What are the 1 2 3 s differances?

 

[slowngreen]

I've been running 4s for like a year which is 14.8 volts instead of 11.1, big power difference.

What are the 1 2 3 s differances?

The 1 2 3 4s refers to the number of Lipo cells in a Lipo battery pack, each cell is 3.7volts, so if you go up or down a cell on a Lipo battery it is a much more dramatic change then going up or down a cell on a NiMh battery that is only 1.2volts per cell.

Posted this in my 2011 painting thread in the paint forum but I better update this build thread too.


New lid.

What electronic/motor setup are you running? External BEC? I need some ideas if I can sell my shafty

 

[slowngreen]

At this time I am running the following...

Dual HH BR-xl esc's.
CC BEC
Hitec 7950 at 7.4v
Team Brood handwound 45t motors
Futaba rx
Futaba 4pk
I was running 1000mah 4s packs but am running 1000mah Gen 25c 3s packs now.

I run my 3s and get like 15mins and thats barely movin, can the bec drain packs fast? I dont understand it.

 

[slowngreen]

I'm pulling way more power than you I'm sure with running more volts to my servo as well as dual escs/motors and I average 30-45 minutes on 1000's and I am a wheel speed guy so I do alot of spinning and throttle blurps. What charger do you use.

 

[HPI-Killer]

hobby king eco 8, I havent programmed my bec either if that matters

 

[slowngreen]

Shouldnt make a difference. I'm not sure what might be going on unless your pack is false peaking and making it think it charged.

Lol dandy, no idea what to do now, never heard a I'm not sure from ya lol. I ran the same electronics besides the motor on my scaler and got almost 3.5 hours of run time

It could be that your crawler is packing around a heavier load then your scaler was, and you are also putting more of a load on things when you are crawling then doing trail runs with a scaler I would think, just a couple ideas, you might also like Lloyd said be getting a false peak, maybe see if a buddy has a charger you could use to charge a pack, do you have more then one pack? And is the same way on all of your batteries?

I fried my other pack, I also have only ever done 2 crawl locations & doing the same lines with both, its really frustrating, even RCC is lost, as am I...

 

[slowngreen]

Nothing exciting but made a new batt mount outta delrin.

 

[abadk9420]

So are you going to be running a smaller battery now? doesn't seem like there is a lotta room there...

 

[slowngreen]

Same GEN 1000 3s 25c's, they fit fine.

 

[abadk9420]

Yeah I guess they are a little smaller then the 1300 packs I run, i just hope I don't have to buy new batteries for my XR10.

 

[slowngreen]

If you do, I'll link you to what I'm running.

 

[slowngreen]

Been sick for the last few days and hella bored in bed today so I made a new electronics tray outta delrin to get rid of the lexan one I've been using...

 

[abadk9420]

looks good Lloyd, do you have a view from the top, also how did you attach to the skid, to sided tape or a couple of small screws?

Can you make me one for my rig, LOL!!!!
