Compro 22418

jhautz,

I don't have an eagletree, but I can say that I'm running Neu 5S 4100mAh 30C packs. Voltage drop should not be a problem, unless the packs aren't as good as Neu claims.

The temp on my esc during programming gets to over 130*F. It's usually cooler than that when I'm running it.

This is my third Compro and all three gave me trouble. I'm not crazy about them, but they are the most robust that you can get right now.

I would disable the low voltage cut off, but that also disables the over current protection too. I'm running my 22418 in a 7.5lb buggy that I've been drag racing with a Neu 1515/1.5d. What do you think are the chances that I'd fry the controller?

Another option if you dont mind running with no LVC is you could run in NiMH mode and you would still have your overcurrent safety. But in reality.... If you over current the 22418 I think you will be breaking other things in the drivetrain. 4100mah 30C/50C lipos are only good for 205 Amps burst anyway. So you would toast the lipos beofre the MGM.

I think you are safe. The 22418 is for sure killing a fly w/ a sledgehammer in any normal application. I can pound the heck out of my 16018 and 16024 never have hit the current limit as far as I know. Besides that the 224 is supposed to be constant, burst would be even higher but I'm not sure what it is.

How are the 30C lipos? I was considering getting a pack to test, but in all honesty, my 20c and 25c packs are holding voltage just fine. Its the MGM that has the problem IMO.

Have you seen the cutting out on any of your other MGMs? Just curious cuz Ive seen it on both of mine.

I think my 16018 lvc cuts in too early as well. Ive got a eagle tree on the way to verify, but i was thinking of running nimh mode and getting an external lvc if it turns out to be the controller. I still dont know how you guys are getting the controller to link up to the pc without that additional cable. My usbcom will not link up to the controller! :(

do you have battery connected to the controller? it does not work with just USB power

and turn on the switch

Yup.. Got my 4s lipo plugged in and the switch on. receiver plug plugged in to com pro the right way. Still nothing using the software dl'ed from the website.

you could also try modifing the communication ports under the setup.
