Testing a couple of 1/10 120A ESC (Pictures of the 200A is in here too)

Nice. I've never tried carpet racing and have always wanted to. Is it worth getting into?

It's harder as you need the right set up to have your car running perfect. I used to race asphalt, concrete road and oval track and I also started racing oval clay. Carpet racing has proven to be more challenging though.

Luciano were do you get the Novak HV 1.5 and 2.5 from ?

I have looked but cannot find any , lowest i got was 3.5 . Did you go with the Novak HV because it has a 5mm shaft .

I found the Tekin in 2.5 but don't know if it has the 5mm shaft . I'm thinking the 5mm shaft would be of benefit to a speed run car .

Forgot to ask the kv ratings of those two Novak HV motors .

I found the LRP Vector X-11 3.5T and it's got 9800kv , thinking this might be good one for the speed run on 2s , that's 72,520 rpm .

Luciano have you used any other esc for speed runs and how did they fare ?

The HV1.5 has a 12,630Kv and the HV2.5 has a 8000Kv. I used the Novak Velocity 4.5R and my TC3 went 67mph and my gearing was at 35/69 and it was still going, but I ran out of space. The only ESC that I've been using is my Xerun 120A, but it'll soon be replaced by my 200A one.

Tomorrow is the big day. I'm going to use the 200A again in my dragster and I'm starting out with 3S lipos. Afterwards it's 4S lipos to see how everything goes. Hopefully the Velocity 4.5R can handle such abuse. Good thing it's rotor is wrapped in Kevlar . The drag bike will run on 3S lipos and I'm going to use my own 5.5 motor and 100A esc. I hope it gets bellow 2.0 sec. as I heard it's a little difficult. I'm also going to do some practice runs with my TC3 on 2S lipos. I have the Orion 2.5T in there now and lets see if the Hobbywing Xerun 120A will be ok afterwards.

Hope all goes well , once you have tested a few set ups i'll see what esc you recommend for my 2s speed pan car .

What kv is that Orion 2.5t you are using , i found it in a few stores but no info or specs . Does it have more than the LRP 3.5t at 9800kv ?

I will use either one in my speed car to fine tune the cars handling and for me to get use to speed runs before i look at a faster set ups.

The Novak HV1.5 and HV2.5 were custom request. The normal HV is from 4.5 up to 7.5 I believe. Yes I got because of the 5mm shaft and the longer motor would make a little more torque to push my car better. All the other smaller motors only go down to 2.5 and comes with 3.2mm shafts and those have a Kv of around 11,000-13,000 depending on the diameter of the magnet. I just added a test dummy in my TC3 now. I found a good deal on a Orion Vortex 2.5T, so things should get going Saturday at English Town.
