Hi bro SuperEK4, you also here 
.
Ok guys, i have measure my crt.5 and feel the 80A is too big if I put on top of center differential( if my car bad landing and turn turtle it will hit the esc). I have try to measure few area and found this method (pls refer to the pic). Can the esc place side way? If yes, then I might consider 80A, if no, then look like 60A esc only for the crt.5.

Im really interested on 1/8 buggies . . . im currently running 1/10 with ezrun 60A + 6000KV for my buggy . . . so after reading around, i still need to ask since im getting really confused
. . . is my ezrun 60A esc sufficient to run an 1/8 buggy??? My guess is i cant run 6000KV with 3s lipo cuz itll be over its rated rpm . . . and 6000Kv with 2s would be too much for the weight of a 1/8 . . . so heat would be an issue, true? So a motor change would be done.

hi . . . well not bad actually considering the esc is so small, heat is slighlty on the warm side with the setting of my gearing n timing . . . have yet to tune it cuz just got my temp reader.
Btw its running on 2s only.

Ok guys, got a question for you. I picked up the ez-run 60amp with the 5.5t motor and currently have it in a Kyosho lazer zx-5. I have run a total of 4 packs through it. First pack it ran great. Second pack was good as well untill about 5 minutes into the run and it started stuttering BAD. I thought maybe the lipo cut-off was maybe coming on. So I hooked up the programer and made sure it was off. So to be safe I reset everything and re-did the radio setup. Ran another pack and it ran fine for the 5 minutes or so again. Dropped in another fresh pack to test and it started stuttering right away. Motor and esc has never gotten hot. Both have been only a tad warm to the touch. My setup is below. Am I missing something or what?
Car: Kyosho zx-5
Radio: Futaba 3pk with spektrum
Batts: 3700 GP, and IB 4200
Deans on the battery connection.
Motor hard wired with no bullets.

My 1/8th 80 amp esc took some modding to fit into my e-firestorm.
It is way smoother then my mamba max was & it has tons of power w/ the novak 4.5 I am using it with. I believe that the sensor kept the motor from topping out, but the truck still easily hit 40 mph.

Current I have the hobbywing 120A ESC as well as the hobbywing ezrun 35A ESC. I also have a CRT.5 and a 1/8 Matrix.
Here is my thoughts:
1) 120A ESC is too big for CRT.5. this esc is designed for 1/8 scale. also, the motor (2350kv) is designed to use 4S-6S. thus this combo will be overkilled for the CRT.5, but perfect for any 1/8 scale. The speed is very fast with a lot of low-end torque. even if you were able to fit the combo in a crt.5, it will flip everytime you trigger the throttle, since its so powerful.
2) 35A ESC is too weak for the CRT.5... you can try to match it with a 13T motor + 3S lipo. However, I wouldnt try 9T + 3S on CRT.5 since the CRT.5 is much heavier than a regular 4WD buggy/truggy. (its about 2kg compared to 1.5kg). even with this setup, the 35A + 13T may overheat. This 35A ESC is really designed to be used in 1/10 or 1/12 onroad, and 1/10 2WD offroad. (currently i have installed this in my RC10B4 and is a perfect fit in that buggy... the weight is only 1.2kg)
3) so... for the CRT.5 ... it is best to use a 60A or higher ESC with 2S/3S support. For 2S, run it with a 5500kv'ish motor and for 3S, run it with 3700kv'ish. If you can used an external BEC, its even better for the ESC. So for my current setup, I have a SPGT+7.5T@2S in my CRT.5. I can also try 13.5T@3S if my 7.5T gets too hot.
Hope all this helps.
