Schulze for example has a good choice of controllers for every kind of application and you can't go wrong with the 40.160 and now they have a huge 300A controller ( http://www.schulze-elektronik-gmbh.de/fut-xxl-e.htm) and a value controller line ( http://www.schulze-elektronik-gmbh.de/prs22_d.htm). Schulze understand the market better then any other company out there and if a company is willing to risk who knows what with a monster like that, I would be following right behind them, but here in the USA. Even Jeti has a 300A controller, but it is only meant for the sky. Keep in my that the Thunder Power Performance Series Lithium's ( http://www.thunderpowerrc.com/html/h...rformance.html) are a bargain and if I can get 20 minutes out of 2200mAh in 6S imagine what 10S-12S 3700 or 4450mAh will do. It is a simple concept that a few people are finding difficulties understanding. |
I like using higher voltage because it reduces the amount of heat from high current draw and it allows the use of lower C rated batteries such as 10-15C Lipo's and really helps A123's, not to mention that I have always seemed to get better run times with higher voltage systems.
We don't have to image what you'll get from 12S 3700mAh or 4450mAh.
Setup properly, you should get over 33.6 minutes on the 3700's and over 40.45 min on the 4450mAh packs
