Title: Baja Endurance races in the Europe! Post by: Divyam on May 13, 2011, 04:54:50 PM Would make for a great weekend!
Too bad you can't do this with electrics :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsymdxS5R7U&feature=relmfu Title: Re: Baja Endurance races in the Europe! Post by: iamahuman on May 13, 2011, 05:00:29 PM This stuff is awesome.I had downloaded the coverage of one of these.(24 hours compressed into one).
Its actually possible with electrics.Get 4 or 5(6000 mah) 5C charge capable lipos.Get an iCharger 306B and charge them at 5C(around 20 mins or so for a charge).Should make for some fun racing.But expensive racing as well. :D PS:Possible with 1/10 scale packs.Not sure if its really feasible with 4s packs.They would need more power.Maybe an iCharger 1010B or 2 of them :D Title: Re: Baja Endurance races in the Europe! Post by: Divyam on May 13, 2011, 05:48:55 PM Even with a tower cooler for PC's, I don't think you could keep motor and ESC temps down :D
Or, just use 6-7 Motor/ESC combos :D Title: Re: Baja Endurance races in the Europe! Post by: rajathv8 on May 13, 2011, 06:05:59 PM Charging and discharging batteries repeatedly without allowing sufficient cooling between charge-recgarge cycle can kill the lipo.
Rather than endurance, a race to see how far you can go on a "single lipo charge of specific capacity" will be nice. Will help improve power management skills/equipment, develope weight reduction techniques etc etc. :) Sounds so nerdy :D Title: Re: Baja Endurance races in the Europe!
