DE Modelling Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Hey guys... I have a question, I am hoping there will be a simple answer. I've installed an Absima Trust B Spec 55t Motor for slower speeds and more pulling power (im told) into my Tamiya Truck When I ran it last my ESC went up in smoke. Ive read that some times to much power drawn to the motor can overload the ESC.. Im guessing this is whats happened. Now.. I still have the same motor installed, but have a Turnigy TGY i6 2.4ghz radio set up... Would anyone know what ESC would be suitable for this set up... Hoping for a simple answer....

DE Modelling Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 If Im completely honest I dont know... I could describe it but Id probably be describing most ESC's on the market. Many thanks for you reply I shall look into that one. And get back to you... DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE Modelling Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 So.. not sure about the 55T on the motor and the specs on the ESC saying Motor Limit: 12T at 7.4v... does this mean they are not compatible? Dont really want another ESC go up in smoke.. lol Any advice really grateful DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 You're ok. It means you can't go below 12T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spannermonkey Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I run a couple of 1060 in my trucks with 55t motors no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
