XL5 + Titan + 3s = ?

[BL_RV0]

Would the XL5 esc and the Titan 12t motor be able to handle 3s? I believe that that Matthew_Armeni posted that it could- Thoughts?

[TDC57]

I think so!, 3s is the max i read that somewhere before...

[BL_RV0]

Is there any videos?

[TDC57]

Your best bet is to search the Traxxas site, you will find what your looking for..

Good luck...

[BL_RV0]

[TDC57]

[BL_RV0]

= Smoke.

I'm guessing but it's an educated one.

[BL_RV0]

I believe Linc said ot could be done.

I know the titan 12t can easily handle 3s, I have them running in a few vehicles like that. I have not run an xl5 esc on more than 8 cells nimh yet, but that was a while ago. Someone here with a slash, think it was matthew a., ran it on 3s lipo, and I have seen a few slashes running 3s a123 packs. Might want to drop him a pm...

Yes it will there are guys at my track that do it in there slash but when it get slow then you got to stop or you will break you battery

wow. people talk about the titan smoking on 8cells. I amazed it will take 3s. I suppose people aren't gearing down for the extra voltage.

You are probably right. I run a pair of them in a tamiya twin dagger and they work fine, the truck is geared for 35mph, and has plenty of power. I run a 3300mah 18c lipo and that does not get hot. Neither does the novak super duty esc. They are 20 dollar motors, can't expect too much out of them...

My Titan was flat out handling 7.2v nimh

[Matthew_Armeni]

3s is not a problem, just be sure to gear down and know you will shorten the lifespan of the motor. Also, there's no LVC on th XL5 so watch your battery.
