The ESC is here :D

I just tried it on my Apogee 2S 3800 pack, 14T pinion, ESC straight from the box.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's absolutely insane!

I didn't go over half throttle, and it was barely flexxing its muscles and it is already too fast. I was running on WET GRASS and it was just holding the nose in the air the whole time.

I knew it was going to be good, but i was unprepared for this. Just shows how much that crappy hacker ESC was holding it all back.

Screw 3S...no need for it.

:043: :043: :043: :043: :043: :043: :043: :043:

After 5 minutes of idiotic grinning my feet were getting cold (no time for shoes...) i came back inside for fear of hitting something.

The ESC was ever so slightly warm, batts stone cold, and the motor slightly warm.

I'm going to back the timing off a bit.

Scoob...I want a speed demon project type thing (not that putting 4S lipo in a touring car is much of a project lol), so i was thinking tourer+lots of pinion+a pair of Apogee 3800s on the MM 4600 would be just the job. Undrivable, but fun. I have my doubts though now...this setup just flatout rips. I can't wait to try it in my tourer.

I was thinking on the same lines as you. Run on 2S on the 4600 most of the time for plenty of speed and power but good runtime, 3S for fun, and 4S just to try it.

Going to maybe pick up a 380c 13t for running with 3S full time - that would give me a whole load of runtime, without the unusable ammounts of speed :)

Thanks everyone for all your help as always.

Edit: Just got back. 25 minutes on the Apogee pack of extremely hard driving!
