TurboTimmy 88 Posted July 28, 2018 I have one of those New Rain 480 ESCs from Ebay in my Grasshopper. When I run a Sport Tuned or a normal 540, it runs fine. I stuck in a brushed 15t ARRMA Mega Motor. It went like stink for a few minutes-then slowed down and eventually stopped, as if the battery was drained. After it sat for about 30-45 minutes, it fired right up again. Is this ESC overheating and shutting itself off? It has its own cooling fan, so I assumed it could handle a 15t motor. Otherwise, it is a good cheap ESC. Thanks for any advice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark_C 198 Posted July 28, 2018 I can't find a stated limit for the esc, but 15t is pretty low, I wouldn't be surprised if its too hot for it. Suggest a hobbywing 1060, they are cheap and will work down to 12t no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTimmy 88 Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks Mark C. I kinda figured that was too hot a motor for the New Rain, but I still had to try it. My next ESC is a HobbyWing 1060..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
