Phoenix ICE HV Car Software

[Finnster]

Damn, that 160 is a big controller. Will the 100 be ported to cars? The 80 might be pushing it my app, but the 160 seems a bit overkill. I could swing it, but, damn. A 120A in between those two would be perfect.

What about anti-spark?

[sikeston34m]

I'll probably get the 160 amp version even though the 80 amp version will surely suit my needs.

12 Lipo cells holding 3.7 volts per cell under a 80 amp load is 3552 watts.

Just under 5 Horsepower.

I'm thinking that pushing any kind of serious amp load on HV is gonna take a 1/5th scale or "larger" type RC.

We're looking at some serious power here guys.

Here's some figures for ya.

On 12S, and at the Max Continous amp load ratings, here's how the Ice HV Controllers stack up provided your lipos hold 3.7 volts per cell under the load:

ICE 40 amp HV ESC = 1775 watts or 2.4 horsepower
ICE 60 amp HV ESC = 2664 watts or 3.6 horsepower
ICE 80 amp HV ESC = 3552 watts or 4.8 horsepower
ICE 160 amp HV ESC = 7104 watts or 9.5 horsepower

Serious Power!

These are going to find the limits of the drivetrain parts for sure.

can you say CC powered go-cart

I've been thinking of building one with the SHV-200 controllers but I haven't been able to find powerful enough motors that didn't cost a small fortune.

I will need the 160 amp version and so will many that make large scale conversions. I will be using it for a HPI Baja 5B SS Brushless.

Looking at CC's tech documentation it shows that surge watts for the 2215 is 5000 Watts. My calculation for 8, 10 and 12S setup's which I'll be experimenting with looks like this:

5000 = 44,4 x A => A = 113 Amps(12S config)
5000 = 37,0 x A => A= 135 Amps (10S config)
5000 = 29,6 x A => A = 169 Amps (8S config)

Astro makes some high quality motors at decent prices, but you can get bicycle hub motors for pretty cheap too. Run them stockmonkey style and you would have a cheap setup.

Brushless?

It would be cool to convert this to bl power.

Yeah, brushless. Astro 3210 or 3220 motors can be found at astroflight.com. Pretty big "rc" style motors, industrial construction.

Search google for "9c electric bike" to get a bunch of relevant info regarding hub motors. The 9c is a popular motor that is priced very low right now, one of the best values on the market for power : cost ratio.

[Unsullied_Spy]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm keeping an eye out on Craigslist for a go kart or small 4 wheeler with a bad engine to convert.

[SV6000]

I would like to see an option on the car software to turn the motor braking off and just run mech brakes. Especially in a 1/5 scale car. What do you guys think??

[Semi Pro]

there is ........... just set the brakeing to 0, you can do that on any mamba car esc


or set the prop folding value to 0 on an airplane esc

updates?
