NOFX Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi. Our little un broke the esc in his mmt. I'm broke at the mo , but have a 120a esc that I could probably shoe horn in. The original esc was 40a 4s compatible. Would the 120a esc work? I don't want a rolling fireball as he loves bashing his little truck. Ta for any info b?

Brandon Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yeah that should be fine. If the other Esc can run 4s then you should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 With the 120a esc, you will need to make sure your lipos have enough current output (c rating) to cope with the extra current draw the esc will need Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the esc will be 3+ times the power. Ta for the answers peeps Edited February 10, 2017 by NOFX Autocadrivel is posting bollocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross9999992 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 That would depend on what motor it is really. That's what decides the amps needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's a 2810kv motor. If I can't get it running for him. I'll buy a chassis for my sandstorm & give him that. But it's 2wd & very tail happy. It took me a while to get used to it after the 4wds. Ta for all the replies. Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Only reference I can find to 2810kv is a hobbyking motor with a 50a max draw. If that's what it has then I'm not surprised the old esc died. Something cheap like https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hobbypower-Racing-60A-Brushless-ESC/dp/B00DU4AB98 could do you for 2s/3s, they are small and you can even remove the fan for 2s to save more space.
