Question Can a Losi twin-motor MLST ESC handle a single stock Mabuchi 540 27-turn motor? - 09.04.2009, 12:15 PM

Ok, I have a Losi ESC out of a Mini LST, which has outputs for two 370/380 size motors. I have already opened up the ESC and removed the four small-gauge wires and soldered on two large-gauge wires to make it a single-output ESC.

Since it was built to handle two 370 or 380 motors, do you guys think it will handle a single stock 540 motor? The motor is a Mabuchi 540, which is 27-turns, but much less powerful than a "good" stock 540 27-turn motor.

The vehicle I want to put it in is one of those 1/6 scale DUB City Dodge Magnums, but it is pretty light, only 2WD, and is geared pretty low. I have converted it to use hobby-scale electronics, and actually have the ESC installed & working, and have even run the car a little inside, but I haven't taken the car outside for a full shakedown run at full-speed yet. I want to find out if this ESC will handle what I am asking of it first.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
