But my SCT motors vary from 3600 to 5100kv. I don't see why it wouldn't work since all that should matter is the amperage/current pulled by the motor, and at 150A this should have more than enough @ 2S, but maybe there's something I'm not taking into account. I'm not sure why the ESC would care about the kv itself, especially since in sensorless mode it wouldn't even know what kv the motor is currently at, it'd be all about V/A/W. So, anyone using one with such motors to know for sure?
Aside from being a spare it'd make a nice to have if I ever get a 1:8 buggy, but since I don't know if that's gonna happen any time soon, it'd have to be usable with the SCTs too, otherwise might just as well get a 120A Gen2 (which I already have in my SC5M) I guess. Too bad that one isn't on sale at the moment (and is out of stock anyway). The Turbo V2 is, but that'd mean getting yet another program card, making it almost as expensive as the Gen2, not to mention I have quite enough program cards to juggle around as it is.
That ESC will work fine with most motors on 2S, so long as long as you aren't pulling more than 150 amps constantly. Check the specs of the motor, but considering this ESC will easily handle 4S a 3000kv motor 2S will be no problem.
