Quick FXR Question

[frdtrkguy]

Are you guys running the FXR on 3s lipo? The manual says the FXR is rated for 2s and the FXR-Pro for 3s. I just assumed that the FXR could handle a 3s and 2 55t's??

Thanks

Yes, I and many others run the FX-R with a 3C Lipo. Check the website for the most up to date manuals and details.

Tekin has stated that they will honor the warranty should we use a 35 turn or higher (45, 55, etc....) using the 3C Lipo setup

The manual is wrong. You can use a 3s lipo as long as you are using a 35 or more turn motor.

I did it and had no problems. Look on their site.

Under the FXR specs:
input voltage: 4-9 Cells / 2S Lipo (3S with 35T or higher motor)

Yes, 35 turns on a 3S is okay, but remember when you use two motors like on the Bergs and run them in parallel (like you should) you're cutting the number in half. Two 55 turn motors in parallel is about the same as a single 27 turn. So keep that in mind. I do know plenty of people are running even lower turn motors in their Bergs with a single ESC... personally I use a pair of 65 turns.

I also recommend an external BEC if using a 3S lipo.

several people are using a single FXR w/3clipo and 35 turns on MOA's, I have seen others use Cobalt puller 7t's also with 3c's with no issues on the FXR. Using a external BEC is highly recommended when using 2 motors and 2 servos
