I had mentioned above that my 1st gen Zippy 3S 20-30C 5000mAh (circa May 2008) packs reach 150F. This is not true. The problem is with my girly hands thinking things are way hotter than they. Today my trusty Turnigy IR temp gauge gave me the following results after I noticed a performance drop but before I hit the LVC.
ESC - 123F
Motor - 122F (active cooling with two 40x20MM high speed 5V fans + Novak 5412 heatsink)
Batteries - Left side 112F/ Right side 111F
22/68, Punch 50%, Startup LOW. Bashing terrain was bumpy 2-6inch grass with bare dusty patches (large unused play ground). So considering that my truck was inappropriately geared for the terrain to begin with, I think those temps are pretty much in the green, no? Climate was mid to late 80s with 999999999% humidity.
E-Revo - Mega ACn 22/45/1E MMM 6S
E-Maxx - Feigao 7XL MM 4S
AX10 RTR - Stock :D
Micro-T - Losi LiPo upgrade
Mini LST2 - Discarded. Useless POS.
1/8 Scale Baja Bug - Medusa 36-50-3300 eZrun 60A 3S
