Im looking to power a Castle 3800 4 pole motor and wondering if I can get away with the 80 amp XErun ESC (blue case) or do I need the 150amp? Ive never measured an ESC by the amps it can handle, I have always purchased motor/ESC combos based on manufacture specs. Not sure what kind of amps id need to run this motor. Id also like to be able to power the 2400KV castle motor with it once and a while.

Any help here would be great.

Im running a 4 pole 3800kv castle on my 60 amp EZrun esc and it works awesome....These ESC's are under-rated IMO

Awesome... thanks guys. I cant imagine what youd need the 150 amp ESC for then... maybe a 1/5 conversion or something?

1/8 to 1/5

hi recently got a 10.5 xerun combo that has black 60a esc , when setting throttle trim pressing the button on the switch the thing just beeps and flashes red light . in the manual it says this is a voltage issue . i ran the car anyway and it ran fine but is hard to engage reverse . has anyone had this happen or know what i'm doing wrong . thanks

I am have my 60A cutout while running my car. Motor will stop, ESC LED will flash green after a few moments, it will run again. Even if the battery is freshly charged. The ESC and the motor are not getting hot. Any ideas?

The reverse is abit slower, try adjusting the trim

Yes you can, but i will suggest 120amp xerun for 1/10 is better. Smaller, lighter n meant for 1/10 cars.

11.1V 4000MaH & 4400Mah Low Voltage Cutout 3.2V. I have used different brands.

I think 3s is too much for the esc, check the temp can't be over 80 degree. Try 2s

No it's fine just don't wet it too much, u may jam the bearing.

Just clean it after use.
