(Possible) New Controller
I have a question. On my Feigao 6s it says it draws 108 Amps. Is that constant or at full throttle? Would it be neccessary to run a controller of handling the full 108 amps continous or at a burst?
Any Comments aprreciated. I have now decided to get a WATER-PROOF Speed Controller, I was looking at the Barricuda-125 or the Barricuda-80. I know these are boat controllers but would they work? If not does anyone know of a water-proof car/truck controller. Also, Any suggestions comments welcome thank you. |
The MGM Compro RC Car controllers come with a waterproof option, so you go for that. I wouldn't submerge it in water, but it'll do. That is probably 108 amps burst, so a MGM 80 should probably cover it, correct me if I am wrong guys. Personally I like to have some insurance, so I'd probably run a 120 amp controller:M:

My Mtroniks Pro controller handled it fine, that was reted to 80 amps constant or thereabouts. Its fully sealed & waterproof as well as being very cheap ($160) for a car controller.
I also have a Mtroniks Truck which runs completely cool with my 6s, but it does have a massive heatsink on the bottom so it should do!! (also waterproof, only $185). Personally I would recommend against a boat/plane controller, or the MGM's if you want waterproof, as they're pretty exposed. |
Your batteries would probably burn out before they could put out 80 amps continuous.

The amp rating on a motor doesn't really mean anything. It doesn't stand for continuous or burst, but is just a number that is assaigned to the motor.
IB3800s can easily provide 70amps continuous, as I have seen in an ongoing life cycle test in which a cell is charged at 6amps and continuously discharged at 70amps. So far it is at 16 cycles. |
A 9920 would cover it too.
Metalman; I've heard those IB3800's are able to deliver 250A peaks! (i don't want to know their voltage though) I was told by maxamps. |
