Senton 100c Battery

[Shivraaj0247]

Hi guys !
I am running s spektrum 3s 30c battery in my Arrma Senton 3s blx and on full throttle rate I only get 10 minutes of runtime
would a 100c pack solve this ? Has anyone tried it yet ? I have everything stock and was think of upgrading to 26t pinion as well. Would the battery be fine with that as well?

Hi guys !
I am running s spektrum 3s 35c battery in my Arrma Senton 3s blx and on full throttle rate I only get 10 minutes of runtime

It's the mah that nets you your run times. What size are the ones you have?

 

[Shivraaj0247]

5000mah
I checked the battery after the esc hit lvc and it was at 11.4 v so I think it might be the c rating

Are you sure it is charging to 100%

 

[Shivraaj0247]

Pretty sure
when I drive with the throttle rate turned down it uses the full battery and lasts a lot longer, with the throttle rate turned up it doesn’t last long at all and doesn’t even use the full battery

Would guess that the pack isn't putting out enough current and dipping on you which is tripping the LVC. Do you have a 50C pack around you can try out? Do you have a smaller pinion to gear it down so it stresses the pack less to try it out?

You have a saggy pack?

Did you check the temp of motor and esc? Might be over heating.

The minimum requirement is 35C so it sounds like your 30C can’t deliver enough constant amps to satisfy your ESC

26 t pinion to big. Motor be way to hot

My cousin has a 2s 50c pack and i can run that on full throttle rate without any problems
Temps are fine does not overheat

2S is less voltage... so yeah. It would pull more amps if your geared high, but on 3S, the motor spins faster and runs warmer.

 

[Shivraaj0247]

So would getting a 100c be a good idea ?

A quality 40-50C should work, doesn't necessarily have to be 100.

C ratings are made up anyway. The pack you have should be able to supply a constant 150A, which it obviously can't.

Thanks

RC car batteries generally do not require a C-rating as high as 100C. If you want to increase the running time, you can see if you can increase the capacity.
