Will i toast my fets?

Bananabrain · #1 07-19-2009, 03:33 PM

I was wondering if i were to run a 11/25 or 8/24 gearing on my car with a 6 cell & 2X2 Stacked fets & a 180 SE High Torque motor, would it toats my board or blow my fets? Because i can't afford to test it and have it fry.

Also i was running a 8/24 with the same set up except it was a 2X1 Stack and it fried my foward fet. So then i swaped boards.
Thanks

I won't recommend running the 11/24 but the 8/24 SHOULD be fine, as your running a 180 motor. Try removing the 6 cell since you have said you have fried a 2x1. Also check for anything that is binding.

Well currently im running a 11/23 with a 6 cell & the 180 motor & its not ecen getting warm. So i think i figured out my problem, it need a gearing setup for faster not so much as torque. Correct me if im wrong.

Well, if your running 12/23, then I don't really see how you could have fried it the first time with the 2x1, unless you soldered the FET to the reverse one. And running a high gearing with a 6 cell pushes it too. If that doesn't work out, drifter anyone ?

Well the first time with 2X1 it was 8/24 Gearing with the 6 cell & 180 motor, then it fried it. SO then i took my other board with 2X2 Stacked fets & put it on the car & geared it too 11/23 & now it runs fine. So im kinda confused on what your saying. lol

So are you saying that my current gear setup & battery's & motor will work fine? Or do i need to gear it differently?

Haha, sorry. I'm honestly not sure if it's safe or not anymore. The 180 motor shouldn't even be frying FETs ! If your running it now and it's okay, but before you ran it with 8/24 and it fried thats werid. And I'm now having a " WTF " moment with that.

8/24 and a 6 cell didn't fry me electronics, but I don't recommend doin it.

So your saying you recommend a lower gearing or higher gearing?
