Question re: Aquastar 90 amp ESC


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
Just finished setting this up in my sv27 and programming it using the pistol. It took a little while to interpret the less than ideal instructions posted online at HK.

I had initially left all of the settings at factory default but have since questioned leaving the factory default lvc. It is set to 6.0 volts which I am assuming is based on a single 2s lipo.

Since I am running 2, 2s packs in series it seems to me that the 6 volt cut off would be far too low for the combined packs and I would end up over dischargng them since their combined nominal voltage would be 14.8 volts. I'd probably select a 12 volt cut off for the packs since a 6 volt cutoff would pretty much destroy them.

Anyone familiar enough with setting up these ESC's to comment? I want to make sure I have it right before I run it this weekend.

Thanks for reading this.

I posted first on RCG, but I'll repeat it here as well!

Typically you want 3.1v / cell as the lowest, but some people set it as high as 3.4v / cell.

The ESC is a 2s-6s and the lowest cut off is 6 volts so I am assuming that it is based on a 2s set up or 3 volts per cell. So for 4 cells I would select 12 volts as my low volatge cutoff for the packs.
