For those who have charged at high current and also discharge, what would you gestimate your lap times being reduced by? Do you notice more punch, top speed, both, etc?
I was looking some more at cheap chargers and
this came up. Can charge at 10A and they say it can report IR. Is Ir something to monitor these days w/ LIPOS? I'm certainly not going to spend $350 for a charger any time, not because I cannot afford it but because I cannot justify it knowing what I know about charging circuitry, voltage monitoring and design.
More on the ESCS, anyone have a comment on these 45A vs. 60A ESCS, what do these motors draw at peak/continuous and will I notice getting a 60A vs. a 45A?
Thanks

I don't really know what a 25.5 actually draws, but I can tell you that a Justock(either Legacy or XR10 version, I have one of each) will handle it just fine & you will NOT notice a difference from the more expensive ESC's. When I got my first Justock, I had been using an original Novak GTB(the early Spread Spectrum ones, could handle most ANY motor, had VERY low IR & good throttle feel, it's only issues were its size & weight) & was given a Justock(was a prize at a VTA/F1 event), & since in that event I had noticed a LOT of guys using it(& running very well with it) I decided it'd be worth a try. So by the next race at that track I had installed it & was AMAZED at how well it ran, NO difference in laptimes, no difference in throttle feel, & at the same time, it fit MUCH more easily in my car & shaved around 20 grams of weight as well. Now, I run Hobbywings in ALL of my cars, & have not regretted it one bit, I think they're the best value in ESC's, & I don't feel I'm giving up ANYTHING to anyone else I race with(aside from my driving, of course, you can't buy that still, unfortunately). My other Justock(the XR10) I'm using in a Mini with a 21.5 motor, & it's the same deal, when I built my mini, I didn't have my XR10 yet, so I used whatever ESC I had available, which happened to be the HW V3.1(that was their top of the line model before the XR10 Pro), & then when I could get ahold of the Justock, I got one & installed it, & again, I saw NO difference in throttle or brakes, nor in heat or laptimes, the XR10 Justock was all I needed in the mini. I'd predict that you will NOT be disappointed....
