Sorry guys, what are we talking about? New esc? I’m making two masts, one with direct drive 100kv and the other with a hiorth setup, 500kv, 5:1. Battery is 12s 42,5ah.
Does the esc have a shunt that enables current limiting? If so I would be up for a test.
Yes, 70A should be easy for the ARC. You can monitor drive temperature in the windows app. Please see below on specs for rated current vs provided heatsinking.
I am about to order an ARC, but would like some more info on cooling and current capabilities too.
Could you elaborate a bit more on the cooling to current relation? Especially the point " Continuous current when bolted to a typical EV aluminum chassis: 100-150A" seems interesting if I understand it correctly. How exactly would a cooling setup capable of that continuous current look like? Just like bolting it to a metal plate? Therefore using a small aluminum heatsink roughly a few centimeters larger then the ARC itself with air cooling by headwind should be at least as good?
