VintageMA · **Mamba 25 ESC max temp. -** 03.19.2007, 04:27 PM

Most people are concerned about the max temp. the motors should hit, but I am curious about the max temp the Mamba 25 ESC can handle.

I have a Mamba25 and a 6800 in a mLST. When I set the pinion to 25T with either 0 or 10% punch control, the motor gets up to about 130 degrees, but the ESC hit about 190 according to my temp probe - is this too high?

As the ESC is wrapped in plastic I can't see how a heatsink attached to it would help much.

Thx.
