I have a Senton Mega converted to a BLX and first went with a 3650 3900kv motor with a 60a esc combo which I still have but later put in a road car.
So I went up to a 3660 4200kv motor with an 80a esc.
I was having very little to no issues with the first combo but I couldn't wheelie or hit 50mph.
The second combo stripped the mega pinion and rear diff so I switched up to the BLX setup for those items which changed gearing.
So now I was having more frequent thermal limp mode sessions so I decided to get a 120a esc. Burned it up, like desoldered batt connectors, purple smoke and all.
Replaced it with the same esc and I'm thinking it's going thermal (blinking light) but it hasn't measured over 100 degrees after a run and while blinking.
This led me to look at the mfg stated parameters for their escs and found between the 60a, 80a, 120a, 150a, each one recommends less than 4000kv, 3000kv, 2000kv etc. respectively.
I have a 3500kv motor coming tomorrow and was going to order a different brand 120a esc but should I just stick with the 60a? The recommended kv is around 3500-4000 for that one.
Sorry for the long read but I just want to run on 3s (5200mah 80c) and be able to wheelie on demand and run hard without having to keep waiting for the thermal shutdown to subside.
What do I do?
