I used a Dimension Engineering park bec instead of the built in BEC. I peaked at 1125W, 181.36A@5.58V
Power Graph

Have you noticed any difference between the 2 frequencies?

Was too cold last nite to run both 8 and 16khz to record a difference in efficiency. I will warm up my battery pack before I run the frequency difference test for max output.

Ok sounds good.

I ran the 200A esc on 6s1p A123, medusa 4800 50mm, geared 58/12 and eagletree showed 1700W peak. The pack was cold when I used it.
weather low fifties.
batteries cold
16khz esc setting
timing normal
initial acceleration high

PEAK 1730W=185.72A&6.1V
tires imex 4.25"
motor got to 100F in less then 4 minutes.

You are crazy lol. We definitely need better batteries now. Goodness gracious.

I should try those packs Mike sells and see how low I can pull those with this ESC.

Little video of the 1.5T working:

It takes a little bit of power to get it moving, but the 200A ESC doesn't seem to mind it.

Nice video. That thing must be geared to the moon!

For that motor yes, but it's a speed car lol.

[BL_RV0]

What speed are you hoping to get out of it?

Luciano,

Can you post or PM me with the 6s ESC set up procedure? I'm just now getting around to some holiday projects and don't seem to have any reference documents in the package.

how're you going to keep that motor cool? Even just for speed runs I'd imagine it getting red hot...

It's a secrete.
