ESC questions
 

I found this esc on ebay and it was cheap and was wondering if it could handle a 3s or 2s lipo with a lipo alarm with it. Thanks.

Re: ESC questions
 

from the specs,which i assume you read. 2s yes , 3s you could fry it.
the specs also say it has a low voltage cut off

Re: ESC questions
 

I read the specs but didnt understand them well and thanks for the reply.

Re: ESC questions
 

Looks like the LVC is set to 5 volts, waaaaaaayyyyyy too low for a 2S LiPO (which should be 6.4+ volts for 2S). Does not say it can be adjusted.
Also does not say if it's "instant reverse".

For $12, you can try it, but you may be disappointed for use in a crawler.

Oh, and add a few $$ to replace the Tamiya connectors shown in the picture.

Re: ESC questions
 

Could I use a low voltage alarm and run 2s and is the tamiya connecter really that bad

Re: ESC questions
 

Yeah, I would like to know about the tamiya connectors also. I use the Dean's just because it is what my charger came with and I wanted my sons and my trucks to be the same. But is there really a good difference between any of the connectors? Amp ratings? Loss of voltage? Etc.?

Re: ESC questions
 

Would traxxas connectors or xt60 plugs be better or any good at all

Re: ESC questions
 

All of the above, the Tamiyas WILL become an issue down the road and start getting hot leading to loss of connection & reduced performance.

Traxxas or XT60 are better, most here use Deans, I use Anderson PowerPoles/Sermos.
