I'll only be running 4s.
SMC 6700mah 90c
7955tg 6.0V
Considering:
Mamba Monster 2/2200kv Castle
HW Quicrun 150a/2000kv
HW Max 8/2200kv
Open to any and all options but I don't want to drop $300 on a new setup. ~$250ish after any discounts would be ideal.
I've only owned Castle ESCs but recently got a Quicrun 150a BL ESC and the LVC is touchy. I've read a lot about Hobbywing ESC having touchy LVC and then the MAX8 only has 3 settings for LVC(low, medium, high).
I don't want to have issues with LVC, I don't want it hitting LVC early. Never had an issue with my Castle ESCs with the LVC set at 3.5v per cell. With the Hobbywing set to 3.4v per cell it cuts off closer to 3.85v per cell. Castle ESC seems to be affected less by voltage sag.
I've got every other piece to this build I need except a motor and ESC.
Don't even consider the Monster 2 anymore now that they released the Monster X.
That being said, if I had to chose a pure bashing setup, it'd be the Mamba Monster X with their 2200kv motor. All waterproof, and still comes with the possibility of going fully sensored in the future.
