What ESC are you running? If you're using an MMM, then don't worry too much about it as it's splash-proof (has a conformal coating over all the innards). Castle have said themselves that's it's...

I imagine the "voltage" that you're adjusting will be the charger's "peak cut-off", and not the nominal voltage of the pack as all LiPo cells are 3.7V at rest. You might want to set the cut-off lower...

No prob, Tyson.:)

Don't bother with the Maplin supplies; they're ok for what they are, but they're old designs and have low outputs for their large size. Even their biggest one is only rated to 7A...

Switch mode, without a question. Much, MUCH more efficient and probably more reliable too, as long as it's decent quality. What particular PSUs are you looking at?

This certainly doesn't sound right. Getting hot is expected, but it should never keep switching on and off. What voltage of pack are you charging (6 cells I assume)? It seems to be acting like you're...

That's odd; it should show up as a firmware version in CastleLink. If you look in the right-most tab (or second from right, I can't remember exactly) then it should give you a list of available...

Sorry, I got my firmware version numbers a bit mixed up lol. 1.17 was the latest version that's listed on the Mamba Max page, but 1.20 is the very latest release. It was actually originally meant for...

Good point, I'd not thought about the Redlines (and the Plasma). Last I heard, the Tekin Redlines were being considered by the BRCA but I don't know if they're actually legal (I'm not a racer...

Don't worry, that's perfectly normal. Many chargers do that while charging Nickel cells, so that they can monitor the pack voltage under no-load conditions. :)

To be fair, charging at 4.5A *probably* wouldn't represent a problem. And of course it depends on the quality of the pack used as well, but there's a reason why cell manufacturers have labels warning...

It's best to stick with 4A in this case...don't go with 4.5 (sorry Mark Christopher). It's risky, and potentially dangerous to do with any pack with is only rated for a 1C charge (which is most of...

I used to have one of those LRP dischargers years ago, but they're not that useful IMO. They have no voltage cutoff built-in that I could tell, so it's really guesswork as to how long you should...

Any sensorless ESC will run both sensored and sensorless motors; it'll just run a sensored motor as if it's sensorless, as it won't use the sensor lead. The Losi Xcelorin, Castle Mamba Max, Tekin R1...

I don't think you've destroyed anything...certainly not your motors, anyway (pretty much the only way to fry a brushless motor, other than by factory defect, is to overheat it).

The cap is there to smooth-out the voltage that the ESC is getting from the battery. When a battery is under load, the voltage it supplies will "ripple", and this can cause the driver FETs in an ESC...
