Lipo burst/C raiting vs ESC

[Turbo Dan-O]

So, I am still very new to lipos and was wondering about this. All the lipo ESCs say you can run 2s, 3s, ect but nothing about burst rait or C rating. Is any burst/C raiting okay as long as you use a 2s lipo with a 2s ESC or do you need to stay away from big burst/C ratings?

The c ratings, are what the battery is capable of supplying. As long as your motor setup is within the esc's capabilities. The battery will not raise the amperage.

Voltage is what matters, not "C rating" (to a point). A very low C rating may mean you don't get much "punch" when you need it, but a high C rating won't hurt anything in the rig."thumbsup"

Low C rated batteries can hurt the ESC if the motor is too amp hungry. When the voltage starts to sag under acceleration it causes a voltage and amperage ripple every time the ESC switches on and off.

Choose your motor speed based on the voltage you want to use. Choose your capacity and C rating based on the power your vehicle will need. Choose your ESC to handle everything and be the most over rated part.
