Ratatoskr Build Diary. (Featherweight)

[Outlaw]

I think I may have goofed up...

So the Sabertooth ESC I got is a 12 amp ESC with a BEC built in... and I was aiming for 30 amps with the fuses I have... something tells me that isn't going to work... Am I right in assuming that it won't work? Because if so, I may need to splash out on another ESC... Which will no doubt p*ss my mother off.

you will need a fuse rated lower than the max the esc requires otherwise the esc will save the fuse from blowing up.

the 12amp may be a little too low for this sport, take a look at the featherTwo by Rory - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...X9DFu5AJk/edit - £60ish
otherwise its the tz85a for long term use £65ea programmed or £35ea unprogrammed which you could do yourself, or someone could for you?

you could save the sabertooth for a beetle or sell on?

Other people may be able to offer advice on esc bits, but i do think sadly the 12amp esc is too low.
