Turnigy/Hobbywing 150A with 2350kv 3674 battery question.

[Shimmy]

Hey fellas,

I am seriously considering buying a used Hyper ST which already has a Tekno conversion done to it, it comes with a couple of pinions, 3 bodies and 2x motors, 1x Novak HV 4.5 and 1x Novak HV 6.5.
All that for AU$250 posted.

I also have 1/10 models which use 2s lipos and I only just got 2x turnigy 5000mah 2s 20c lipo packs.

So I am wondering if the Turnigy/Hobbywing 150A ESC with the 2350kv motor would be fine with 2x 2s 5000mah 20 lipos?
They claim the motor runs at a maximum of 74A, but I am sure burst would be much higher.

Later down the track, I would eventually swap out the 2350kv motor and probably go for something closer to 2000kv or a bit under, I would most likely keep the hobbywing esc.

I would sell the novak motors for the turnigy/hobbywing combo, from what I can see, they are too high kv for what I want and would mean having to get bigger and more expensive batteries.

Cheers.

I see no issue with the HW setup on 4s lipo, just gear it appropriately.
The Hvmaxx motors dont really need bigger batts, they do fine with mid-range lipis as they are only 380XL motors in 550XL clothing- you just have to gear down ALOT to get the correct wheel speed- they also do well on 3s lipo, but if 4s is what you got, then the 6.5 motor would be the one to play with, see how it does.

The 2350kV motor works perfectly on 4s. HW also has a 2000kV 4465SL motor. It's shorter, but larger diameter. Should have more torque potential, but really, the 2350kV will be very fast. The 2000kV will probably give you more runtime though...you'll just have to gear it taller for the same top speed as the 2350kV.

Cheers for the replies fellas, I appreciate it.

However, it seems I just missed out on the Hyper ST :(.

But this info still helps me for when I do eventually get around to getting me a 1/8th truggy.
