OG Rooster question
- Thread starter STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER
- Start date
I have never run my OG Roosters on more than seven cells. I have however run my Super Rooster, which is rated for 10 cells, on 12 cells. I had problems with it cutting out but a BEC would fix that. Otherwise, no ill effects.
Use that info however you want. ;-):lol:

So if its good for 10cells, then it should be ok with a little 1250mah 3s lipo, right?
Yes. You would just want to add a low voltage cutoff device for the use of LiPo.

I've run my very used OG Rooster on eight 2/3A GP1100 cells and it lasted for about four months before it acted up. Now it will run for about 30 seconds and then it acts like it shut down due to over temp or something....although it is barely warm if that.
Why the heck doesn't Novak wake up and make a crawler ESC that can take at least 8 cells???? BTW, I hate the high pitch noise that the Mambas make or I'd buy a Sidewinder for sure.
I was just wondering since this thread is about the og rooster I may be getting one in a parts trade how are they when it comes to crawling I'm building a crawler based on the wheely king thanks btw did most the normal mods when it was torn down "thumbsup"
I don't like the noise either. Call Castle and let them know what you think- I did. The more people that they hear it from, the more chance they will do something about it.

They work fine when they are working, but not as good as a Rooster Crawler...but that still can't handle enough voltage! :twisted: Only 7 cells max.... :roll:
Good idea, I'll call them....love thier products functionality, but can't handle the noise. "thumbsup"

I've heard a few ppl talk about the "whine" from the MM... I put one in my Clod and I don't hear this whine... Or at least, anything different than when I had my EVX in there... I just attributed it to the motors...
Could it be the EVX I ran was making much the same noise?
