Thankyou, I understand it much more now. I think my problem before was I thought that the more money I throw at my car the better I will be, but when it comes down to it my driving skill is what will make the difference.
My motor at the moment is the exige speed passion sport jr tuned, 13.5t with the combo esc, here are some specs as per the manual:
Input Voltage: 6V - 14.8V DC
NiCd/NiMH 5-12 cell (6V - 14.4V)
Li-Po 2-5 cell (7.4V-14.8V)
Continuous Current: 40A
Max Current: 120A (10 sec)
BEC: 5V/2A
Drive Freq. : 8KHz
Dimensions: 40mm(L) x 28mm(W) x 13mm (H)
Weight: 44g
Recommended motor limits 13.5T or over sensored or sensor-less
brushless motor.
Runs both sensorless
brushless and sensored brushless motors (only in sensorless mode - it has no sensor cable)
Accepts NiCd/NiMH &
Lipo Batteries
Programmable Functions (program unit, sold seperatley)
Low Voltage cut-off protection: Speciffically for Lipo batteries
Programable fail safe: if radio signasl from reciever is lost the ESC will shut down. When signal returns ESC will return to normal.
Thermal Overload Protection: If ESC tempature exceeds the defauklt value, ESC will reduce the motor power gradually, untill the tempature returns to normal.
Input voltage overload protection
Start Protection: Protects the ESC and motor in case of a locked rotor
So If i were to buy, ie a x11 vector sphere combo 5.5t what kind of performance differences would I be seeing. Would there be much more power and much harder to control and would my parts such as the slipper and differentials wear out faster? I've seen the alluminium replacement parts that are much lighter and last much longer, I've also heard of a titanium screw that is included. At the moment I have some "much more" racing nimh 4500 mah saddlepacks would the new brushless motor knack them out faster, and would i get the same effect (knackering) if i had a lipo in?
Just checking if im right or not
