Brushless Controller

I think i might look into that - you think the local PC repairs shop would be able to help me out here? I know it should be sweet with Mr C's approval - but never hurts to have 'extra insurance' hehehe
And just to be safe - better ask -lol- Should I attatch the heatsink to the bare bottom side of the controller? Leaving the sticker on top would be a good idea right? :)
(man, is it me, or is this thing huge?! -lol-)

I don't think a PC repair shop would want to mess with so many FETs! It's actually quite simple to put a heatsink on. The hardest part is figuring out which one would work best :L:.

It would be best to have 2 heatsinks and attach one to the top and one to the bottom. If you cut the heatshrink, you gotta take it off, and then you might as well have the label go with it.

That contoller is large! But, the Shulze 40.160 is about three times that size!

Yeah, that schulze is the size of spain... You can cover your entire truck with it..

My guess is, that when you use the HV-110 at about 35-40 volts, it will function without a problem. (if you use lets say a 500-750 rpm/V motor)

why no reverse in racing? i don't understand

[MetalMan]

Usually it is illegal.

Its ovious when u think about it. If u hit a wall, they dont want u to reverse cuz then, you might run into oncomming traffic! Cars behind u will slam into u while u reverse.

[squeeforever]

not so much ncazbn. there is also the fact that some wont have reverse and it gives some an unfair advantage. if you have reverse you wont have to wait for a turn marshal. if you dont you will.

so you watch until it's clear to back out right?
what am i missing here. is it that drivers can't back out properly for some unknown reason? it's not like they can't see what's behind them right?
how many licks does it take to get to the center of a brushless motor?

oh i see, thanks

[nbcaznmaster]

true, but there are tonsof OTHEr unfair advantages in racing. FOr example, them wabash rims. Y dont they ban that? Its unfair taht some ahs regular, while otehrs have those cut ones! Well, if im racing and i had reverse, i woudltn care if i hit some1 else, cuz it'll slow them down, and gimme a headstart.

[squeeforever]

whats your point nacazb?the wabash is a certain offset made specifially for the revo which are designed to not make it an inch wider like the velocitys. and there is no advantage to them. they are well reenforced which adds greatly to the weight. please dont talk about things you dont know about. why dont you complain about something that really is unfair like the fact that bigblocks and smallblocks run in the same class now?

So you think that this would work well on lets say.. 10s Lipo (30.8 cells) and a 14XL? That's a much better price than getting the 36120 for $450..

[coolhandcountry]

with a 14 xl you don't need the 36120. I would get the 36 95 but it is not much cheaper.

Small blocks and big blocks are very different. Small blocks ahve HIGHER RPM, while big blocks have more torque. Their advantages cancel eachother out.

I'd get the 36120 just because it's not too mcuh more expensive, but it has more possiblities for upgrading in the future.

As for the HV-110, if I use a 14XL, the amp draw would be ~50 or less, and with a controller that can handle 110 amps, that would be able to handle any of the large spikes that would occur in a truck.. right? How fast would a setup like that be though?
