Default Novak ESC question

Can the GTB handle a 550 ballistic motor? I think the specs say they can handle down to a 3.5T 540, but no mention of 550s such as the ballistic. I'm thinking of a setup for my hyper10sc, and have a gtb to use if it'll work.

The GTBs work great on both the Ballistic 550s and the earlier HVs on 2S. Our new GTB2 (same motor limit and on-resistance of the original GTBs) will be an excellent choice in SCTs with our 550 motors down to 4.5 turn.

Thanks, I'm considering turning in this non working 7.5T I have to upgrade to a 5.5T or 6.5T 550.

We have some of the RMF HVs in our store, also.

Yes. The Kinetic 2S would be great on 2S.

Yes, as long as you operate the Kinetic 2S/Ballistic 550 4.5 on two lipos only.

Both the Kinetic 2S and the Ballistic 550 4.5T motor are rated 2S, only.

Some of the 550s are rated for more than 2S, check the drop-down wound stator options:

this is the reason for my post, some clown might take "two lipos" as a pair of 2S packs and make some big smoke.
