ESC programability
 

Hello, I'm Beginning to biuld a E-revo and am trying to figure out a good esc/motor combo. I've run Mamba systems on everyting else I own but the Maxx is to small and underpowered according to castle. I really like the programability of their ESC. I understand that the MGM and Warrior ESCs are programmable also. I am curious whether or not the have the same level of computor based programability as the castle systems.

I'm converting my revo from a 2.5hp nitro to the g2r chassis. I want to stick in the 2-3cell lipo range to keep weight down. I'm not looking for something with so much torque that the truck will wheelie on command at 3/4 throttle but something that will be just as quick as the .21-.28 powered buggies I run with at the local track. Any suggestions?

just to clarify, when you say 2s-3s, do you mean two 2s packs for a total of 4s; and two 3s packs for a total of 6s? because you don't want to run less than a 4s in a revo.

i think you should go with a Quark esc, i have one in my maxx and i love it! also i think a xl, lenher 19 series, or a neu motor do very well in your e-revo.

here is the brushless stuff:

xl, lenher 19 series, and neu motors(xl's are on the second page)

you might be able to run the mamba max esc, but it can only run 4s. (with BEC disabled)

and on one last note, you will need a UBEC.

hope this helps!

*edit*

how could i forget! welcome to the forums!

yes a pair of 2-3s packs is what i meant. do the quarks have a problem with overheating due to no heatsinks, or at least none that i can see. I live in Fl and it's ungodly hot and humid here, something that doesn't bode well for cooling electronics.

well i have my quark resting in an aluminum holder/mount with 2 extra heatsinks on the sides and i have yet to over heat it or get it above 135. usually it runs only warm........

you could also put a fan on it and gear on the conservative side.............

Most people add some kind of small heatsinks to theres and have MUCH better temps. I have seen several simply use RAM heatsinks stuck to it.

cool. how's the programability? are you able to set throttle/brake curves like the mamba esc?

no, but you can set how much torque there is on start up, the amount of breaking power there is and lots of other stuff. i really really really like mine:004: ! i have never had a problem with it.
