Mini Inferno Project

[joeling]

Hi,

In the midst of my agony over numerous busted controllers while trying to convert my 1/8 last year, I bought a mini inferno ST to try my luck. The rational behind this is that since this is smaller & there are proven systems that work in this platform, I should not need to fear the steep learning curve & expensive school fees.

How wrong was I with this naive assumption.:007: Nothing shold be taken for granted. My system :

1) BPP wraith motor
2) Quark 33A car controller
3) Hyperion 3S
4) 14T pinion then dropped tp 13T pinion
5) 3racing mini inferno wheels (killed the original ST wheels)
6) some upgrade to the center slipper - MIP

Anyway, I am still facing overheating problems even with a fan installed:035:. So I decided to take some drastic action and installed a schulze 18.61 esc with UBEC (the 18.61 does not have BEC). Take that ! I hope this works. I will bring this out to the track for some testing but I'm still pretty afraid I'll fry yet another esc. :036:

Regards,
Joe Ling
