Getting intimate with the Feigao 580L (and MetalMan's hands)

Okay, geared down to a 12t pinion, but can't say temps were any better. The ESC may have been cooler (~110-120 deg) but the motor felt closer to 170 deg. Then again, I was also driving the CRAP out of the XLB 'cuz the Eage Tree was attached

HUGE power is all I can say. I am totally hooked to HV, and these Zippy Rhino 3700mah 20C cells are incredible. Not to mention that this Medusa/HV-110 combo is just about the smoothest setup I have ever driven!

Now for the data. I hooked up the Micro Power recorder to the 4s battery, so any voltage/wattage numbers you see, multiply them by 2.5 (the other battery is 6s for a total of 10s). I left the graph large so you can see the numbers better:



Almost 1700watts peak out of a 4s 3700mah 20C battery! Now, multiply that by 2.5: can you say 4200watts? Uhh, that's ~5.5 HP, no? The average peak was about 1000watts x 2.5 = 2500 watts, a bit over 3HP. Average amp draw (including the rest periods) was 16amps.
