Smoking ESC

[BL_RV0]

Man this sucks. Lutach, i'd have 3 of your ESC's now, but theyre so big I can't fit them in any of my current 1/8 stuff! It seems like 160F on the ESC is a bit high for the kind of driving you were doing, George.

Like I said before, I'm going to do a torture test on any ESC I have before even going to the track .

Anyway, you can send one to Luciano so he can send it to me. 160*F was the temp after the smoking.

I just want to make sure evryone knows this, "I really like this ESC. In spite of what happened, I will buy another one again".

Lito,

The member (magman) replied to me and he'll let me ship out his unit so you can get back in action. I'll send it out tomorrow and send you tracking number. Here is a little video showing what I did to secure my caps:

That's great. I'll be dropping the ESC today and will PM you the tracking number. It will go USPS Priority. Thank you very much.

That's what I was trying to do but I chose to just wrap them halfway in order for the heat to dissipate better .

Lesson learned. I'll shrink-wrap them better with the next one and just try to run them with stock settings.

You can change the settings to your liking, but I reather have the timing set to middle for the Y wound 4 pole motors. You should also see how many AMPs your pulling just to make sure it's not exceeding the 180A burst.

I don't have an Eagletree to check on the amps . But yes, I'll keep the timing on the middle setting this time around.
