If it shows you how frustrated I am with the controller, it's been on a shelf for the past year since getting back from MGM. While they had it they upgraded it to 2.32

Unfortunately I can't update it myself.

Both, the LV and HV series, have BECs: Kontronik ESC overview

Unfortunately i only know european websites (german) where to look after them. Kontronik ESC are often used in RC-helicopters. Websites selling helicopter stuff may have them for sale. But with the strong Euro i supose they might be very pricey in the US.

8s is crazy, but 10s would certainly start breaking things really fast...but ii'm guessing higher voltage and a lower kv motor would give you more runtime by drawing less amps on the lipos?

lutach- have you used the 55-10-32? can you elaborate on your experiences in the 10s+ zone and which cars?
cheers

Those were made with 10S2P A123.

lutach- what's your guesstimate on the number of amps you're putting through the schulze on those runs. what else have you run on the 13lb trucks...

Here is the link that shows the graph with 10S lipos with the 1521/1Y: http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...0&postcount=90. The graph posted here is with the same batteries in parallel.

On my 8S/10S A123 setup i draw 65A max FWIW. Stays cool no matter how long or how hard I drive it.

Thanks for the info guys.... anyone have experience with the Kontronik Power Jazz 63V ESC - seems like a good option since it's '100% waterproof'...pricey but I think it's one of the few esc's that are waterproof, especially for the bashers that are going through snow...sure, your lipos & servos may fry but at least the ESC will be ok.
