Even if I had the SHV controller, all I was going to use it with is maybe 14S lipos max on a low turn big motor such as the 1521/2Y (40A), 1521/3D (44A) or a 1527/2Y (35A) and it is not to go fast, but to run it up to twice as long. A lot of people think that High Voltage means speed, but in my usage HV means less AMPs. I can use cheap 2200mAh packs and still run them for around 24 minutes on grass going around 45MPH. In a race that can mean a 30 minutes main due to less load from dirt. Also, I like to keep a margin on voltage. My controller for example will be able to handle 15S lipos, but I'm going to use 10S-12S lipos only and I'll have a marging of 11.1v to be safe. We all know what happens when a controller see voltage close to the FETs spec, they tend to have a melt down. So people keep in mind, HV means less AMPs, more run time and be able to use cheaper lipos. |
Well put Lutach, keep working on that HV esc, I need one.
