introducing new 1/8 120a car esc

[florianz]

hi,

short update:

the last runs have been good so far. The esc stays cool after 3 batteries, I think highest temps were around 40 deg celsius/104f, mainly around 30 deg / 86f (sunny warm weather). As I have truggy wheels on my buggy and the car is quite heavy (at least 4,3 kg), that's quite good.

Things I have changed: better 12v-fan (the original isn't that good), connected to the battery cables (running on 5s); attached two more 1000uf-caps; better motor-cables (6 qmm instead of 4 qmm). I wanted to add also new battery-cables, but postboned that, I was afraid to destroy something (all pretty close, dunno if a 6qmm cable fits into the board).
Some of you might think, wtf he's modding that esc. I just want to stay on the safe side, and I think that the cables and these little caps probably aren't sufficient for hard bashing and the moving mass of more then 4kg. I don't want to have peaks in voltage that kill the new esc, I just can't afford a new one at the moment...

Only problem during the last ride was that one of the new motor cables got unsoldered at the esc yesterday (after a 10 meter jump). Fortunately that didn't cause any further problems.

Cogging occurs when starting slowly, but honestly, that doesen't really matter.

The only problem is, that I still don't know how to change the settings. Lipo low Voltage is too low for my old zippy-r, drag-brake also too low. Still trying to find the proper manual...
