Pheonix HV-110 Question

if you are having problems locating a Pistix you could use a HV Hydra ESC they are compatable with a pistol radio.....and as long as you don"t race you will be fine with a HV110 due to the soft start feature...mine works great in my Revo since I don't go WOT from a stop I get some momentum going before I gun it

Ive got a pistix on the way so I'm good now. I already have the HV110 so I'll stick with that for now.

The Hydra are expensive man. They have some nice specs. WHy cant anyone make a car controller with those kind of numbers. I'm aleays hearing people argue that high voltage is dangerous, but the boats and planes both use HV so WTF.

Whats the soft start feature. Its only going in the basher savage so an instant start isnt needed, but how much does it effect it?

[MetalMan]

Okay, with brake and throttle EPA set to 100% on channel 2 and the trim all the way negative, the HV-110 armed right away. The amount of trigger throw before power is applied to the motor is perfect, and I can actually set this using the sub-trim.

This means I have two PiStix adapters and no real need for them...

[Gee]

Metalman I'll take one of those PiStix off your hands if you pm me a price and your paypal.

from what I have seen is that most of the RC boaters prefer a lower voltage/higher kv seups...I think it is due to the fact that most of them like to race and that is what they are limited to in thier classes. I am planning on building a 33" Delta Force with a 1521 1.5y w/8s and I feel like a rebel.....LOL...its a good thing they have water cooling jackets for the motors

In addition to what Thomas said above, our HV-ESCS are for 6 to 12s ESCS. If you are planning on using 6s or less and want to use an aircraft ESC our Phoenix 125 will do the same thing at a much more reasonable price. It will also be out of warranty in a car but if that is not an issue, go for it. It will also need a pistix. If you are going to run 12s you will need a motor with less than 1200 Kv.

Thanks Bernie. I am going to try it on 10s and a Lehner 1950/12 (1045kv) motor and also try it with 5s and a Neu 1521/1Y (1577kv) motor.
