Quark 125B
 

Would this be bad to run with my 10xl? I want to start upgarding for some lipo's. i know the controller can handle a lot, but i'm asking because if i'm not putting that much thru it, will it hurt it? 16 cell ib's is there such a thing as running tooo low of amps to a controller?
Thanks guys!

Nope, basically the less amps you run through it the better because there will be less heat, ect. The 125 is as good as it gets. That, with the 10XL would be great on 6S lipo.

that's what i figured but wanted to double check before i bought it! thanks squee. did you check out my body for my truck?

It won't hurt,it's kinder to the controller,volts is at it's limit though but that's ok.
I'd maybe take the MGM though,the LVC is manual set for cell count instead of auto detect like the Quark.So you know for sure you can plug in at any time and not have it detect too low a count and screw your lipos.Some of them like the lisaver frequently get it wrong.The one i've got detects a fully charged 3s as a 4s 'till you run it a few mins then unplug/plug back in.Does the same for 8,reads it as 9.

Which MGM would work well? thanks guys!

The 24120 but there kinda pricey. Yea, I saw your body. Looks good, but what kinda is it? Looks like CP 2.0 but for what?

The 16160 would work.
I'm not sure which would be best,the MGM's have a few little software niggles,my 24160 has this thing where if you're freewheeling and blip the throttle it brakes hard for a split second.basically it tries to bring the motor speed down to the speed it would be at the low throttle input.Setting the range of neutral zone high solves it but leaves deadband on the throttle.a one-way bearing solves it obviously.it has nothing to do with the drag brake or freewheel,they're both off and they're unuseable settings anyway(they brake hard when you lift off).
otherwise it's a good and reliable esc with excellent lvc,i like mine alot but i use it with a one-way and mechanical brakes.

Up to you.

Only thing though, is that the 16060 won't work for 6S LiPo.

Got it. I may go with quark, the less probs the better, i'm not the high tech yet! LOL. thanks guys. I may also get a new motor. i like my 10xl, but would like a little more rpms, any suggestions?

Squee: the body is a jammin CRT, fits good on the extended, had to mod the rear body mount though.

oh yeah:005: ,actually i was just thinking 16 cells.

well,all things considered i'd probably go with the quark,but just be aware when using an auto detect lvc. unless it shows how many cells it's detected when you plug in? if it does that it would be ideal.

That's cool. I'm running the 16's for awhile, but my thinking...piece by piece! LOL, budget is getting thinner and thinner! I'll start with the controller, then charger, balancer, then lipo's...Oh, new motor!

If you plan on going 6S LiPo soon, then I would stick with the 10XL. It's perfect for 6S but if your wanting something in the meantime for 16 cells, I would go for a 9XL or so.

Ok. I was thinking of getting a lehner motor, is that a bad idea?

A lehner motor is not a bad idea. Just have to get the right turn for you.

If i'm running 16 cells now but am going to move to 2 3s2p in series, what turn would i want?

Well the 1950 8t is great. If you like a little more run time. You could go with a 9t. The 8t is happy on 6s though. About the same kv as a 9xl.

What do you guys think of a 1920 10 turn? 16 cells or lipo?

I think it would be to small for a MT without heating up.

I would go 1930 before the 1920. A 1930 10t is pretty decent in a emaxx.

I was just looking at the price for the 1950/8, which is REALLY what i want, but man, the price is killer! :-( What are the basics like (lehner)?

The lehner xls are decent but I would go wander xl before that.

The basics are a nice quality but a little small for what you want unless you can keep the weight right down,an xl2400 on 4s is nice for a light maxx for example.A xl1600 could be good but might run hot.they can kick out some power though despite their size.

Here's my issues. I want more speed, that doesn't cost a million dollars, keep my temps down, and that's not so huge in weight(the motor). This is why i'm having such a hard time with this! I would love the 1950/8, but the price...the price, the price! Darn it!

Hmmm..well, the 1930/10 would be good. What do you think?

Well you have the next best thing in the 10xl,the 19series are very nice but more of a luxury item unless you're racing alot.

edit,yeah captain the 1930s are very capable of powering a light MT,i got a 1930/8,awesome little thing.

You can get a 1930/10 for $250+ and remember, you get what you pay for.

He's using a 1920/10 with a 7018 warrior and he says its almost too fast.

I think it was a long time ago. He's using old Integy stuff.

That's old school bl setup though,huge rpms.i've got that same motor,i run it in a 1700 gram truck on 3 or 4s.
But yeah the smaller 19series are mighty wee things.

I would just stick with the XL motor. It's about as good as it gets without spending $335.

I guess then my setup of 1920/8 w 2095 micro is considered old school, since I purchased it back in 2001
but the system does work good for me...

Who cares as long as it's dependable and works!
