Big maxx on 5s sounds like a great combo. I run the reg maxx w/fan on 4s in my mostly stock new emaxx and it is great. Are you looking to sell the other big maxx...asking hopefully

[plettenbergs]

no, not selling the other motor/esc for now...i have another UE VBS and a one of a kind custom emaxx chassis i might build!!!!...i will let YOU know first lincpimp if i do!...you have helped me in the past with my other ?'s...so one 5s is the biggest batt i can run?....have not purchased the lipo yet,i will be getting the best money can buy!!...need charger also

[suicideneil]

I believe you could run a 6s lipo on that esc (18nimhs is about the same voltage), but it might be too much power with that Pletty for the esc to take- only rated for 98amps afterall.

[plettenbergs]

only 98 amps...you dont get much for $375 these days!...I emailed the guys at I-Care to see if they can tell me for sure! what batt is too big!

[plettenbergs]

the last time i ran the dual setup on 24nimh the motors were cold after a full run!.....the dip switches were set totally wrong!...i think they were set for a glider airplaneor something,not dual BL aluminum beast from hell!...it was fast before,i want it to fly!!!!!!

hi

i would strongly recommend to use a fan on the esc and start with a small pinion. check the temps on the esc. the 18.97kw is not such a powerful esc. its expensive and five years ago it was one of the few options available. by now things have changed and technology moved on. no one talked bout castle, mgm, quark or others those times. it was more or less hacker, schulze or bk back then. from a today's point of view the 18.97kw is much too expensive for what it can do imo.

Amen to that. Even their newest stuff is still double the price of its american equivelents, with questionable after sales service sometimes.

[plettenbergs]

my buddy wants to sell me ... 2-FlightPower EVO25 2170mah 11.1v 3S1P...can i run these two batts at the same time with my single motor setup?

[Arct1k]

That is only going to get you just under 4400mah 3s (too low capacity) or 2170 at 6s (too much volatge and not enough capacity).

I think you are better off looking at something else.

[plettenbergs]

thats what i was thinking...but i wanted to ask the PRO's...i will keep looking for 5s 5000-6000mah 18.5 volt battery at decent price!!

[Arct1k]

I would looks for 2x3000mah 5s

[plettenbergs]

how about this...Polyquest 3200mAh 5S 30-50C Lipoly @$199...can i run two of these with my current set-up?

[suicideneil]

Certainly could- wire them in parallel to get fantastic run time and cool battery temps.

[Arct1k]

These should work to:

ZIPPY-H 3300mAh 5S1P 20-30C Lipoly Pack $77 x2

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6428

ZIPPY-H 4000mAh 5S1P 20-30C Lipoly Pack $98 x2

http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6414

Better still:

ZIPPY-R 4800mAh 25C 5S1P $99
http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=7238

Huge run time - but a bit heavier...

[plettenbergs]

if they were in stock would i wire them in parallel??...3300 or 4000 only?....why not 5k or 6K?
