Wanted: Brushless Sensored ESC..?

[sprintdrifter]

Ok so i currently run the EzRun 13t system, and i'm buying a Novak 10.5t system with the SS+ ESC, now this doesn't have lipo cut off so i was thinking either run it with out lipo cut off and as soon as i notice a difference in the battery stop but also going to get a Novak little LED Voltage reader, is this safe?

If not i was thinking of running it with my EzRun 35A ESC. In the instructions it says that it can handle upto a 9t motor on-road, but the ESC is sensorless so im thinking the Novak 10.5t SS Motor won't work with it because the motor is sensored.

So i'm thinking i will need a new ESC if it's not going to be safe enough with the SS+ ESC.

A sensored motor will work with a sensorless ESC. However a sensored ESC wont work with a Sensorless motor. The only problem with sensorless is that it isnt as smooth as sensored as the esc is having to "guess" the rotor position and speed etc.

As for Lipo cutoff it depends on what you are running. If you are just racing for 5 minutes with an average capacity lipo then you really dont need to worry about Lipo cutoff.

just looked at the spec chart for novak esc and all brushless have lipo cutoff.

Okay, the Novak Super Sport Plus and SS5800 has been working great the past year and a half that I've had it, but I've sold all my Ni-MH batteries and have gone totally LiPo. What are my options? I tried installing a LiPo low-voltage cutoff unit (the Novak SmartStop 2s) and that did work well along with the SS+ and SS5800 combo, but it adds lots of wires to my cars which are already very messy, and is a hassle to move around. The better solution was to get an ESC that had the low-voltage cutoff as a built-in feature...

^ That says it don't? :S

Well i'll be using it mainly for drifting tbh, might do abit of racing but i don't think my Pro-D will handle too good! I've decided to just run the new system and get a little Novak LED Voltage checker and check before each time i go out on the track.

thanks for your help guys
