Mamba Max and 8XL - not alot of Amps lol

[magudaman]

That does seem low. I have a similar setup running 5s2p A123 on my emaxx with a MM and 9xl motor. I am geared for about 34 mph but I see peaks of 75 amps. I was also running low start up power, lowest timing, ect. With a 8xl you should be seeing even higher!

You are using the DPR-100 right (100 amp version)? I know my watts up adds enough extra resistance through the extra connectors, wires, and shunt that I hit my LVC. To see the true max amps I have to drop that a little just to be safe (notice it later in the run).

I just saw in another thread that you are only running 1p so maybe with voltage drop you are only seeing around 50 amps. 2p might push you up to high but you will also have to carry all that weight.

clutches do a really good work at eliminating cogging and smooth-ening out current 'spikes'... with a 'conservative' pinion, you would see a bit higher temps and a lot higher current peaks...

just my 0.02...

I could run 2p as I've got 2 5S packs. Problem is, with 2 packs the revo is PHAT lol.

Also, its way unbalanced in the air with almost .5kg of batteries on one side lol.

I guess I'm just trying to avoid running 5s2p to keep the weight off, but I guess I will run 2p if I have to. I've tried a run with 5s2p and there was only a marginal increase in amp draw, which I put down to the motor having to push the extra weight around.

I'm using the DPRII-150, 150 amp version.
