Typhon Arrma Typhon 3S New PB 121mph

[jondilly1974]

Yesterday I hit a new PB of 119mph with the MM2 Retro ESC, but it died shortly after. I believe it already destroyed my 2400kv motor. I sent it in to Castle today for them to take a look at it.

So, I needed to throw an ESC in there to make a pass, so I stole the MMX8S out of the Typhon 6S. I ended up picking up 2mph on my PB with the ESC swap. But even more importantly the MMX8S runs my motor so much cooler. My normal motor temp after a single pass is usually in the 130F-140F range. Yesterdays pass came in at 140F and it was 91F outside. Today's same pass came in at 105F and ambient temps were 86F. We are talking about a 35F difference with just an ESC swap. Amazing. I am not sure I want that MM2 Retro back from Castle. Maybe they will allow me to trade up to another MMX8S.

Video will be uploaded later tonight.

Thats amazing. Is that app you are using to data log part of Castle products (looking at the water mark on the screen shot)?

Yes it's called Castle Link and it is built into some of their higher end ESCs. Not all of them have logging.

Nice one @jondilly1974 . Congrats.

Changing the ESC in my Typhon was the best thing I did for gains. Stilling running my MM2 but it's an original one so we'll see how far I can push that but might need changing eventually.

It is so crazy how loud an electric RC car is going 120mph. I would swear it had an engine in it, not a motor. ???

Congrats Jon!
Pretty amazing that those plastic axles and diffs are holding up to this power level!!!!

I had the same experience with motor temps being very low on the MMX8s. The control methods in this ESC certainly are better!
