brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

[Overdriven]

If its rated for 20amps I'd say it can do it. Even in a big truck like that the servos won't draw more than 1 amp each (maybe 2 amp spikes), and each fan will be less than that. You might want to power the servos off the ccbec instead of the reciever though. 1/5th scale guys to this to lower the current going through the Rx, and to make sure the servos get full power. Only the white (usually) signal wire ends up going to the Rx. Glad to see the truck will end up running agin in its brushless glory.

hey Jayson, did you get the soldering figured out last week? let me know what you are up against and i will offer anything i can to help. cant wait to see it running.

Yea, a guy i know that comes into the lhs has a big mean soldering iron, like a power company grade one, he has some high amp airplane and heli setups that he has soldered some bac's on with it (bac- big ass connectors). And hopefully in another week my 2217 will be here, If not i will give Castle a ring. Then maybe ican get connectors on it and then i will be ready to boogey with no brake cause i havent finished them yet.
