RC Marty Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Hi I'm looking to set up a WLTOYS 144001 as a speed run machine. Not looking to go too lary was thinking of using a 5200kv motor,but which amp ESC should I go for? I want to run it off of a 3S battery, should I go 60A ESC or an 80A ESC. I want to minimise chances of me frying anything and also to keep temps down. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 If you've got the motor go for a hobbywing 120a BL120 ESC. they are about £50 a pretty good value for money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Marty Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks Alex. Would a 120amp esc run a 2s though? As I wouldn't always be running the 3s battery (but it's a concession I'm willing to make for the sake of a speed run orientated car.

Redback Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 What esc smoked was it a surpass or something? Cant go wrong with hobbywing for reliabilty and being really hard to kill. 1st choice hobbywing ezrun max 10 sct 120amp - 760amp burst. 2 - 4s might be too big for the small car but stonking amounts of power. 2nd choice hobbywing ezrun max 10 - 60 amp - 450 amp burst. 2 - 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
