Fantom Ion 17.5 Turn Brushless on 4s Lipo

[fastbaja5b]

Well after asking if ppl thought I could run my Fantom 17.5 on 4s I thought I'll give it a go, I think the resounding opinion in the chatbox was I'd kill the motor quickly.

Geared it 22/86


All Set up to go



Temp Sensor on motor.

Gave it 3-4 minutes before I hit a kerb (damnit!) 4s + 17.5 = Fkn FAST!

Amp draw was fine:



Temps were surprising, motor was hottest when I was carrying the car outside by the back. Temps do move markedly due to airflow speed as well.



So yes I'd say 17.5 on 4s is fine.
