Hi all.

New to the forum so wold like to say hello,


Im currently running a bl cage, and using 4s lipo the current esc on the car is a hobbywing 80a.which goes quite well.

Im thinking of getting a 6s lipo would i need to change the esc to a 150a to use with that kind of lipo

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

All the HW 80a ESC's I'm familiar with are rated to a max of 4s so yes, you would need a new ESC to run 6s.

thanks

would you recommend a esc for 6s lipo

If you're happy with your HobbyWing, there's no good reason to switch brands, especially if you already have the HW programmer.

thanks

im just wondering if the standard motor will be able to cope with 6s lipo

What car/motor are you running? All motors have limits on how fast they can spin before they let go.

Hi

sorry for late replying,

the car is a bl cage

just ordered Turnigy Trackstar 150A GenII esc

the motor is a 2370kv not sure if it will be up to it

2370kv on a 6s setup? That's insane. Usually most run 1400-1550 on 6s. You want to keep the end value around 30k=volts x KV
Unless you are just bashing then I get the over powered beast

thanks esc came today set up with stock motor running well shredding the tyres

motor seems to get very hot so looking for a better motor what would you recommend would the 1 below be up to the job or would i need a better one

thanks all

Andy
