i like 2215 :)

Very good runtimes and temperatures... The 2215 is plenty for something like the baja.. but Bigger than baja, I don't think it will cut it.. I can't see that 2215 powering a 38Lb Truck and going fast.... Hey Virusss, how much does your baja 5B weigh ready to run, because I'm thinking of gettin' one for a brushless project with a 2230....?

aqwut, my baja weight ready to run 9.5 kg...for me 2230 is too much, the drivetrain EXPLODE :)

What ESC are you running in that thing? I'm assuming its probably a high amp boat esc?

100A 12S HobbyWing ESC..... Works awesome, Surprisingly...

Sentylon esc (hobbywing) is a fantastic esc for the price, my friend use one in a baja on 12S and works super fine!!!

aqwut · 09.21.2009, 11:34 PM

I use that ESC in everything that requires 6S or more..

looks good aqwut. i cant wait to see it double the kv!

looks like i am going to be buying one of those hobbywing esc's considering my f-ing $400 hydra 240hv wont even turn on. curse words and wrenches went flying, to say the least, when i confirmed that i had a POS. i may just have to start looking at another brand. i am so sick of sending a new esc to castle every month. i have had over 7 MMMs fail already. 3 of them v3's. they are great about backing up their product mind you, but is there something more reliable out there? and just as good too?

My favourite ESC is still the HobbyWing 12S100A.. My Hydra240 acts up a bit too.. I bought that ESC because everyone said, oh yeah, it's good, it's this and it's that... Mind you, I love the programming.. but all I really need is voltage cutoff... I'd have to say, the Schulze 40.160WK was and still is my favourite ESC so far... I had one MMM fail on me, just went poof and another one starting to act up.. I have 2 MMM to send back.. But I think you'll do fine with the hobbywing 12S100A, don't forget you need a pistix and don't forget to set the throttle range.....

The only drawback of that ESC is that you don't have punch on a dead stop.. once you roll, even the slightest.. You could then give her lots of punch...

Great controller, but I have now went to my little ESC that could

and it took the place of the 40.160 in my BPP truggy which I only use 5-6S lipos in. I don't know how well the new Schulze large ESCs are, but so far the 40.300 have been burning up.

That's what is stopping me from buying that ESC....
