Etti Race just came in....

I too am interested in how much "headroom" this board will give us. I have a couple coming to play with and will report any findings or fryings.

Bill, how will you determine this in a scientific method. Same boat, same setup, etc and then compare the results with an ESC with and one without the added cap protection, and the method of comparing results. Just currious, but way to go. We await your results

Who said anything about "scientific"??

I'll just run bigger and bigger props until something blows!!!

I just bust a gut on that answer. It should have said documented method

And I know how to do it too. I have a fired 2280, fried 3060, TWO fried 1527s and a a pair of toasted 40.160s to prove it too!!!

Documentation will be in the form of "Holy Crap!! I guess that prop WAS too big after all"!!!

I surely wish I had that type of funding? I blew a $55 HiModel and almost died...

Bill, as usual you have supplied the goods. My God, I would not want to be your banker.
Thanks for taking so many for the team.

Gentleman, Bill pushes the envelope on all his boats and also has an engineer's viewpoint on the process of what you can and can not do...WITHIN LIMITS.

Douggie

[Bill-SOCAL]

Limits?? We don't need no steenking limits!!!!

As far as my BBQ collection goes, perhaps you can see why I race gas boats now!!!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

IMPOPRTANT. I just realized they shipped me the 6-16 cell version, not the 6-20 cell. I will be trying to straighten this out asap.

[calcagno45]

Good catch Steven!!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Would have been a better catch if I did so before listing them for sale and selling a few!

[Steven Vaccaro]

I just found out that when I asked for the race 150 WITH bec, that the max voltage is only 5s/16 nimh cells. It was my mistake to overlook that spec.
I will have the race 150 6s/20nimh with NO bec in about 2 weeks.

double post

I'm confused. The one I have here has a label on the top that reads:

Input Voltage 6-30V
Current 150A
NiMH 6-20 Cells
LiPo 2-7 Cells
Resistance 0.001 ohms

The instruction sheet has a table across the first page that says this:

Type: ETTI 150-6-20
Voltage: 6-30V
Amp (A): 150
FET: 30
IR (ohms) : 0.001
NiMH Cells: 6-20
LiPO Cells: 2-7
BEC: NO
Size (mm): 95x50x13

Doesn't matter to me, I will be running only 4S, but the label is not 5S or 6S as Steven in noting.

So which one do I have??
