  1. Thing is with brushless they're useless on 6 cell NiMH... With the cogging etc. It's for a rally car and a CC-01 (whatever I end up picking I'll get two, and yes I have a 19 turn motor in a CC-01) What about the Traxxas XL-5 ESC? Do they go cheaply? Oh forgot to add I'm hoping to get in the
  2. Hey guys, looking for an ESC that can handle a 15 turn motor but that gives instant power, like 100% throttle when you ask for it. I was using a Tamiya TEU-101bk but it just gave up the ghost. Thanks
  3. I'm looking into a Mamba Monster Max brushless system anyway so I might aswell upgrade to Lipo at the same time...
  4. Nope, I don't have any mates into RC locally, and yes I am running the stock twin titans
  5. And as I said before my charger is at a fixed rate(5 amp), nothing is binding(been through it), it runs stock gearing and (I may have forgotten this) I was driving on flat tarmac.
  6. I see. So if I get a 2c LVC will I need two of them?
  7. I'm confused... So, the LVC fits between the ESC and the RX... which means I'll need one for every RC I own... Whats this about 2s and 4s? I plan on running 4s as 2s wouldn't have enough power surely...
  8. Turnigy LiPo's and then a charger from eBay (seen a good one that my mate got, he said it was good so..) then I'll need low voltage cut off for my ESC.. Will I need a balancer too? And a Q about the low voltage cutoff... does it connect to the battery or the ESC? So I can use it on all my models? If so I might be selling all my batts and chargers to fund a LiPo swap.
  9. So the only answer is LiPo then?
  10. They are Orion RocketPack 5100's: http://www.modelsport.co.uk/orion-rocket-pack-5100-stick-pack/rc-car-products/30370 But with Traxxas connectors
  11. Mine didn't come with any batteries....
  12. Nothing is binding It rolls really smooth, and they are 5100 packs. My charger whacks out 5 amp whether they like it or not because it doesn't have a variable output.
  13. It's all stock gearing though..
  14. Hey guys, just a quick question for you E-Revo users... I have a brushed version (got one of the first ones) that runs on twin 6 cell packs. Every time I take it out, these batts get SUPER hot... even with the body off... but today, I took it out and one of the batts got so hot it melted the heat shrink and the plastic cup at the bottom of the pack. But the motors were normal temp and as usual the ESC stayed cool. So how do you guys keep your batts cool?
