Hi all,
I did my first tests today with a Kontronik Jazz controller in a car. Only one weird thing happened so I'm fairly upbeat about running a Jazz on my 1:8 conversion. The motor and ESC barely felt warm after full throttle runs up and down a slightly inclined road. And this is with zero cooling and minimal airflow around the ESC.
When I get my new rear wheels setup I will do some tests on grass. And
maybe some tests at 6S. I only have one pinion, and on 6S the car will be mathematically capable of 80 MPH!!! 40 MPH is scarey enough, so I think I need to first get new gearing...
I will get some video of the car soon, but for now text, photos, and test data will have to do. Instead of repeating myself with lower resolution graphics, check out
my blog. :)
More feedback to come!
