RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - Savage Flux XS Castle Electronics Question

I find it a bit insulting that because I choose to question what I consider issues I am being labelled as a 'basher' as I don't maintain the status quo.

What happened to informed intelligent discussion?

The numbers don't lie, I am curious how the SCT combo is specifically labelled as 2s only (no 3s with that motor on that ESC) yet the Flux XS uses an ESC with similar specs, a motor which is clearly less efficient, but they pretty much invite you to run 3s through it.

I've been told here that a 30 odd amp jump is reasonable for 200kv, so by that logic, if I go down from the 4000kv to a 2000kv, my battery should be getting charged as every 200kv drop is a 30 amp drop? Doesn't make sense.

I have no problem proving my data:

Flux XS, stock esc, stock motor

Compared to Flux XS, stock esc, Castle 3800 motor

And when placed in a Hyper 10SC, with a HPI Q Base esc, geared for around 30-35mph, the 4000kv motor still pulls huge amps (and runs hot)

..the numbers don't lie. (Esc's both run with default settings, deans plugs, Turnigy Nanotech 65/130C 2s Hard Cased Lipo)
