I have 30A ESCs right now, will that harm them or is it OK to turn them with the 30A ESCs?

Hey, DaneI have these motors and I am using Turnigy 30A ESCs and they work perfectly.

I'm not an expert on this, but I asked the same question before I bought 30a ESCs, and the supplier, who is an expert, said they will work fine. Likely, a 20a, he said, would work fine, but the 30a ESCs were about the same weight and price, so he suggested the extra capacity would be good insurance.

You will likely fry the esc. I am not as familiar with nimhs. I run lipos. Are you running in series or parallel?

No Daniel you use the same ESC...the wiring is different though so make sure you read the instructions carefully before starting. Also...DJI use a very high temp. Solder and its a real pain to resolder so what i did was cut the wires halfway and solder the new connections on to the cut wiring. It saved me the grief of messing up my ESC. Hope this helps you out bud.

You shouldn't have any problem using these wheels with 28s, especially with wire tires. As you may know, the rims are on the heavy side and not at all aero, but they are strong.

yes, you can, but I'd not recommend the multiplex setup. I'd recommend going on hobbyking and getting an ntm prop drive 35-36 910kv for $18 and a 50-60A ss series esc for about $12.

I can't tell you if the factory esc will take it but I put a castle creations sct combo in mine for 100 bucks and the truck handles it very well.I bought this truck just to put brushless in because of the all steel gears It def. needs a wheelie bar tho. I am trying to put a bigger pinion on it and the 48p pinions I have don't fit right, so I found Redcat racing pinions online, haven't tried them yet. I love this truck !! Have Fun !!

the flight time could possibly overheat the motors if you run them at close to full power for a long time. The motor should have a rating on it showing how much voltage and amps it draws, i would be more worried about your esc. But i would imagine that you should be fine because it is only a two cell.

Yes, the ESC and motor can run 3s batteries, it's almost a must that you run fans on both if you want them to last.

No, use your existing ones if undamaged. Order two of these about a year apart. one for each side. No problems running great!

If the diameters are correct, flipping wont be a problem i think, but to be sure please send an e-mail to company, mine is on the left.4.7 v8

It depends on which motor you are buying. The castle motor is 2200 kv and can handle 6s, my motor is 2150 from hobbyking and it only handles 4s or 12 nimh in series. This esc only handles 4s lipo or 12 nimh in series. I use 2s and 4s lipo at least 30c discharge rate and at least 4000 mah or two 6 cell nimh 5000 mah in series to run this bad boy. Great esc btw I have a 25 tooth pinion and 33 tooth spur and it flies in my revo 3.3 electric conversion, esc doesn't get hot.

That would be the best thing to do. Mine is on a dedicated 20A circuit. If you have a 20A circuit instead of a 15A and depending what else is on the circuit you'd probably be good.

yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on... » Read More yes you can ! also acording to the tech guys at castle you do not need a fan to cool the esc. they told me if they thought it needed one they would have provided one with the esc and motor! how ever i would say that is providing you are not using inproper gearing for the vehicle you are running. keep tabs on the esc temp. in case you are geared to hard for top speed. if the esc goes over 200 degrees then you will need to change gearing . also that combo is made for a vehicle 5 lbs or less. also consider the fact of 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive. four wheel drive will be more of a load on the electrics. « Show Less

No, it does not "charge" them for use in something else, It is a capacitor bank that acts as a single capacitor for stabilizing current going into the ESC... The capacitors are removable with a soldering iron but I'm not sure why your would want to do that, it would be cheaper to just buy lose capacitors specifically for your application...

If you're not sure the best thing to do is take off one of the old ones & measure it. If its around 40mm you're good to go. That's what I did with mine.

the stock battery that it comes with fits perfectly also an 8.4 and an 11.1 will fit without any mods done to it. And yes the esc could handle of a maximum of 11.1v battery. I would recommend the 11.1v 25c. Just as long as you keep the battery harness in it. Oh yea and it does cone with extra foam im guessing that its for any mods that is done to it.

Depends on the AC. Most of the newer ones have a low initial inrush power requirement but the older ones will pop the overload on the Generator. My thought would be to go to at least the 2700 or two of the 2100 in parallel
