Kraton Back to the 1250kv-

[Dennys]

Had to go back to the 1250kv on 6s. The castle 1650 was overheating with a 20t pinion!
Lets see how this goes!

Weird that it overheats...no?

I am guessing it was because I was using the Spektrum 160a. I was using it on 6s and still was shutting down. I will buy the castle esc and try it then.

At least you had a backup until you sort it out
Looks good!

Probably it.. even with a mmx8s with 1650kv. I was able to gear between 22t and 30t before breaking a sweat.. but you also have to take account of the tire weight.. my powerhobby where heavier due to being belted. I could use 23-24t without issues. Between 130s and low 140s..

I geared my Kraton 6s with MMX 8s and 1650kv motor conservatively with an 18T pinion due to the limited space I have to run my Kraton 6s. I could easily go with a higher pinion: without a fan on the motor, I got temps no higher than 108F after running full throttle runs for over 15 minutes. I've since added a high-speed fan as a safety measure if I decide to increase the pinion size.

Why would that cause the issue? The Firma 160 should be plenty powerful for that motor, no?

I truly don't know what is going on. I was using a 20t pinion on 6s and the power was cutting off after a few short minutes.

I will be buying the mms8s soon to see how it goes with that esc. I will be snjoying the heck out of the 1250kv until it burns out.

thank God...

i know... I though it will be a beast. But soon enough i will buy the esc from castle and put the 1650 back in it to see.
