It's not the maximum, but the minimum you need to worry about. For example, if an esc is rated to handle a 27t motor, it will handle any motor with more turns than that, just not less turns.  |

Hmm ok. I have seen esc's that say 9-35t and a more exensive model says like 7-37t. So i could run a 65t lathe with a jolt+r esc and be ok? |

|  hpi wheely king esc http://myrcmt.com/review/wheely/ The electronic speed control, a critical part of any electric vehicle, can make night-and-day difference in the way a vehicle drives. With the Wheely King you get HPI's Jolt +R high-frequency ESC. Those are the words you want to see--high frequency and reversing. An ESC that isn't smooth makes any car feel like a piece of crap and reverse is a must for any backyard basher. The Jolt is rated for motors down to 20-turns and will work with 6-and 7-cell battery packs. Perhaps the best feature of the Jolt is the fact that it's waterproof. Nice. With 18t motor: I was so psyched to see that after running for over 20 minutes straight, the ESC was no hotter than it got with the stock motor. Remember the Jolt ESC is rated for motors with no fewer than 20 turns and this Multiplex is 18t. I was a little worried about this at first, but I figured that since the Jolt has overheat protection and a replaceable fuse, the worst that would happen would be the fuse breaks, and I'd have to get a new one and not use this motor. People with Emaxx trucks run these motors too, and while they are technically below the safe limit for the stock Emaxx ESC, guys say the ESC runs cooler than it does with the stock motors. I asked fellow RCMT.net member TXTmaniac how that could be and he said it's all a matter of efficiency. The Multiplex motors are more efficient, draw less current, and put out more power. Gotta love that. |
