Please do, I've had mine (4-pole motor) for way too long and still haven't had any time to run it. I keep saying "in the next few days" but either the weather always goes, or something else comes up.

Today I received the Infinite 100A sensored ESC. First impressions are what I expected. Doesn't look particularly robust, but doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. 14AWG with 3.5mm bullets for the motor leads, 14AWG for the battery leads with a Tamiya connector (I think?) It has about the same footprint as the MMP. The program card is smaller than I expected.
I am going to be using this ESC with a Novak HV 7.5 on 3S in my CRT .5. Got everything else to get it up and running except time. Add it on to the pile of OK Hobby stuff I have that hasn't been tested yet! Do you guys think the 14AWG wire will be sufficient? Motor will be direct solder and battery will be a Dean's, also going to add an external cap. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...3/P1030096.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...3/P1030095.jpg http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f1...3/P1030097.jpg |
For a hvmaxx motor on 3s 14g wire should be fine- I still have 14g on some of my A123 packs and its never been an issue with limiting the power or making the wires run warm, or anything like that.

Tekin RX8 ESC comes with 12 AWG and rated for 210A, so 14AWG for this cheap ESC rated for 100A should be OK.
|
wire size is also rated for distance. 14gauge wire that only 3" long can take way more power than 12gauge thats feet long.

Finally ran the Infinite 4363 4-pole motor today. Was a little bit disappointed in the temps, got up to 180-190F by the end of the run. Given this was in grass with a buggy, so lot's of resistance, but it was still about 40-50F higher than my Neu 1512 ran in the same grass. I'm probably going to toss the Castle Blower on there and run it for awhile, but I don't know if I'd purchase another one. I'm sure the temps would be better on dirt, but still not nearly as efficient as a Neu.
Max current was about 86A and max power just over 1200W, geared for 40mph on 4S. |
any body get there 160a esc in?
