|  15c 20c 30c
i am running a traxxas velineon in my slash i am running a TrueRC 5000mAh 11.1V 3S1P 15C Pack now my issue when i go full Throttle the esc goes into lipo cut off i know the esc is functioning correctly (by way of A vom) my question is since my bat is a 15c is the velineon drawing to much current for my bat or am i way off base |

You are not off base the batteries aren't up to the job and are dropping a lot under load - get some 25c and you should be fine

Right, 15C is not enough. I run a kokam 2s 5000mah 30c in my slash vxl, works great. 25c should be enough. If you have the choice, I would recommend you to buy 3s! I drove a friends slash with that, incredible... but depends on how much power you want/need.

yes 3s 30/60C 5000mah w/ brushless on a slash is very good. Just avoid a CC 5700. You will burn that up too fast. The velinion is supposed to be good though.

15c? might as well go with a nimh pack. w/ such a low c rating you're really not getting the full benefits of going lipo

Alot of people don't know how to figure out the amp output of a lipo battery but it's really simple. 1000Mah by 10c = 10 amp output simplified 1000 Mili amp hours = 1.0 amp hours 1 amp hour by 10c = 10 amp output 2000Mah by 10c = 20 amp output 3000Mah by 10c = 30 amp output In my Slash and SC10 I have three Lipos, spec'ed like this. MaxAmps 8000Mah, 3s, 20c = 160 amps MaxAmps 8000Mah, 2s, 20c = 160 amps SMC 5200Mah, 2s, 28c = 145 amps Freak's TrueRC 5000mAh 11.1V 3S1P 15C Pack = 75 amps. Not very good for a Vellineon motor, those motors are very hungry. |
