Does the cap packs help in the cogging at low speeds
To completely remove this you would need a sensored system.Does the cap packs help in the cogging at low speeds
The killmode cap packs are working great. I am using one in my x-bug x-maxx, and in my senton build as well. All 3x are the 13,200uf 6-pack units. Each is wired to a hw max 5 esc the same way with leads via xt90 connectors.
How are these working for you? Can you tell a difference? It seems to be a little overkill. With that MAX5 esc I wouldn't think it was needed since it was developed for a 1/5 scale motor and you are using an 1/8 scale motor. However these things are not always that cut and dry. If it makes a difference I would consider it for my MAX6 esc. I'm not sure if the motor or servo cares about voltage "ripple" but getting a little more consistent performance throughout the battery charge sounds worthwhile. Please let me know how this is working out for you. I am new to the cap pack idea and am very interested to know if it will be an actual benefit to me.
What is the difference in the ceramic over the electrolytic caps
The base current is really unimportant here. It's Inrush current spikes that are more important here. I just need to test to get a better idea of the current profile of these motors.Some of these guys are running higher amp motors with high speed gearing wouldn't your model need to be tested at 80-100 amp
For the most part that is correct. I just need to know what they are in the real world and I can scale the numbers from there as well as understand the roll the parasitic inductance plays. I suspect this parasitic Inductance plays a bigger roll than the even the ESR. This would mean that shorter and bigger wires would be more beneficial. Allowing you to simply get more out of the already very low ESR of your Lipo pack.With higher volts the amp draw is less but when running larger motors and higher gearing won't the spikes be at longer times with higher loads
