emilevirus Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) I have a deal on a Ezrun MAX10 SCT 120A I wanted to get, but spec sheet says it's for 1/10 only. Why? The ESC in my 1/8 truggy is also 120A and it works just fine. Why would it not handle a 40xx motor if it's 120A? Is it just for marketing purposes? My motor is a 2200kv Thanks for clarifying.

bertberr Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Some RTR 1/8 rigs come fitted with 80 or 100a esc's. If it was me, I'd take the chance, 99% sure it would be just fine, depending on what motor you're running it with - you don't say what KV it is? If its higher end of 40mm can territory ie 2650kv, then I'd prob just pony up for a quicrun 150a, but if its only a circa 1800-2200kv 4068 then I reckon the MAX10 SCT would be just fine, particularly in a lightish rig like 1/8 buggy. Remember some 1/10 MT's are heavier than some 1/8 buggy. Ultimately its your call though - don't blame me if your new ESC goes up in smoke 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Plenty of people run them in 8th scale stuff. Just gear it accordingly and it might be a bit pedestrian on 4s. I personally wouldn't go lower than a 150a for 8th scale, but I like a bit more speed and 6s these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
