Hi Asylum peeps.
So I have this new Notorious 6S. LOVING it. Only run 6 packs through it. So far only on 4S. A single HRB 5000 mAh 50C. Yesterday evening we had our longest bash session yet and I was checking temps. We ran the pack down to 3.7v /cell. After the run I noticed the battery itself was 110-115 degrees F and much hotter than the plastic battery box around it.
Some details. Stock pinion - not the speed pinion. Good 20 minute bash session on gravel, dirt and doing jumps etc. At the end of the run I did a half dozen speed passes on the street out front. I have a Hobbywing 150 amp Quickrun ESC. (soldering mistake and I fried the BLX185). Transmitter and ESC calibrated. Punch 6. The motor got up to 145 F after the speed passes at the end, but had been staying 110 - 120.
Anyway - what temperature will damage the battery? Is it the speed runs that heat it up? Will putting 2x 3S packs in keep the battery cooler?
I'll start temp checking the battery from now on as I dial this beast in. Planning to go to 6S this weekend as the boy and I are getting comfortable with 4S. Later that night I checked and all 4 cells were 3.70 so voltage is very consistent.
