I just picked up a mini. Its a Velocity mono from minicatracing.com cool little boat, supposed to run mid 30's on 3s we'll see I guess. |
Linc did you get anywhere with the ThunderPower packs,still good?

The minicat boats are good, I know you will enjoy it. I have a 13" mirco from mhz and it runs great with a 4700 28 size motor and 2s lipo. I run a mamba 25, so I even have reverse! |
I hope to run her this weekend, need to find a better pond the one I run now is all full of weeds.

I guess all I really want to know is, is there any draw backs to going HV. I realize lower volt setups are tried and true and probably even a few buck$ less, but in an effort to put less stress on these cells wouldn't a High Voltage setup be the way to go? |
For lowering cell stress, yes, HV will reduce it a small amount, not much.
The system as a whole will be more reliable however (usually), because of less resistive heat losses; wires, esc, motor... |
So since I've got one of these kicking around
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHYK6&P=ML do you think it will cut it for the 10s setup if I add watercooling or just not enough? |
Hmm, that would be pushing the limits of that ESC pretty hard. I don't really know how Kontronik rates their controllers vs. realworld, but I would say a ~80amp continuous controller is what you need. But you never know, you could just try this one out for a while, go easy on it, check the temps and keep pushing it until you are satisfied. Water cooling system just might do it though.
|
I have one sitting in an e-Raptor converted heli that I'm not using.
I think I'll try it out on a small prop & watch the temps. |
yah, do that, cuz with water cooling, you tend to need a less rated current capacity compared to surface vehicles. Try it, and report back with temps, and the go from there.
