Typhon Speedrun esc advice.

[King blitz]

I've never ran my 8s esc on over 5s.....it's a must for the speeds I wanna run...will never run it on higher volts..I just need it's 400amps of power from it

Oh ok I see what your saying.so I'm not familiar with 5s.actually never seen one before.i own a few 2 s lipos and a few 3s lipo .when I need 4s I use the 2 x 2s and when I need the 6s I use my 2x 3s lipos together.mostly on my speed boats.so what does a 5s look like?

 

[K-BASH]

Oh ok now I get it . because of the voltage cut off.so for a 4s what's a good esc that's not to costly?

Mm2?

Set your volts to 12v for 4s for a realistic accurate speed...

Oh I tossed the 4s esc outta my outcast for today.

Or did I misunderstand?

I think @K-BASH ’s comments about voltage were strictly about the speed calculator.

Battery voltage sags under load, so you reduce the voltage in the speed calculator for a more accurate estimate.

 

[K-BASH]

Yes ,exactly what dure16 said
I use 10v for 3s
12v for 4s
15v for 5s
17v 6s

 

[King blitz]

Yes ,exactly what dure16 said

Same here.i got confused about what k-bash said but I know now what he meant

 

[Hawgwild1717]

12v for 4s
15v for 5s
17v 6s

Got ya sorry I re read the thread lol. That makes sense the voltage would drop under load. My dumb self packed the car batteries spare tools etc to work with me and learned on lunch break I forgot the controller smh.

What's a good mph to try to get out of this thing before I buy a limitless or infraction and get serious?

90

 

[Hawgwild1717]

90

Thanks lol was gonna set a goal for this and then move on. Figured I'd learn more how to drive and tune then move up.

 

[Hawgwild1717]

Gonna try to find this battery.

 

[K-BASH]

Those aren't good for speed..go for a 70c or 90c..much better

Thanks man that's why I came here to pick you guys minds.

 

[Diem Turner]

The 70C G+ line is where its at.

I have a 3s typhon and running a Spektrum 1900kv motor with a spectrum 130-amp esc on 4s and that's more than enough for a 3s typhon. Here are some motors for size comparison. Spektrum 160-amp esc and a Max 5 and a max 6.

 

[K-BASH]

I put xlx2 in vendetta, not just to do it....I maxed the mmx8s out at 400a an required the xlx2s power to go faster.....kinda sucked to need the most powerful esc to progress..lol
