HAHAHA, so true. While it was not the babies fault, I am sure that it was most likely in the shallow end of te gene pool, if the parents were anything to go by... Thanks for the laugh!

Anyone notice that the rumor is that the MMM is rated for 200A, but the MMM in the "Special Projects" page is rated for only 120A? ( http://www.castlespecialprojects.com...ntrollers.html) Is it a totally different controller than the RC version we use? I really don't think so, and wonder if the amp hungry motors and/or non-optimal gearing are just too much? |
Has anyone checked the specs of the fets used? I am running my v1 on 4s lipo in a erevo geared 19/50 with a 1515 1.5d. From what i can gather that is a reasonably amp hungry motor (not as bad as a 7xl?) and the esc has no issues with it. Motor temps seem to be around 150-260f, and the MMM never gets hot, mostly due to 100% running fan. My lipos do get warm, like 120f. They are trakpower 4900 25c packs, so I figure that the setup is beating 100amps. I have a pair of fp 3700 4s 25c packs that i plan to run in parallel. That should provide the motor with some more power, and we will see who the MMM does. 185 amps cont rating with the fp packs...
