Stock ESC burned up

[Brushless55]

It's easy with the card. http://www.horizonhobby.com/ProdInfo...ing_Module.pdf

Also set the motor timing to "HIGH" with the stock motor and make sure throttle curve is "LINEAR"

Yup you can run 5s. I been doing it for a while. Dis-able the bec and run a rx pack and change all the bullets over to 5.5mm or higher (stock 3.5mm & deans won't handle it)

Awesome thank your for the link
I wonder if this card will work on a SV27 esc?

how is this done by the way?



you can run 5s on the stock esc

You can run 5s with the bec disabled..But from my experience I would not do it..Just sell the stock esc and then get the Sk180 esc..I will almost grantee you will eventually get one anyway..I tried 5s on the stock esc and went up in smoke the first time I tried..This is why Im giving you this advise..Also the SK180 esc is Wayyyyyyyy smoother than the stock esc..Youll love it..

I think you overpropped on yours. As long as you keep the prop in the 42mm and lower range on 5s you shouldn't have a issue. I ran good on 5s with a x642... A grim 42x55 on 5s would be blast though. The seaking is smoother though especially on the low rpm side...

Yeah I did..I used a m445..but there are guys here using that prop on 5s without any probs...I do agree with you Diesel but I would still recommend a 180..I wish I would have listened when I was wanting to go 5s..Then the 180 would have only cost me like 50 bucks..For what its worth, just my 2 cents..

I ran an m445 on 5s with my stock esc. But i agree with everyone else. try to sell that one and pick up a 120 amp speedo. I have the t120 from HK and it works great.

If your esc burnt up under normal conditions i can't see Horizon not replacing it. I have had nothing but great experiences with their customer support.

Same here.
And thanks for all of the help guys. who sells the SK180? and will the stock motor handle it? I'm wanting to maybe run 2 3-cell lipos in series just like it's set up now. so that is essentially a 6-cell battery.

Ohh yeah the SK180 will work great with the stock motor..Thats what I use and the esc runs slightly above cold on 5s..The motor runs about 100 deg..

thanks!

I do agree the seaking esc's have smoother throttle response and obviously the 120 and 180 can handle more amps and volts, but myself I don't mine the stock PB esc really at all. I have had 3 different motors on it (Stock, PB1800kv Stiletto motor and currently a CC1800kv outrunner) and it's works like a charm. I also logged amps into the 70s on it and 60amps constant on the stock 45amp esc. It's a very tough esc!

[Brushless55]

how about the stock MG esc and motor in a Mean Machine on 5s?
maybe with a X440/3
