Traxxas Titan

I accept that offer. 100 percent.

You still settle on 120 amps max ?
I'd like for you to predict a specific number if possible to make if fair for both of us.

I say it'll be 80amps max

[BondoBrushless]

I'd be willing to bet it is much better than 80A, but we will probably never really know. Hell they say the VXL system is like 300A or something stupid like that and we know thats not probably true. The reason I think its better than 80A is I am betting/hoping they are going to also offer a version of this esc/motor for the Erevo BL and Emaxx BL at some point and do away with the Castle stuff. Kinda like they did back in the day with Novak until they came up with the EVX. I don't think their situation with Castle is really ideal for either company.

The 1/16 vxl ESC is rated for 30amps
The 1/10 vxl ESC is rated for 70amps, and that piece of shiz will pop at 40amps mainly due to the so-so efficentcy of the VXL motor.

I agree that the TRX/Castle merger is good and bad for both companys.
Castle sells more units but they have to warrantee more units becuase half the folks that buy a TRX with the Monster in it burn it up because the morons can't/refuse to read the manual. Over gearing with twin 7.2 NiMH packs will pop any ESC if run with reckless abandon.

My 2 cents

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXXWM5&P=ML According to that its 200A continuous....where did you find the 70A? That sounds more realistic.

To me it doesn't seem to be the best sense to develop a whole new motor and esc if you aren't going to put some form of them in something else, another boat, a car, whatever... For the most part thats not how Traxxas operates. They appear to like to use similar components all over the place.

It would make sense to make the esc capable of running a car and then they can go all in house with their stuff and get rid of most of their warranty issues(which is people running the MMM in wet conditions)

An 80 amp esc on a 6s 36" boat is doubtful to me. I wouldn't even try to guess what the rating actually is, but I'm assuming they'd need at least a 120 for it to be reliable. And I'm sure they did a lotof testing!

My 2 cents

VXL-3 (200A cont.) the VXL motor is rated at 65A cont. and over 100A burst

VXL-3m (52A cont.)

http://www.traxxas.com/products/accessories/trx_accessories_vxl3m.htm

I had a VXL-3 in my Revo and never had an issue with the esc
and the VXL motor is a beast!

[Rumdog]

The VXL in my slash took one hell of a beating, that's for sure. Never an issue, and I over geared the hell out of it on 3s.

[Brushless55]

my guess is 120A cont on this new esc

LOL
TRX smoke up the @sshole
The Castle Mamba Monster is not rated that high and we all know it's 5 times the ESC the VXL will ever be.

You still haven't said what your max amp guess of the TRX Titan ESC is ?

Sounds like you have know idea how to run brushless...
Take a look at post #112

[BondoBrushless]

Just wanted to solidify and make sure thats your final number Bro .

I sent a email to TRX this AM asking about the Max Amp rating on the ESC, when I receive a return email I'll surely post. And Yes, even if I'm wrong.

BTW, "Know" idea ??

Oh wait, what's the bet
but yah, I think 120A is the numba
but I think my number is more of a constant amp rating than max

[arrowskartax9]

This boat looks like the Outerlimits P1 Powerboat.

My Bad, My 80 Amp guess is constant also.
Probably what led to some confusion. DOH.
