Shouldnt be an issue. Try it and check the internal esc temp after a run. My mates 17.5 boosted car with high speed esc fan comes off at 49c after a 6 min run. I still think having a cooler operating esc is the better way to go

To me, it felt smoother and had better brakes than the LRP SXX. And by better, I mean stronger and more natural. The throttle response is butter like the Black Diamond. The BD's brakes are nonexistent, however.
The 1% increments on drag brake is really nice.
I threw -20% expo on my throttle and it made mod much, much easier. I tend to like to use a little bit of throttle to roll through corners, and mod was giving me too much. The expo really helped. I don't know if that's radio or ESC, but with this setup, the car feels like a 13.5 in the infield and a missile on the straight. I've tried this in the past when running mod with other ESC's and never liked how it felt. Personally, I think a lot of ESC's lack feel at the very tip of the trigger. It's probably why I've struggled with certain other ESC's popular in boosted racing.
I replaced the fan on the ESC with a "Seis" fan from Side Piece Racing plugged into the receiver. Unfortunately, my Hobbywing fan had a broken blade out of the package, and the lack of balance made it loud as all hell. You'll need some M2.5 screws for that fan. I got some 20mm long from McMaster Carr and cut off 2mm. The Seis fan seems to move more air than the stock one and is much quieter. It won't run of the ESC's fan header, though, due to its 6V limitation.

I'll check your latest setup before that

Dear Cobra.
I'd received my new V3 Blue version speedo and ' tested past few days in our club.
After a deepest test, I've got two problems (one very short and one a little more big).
The shortiest one is that the logo on the fun, flyed in the first battery. Yes, it's a very little thing, but for the fired up price of this speed, they can put a little bit quality glue with it.
The second one, if the shutoff from the radio.
When the speedo is cool, no problem with it, 6 second breaking and esc shutoff.
But, just after 8 minutes running, if I break 6 seconds, the v3 shutoff, and inmediatly, go on.
I I shuttoff with the button, the same problem. I must discontect the battery to shutoff the ESC.
When the speedo temperature go down, they breaking proccess to shutoff work ok, like the button to shutoff also.
Any ideas?
PD: brake epa travel on my sanwa m11x is 100, like throttle travel.
King regards.

Mine finally arrived...much more than I should be paying for something like this (shipping was very expensive to Canada as no one local carries it and then I got screwed with customs/taxes...I paid much more than I could get something similar from LRP for local...doesn't seem right but at least I'll be different than everyone else....haha)
Question: Do I need the caps? I'm assuming this is to prevent glitching but the manual makes no mention of this.
Kudos to Hobbywing on the manual generally...the design is nice with lots of info...I'd do a proper circuit diagram of the connections rather than a drawing like that but the fold out design is sweet.
The issues some are having with shorting the solder posts is, in my opinion, a design issue with the esc. There should be a non-conductive shroud between the posts and the metal of the esc or the posts need to be moved a bit further away...I think if people are careful it shouldn't be a problem however.
I would have liked to get the blue colour but CRC didn't order those in...the Hobbywing motor looks like it's constructed a bit on the cheap side compared to LRP motors (or others) but the price on the motor at least was pretty cheap.
Programmer is great.
Gotta get my 2WD buggy back together now to test this baby out...no time with 3 young kids...

Is motor sensor temperature logger compatible with other brands of motor nor hobbywing?
