ESC Problem?

[longboardmaker]

Hi everyone, I am building a longboard and I have already bought the following parts.

Motor - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__18128__Turnigy_Aerodrive_SK3_6364_245kv_Brushless_Outrunner_Motor.html


ESC - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__77144__HobbyKing_174_8482_X_Car_Beast_Series_ESC_1_8_Scale_120A.html

Battery - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__64795__Multistar_High_Capacity_6S_10000mAh_Multi_Rotor_Lipo_Pack_UK_Warehouse_.html


I haven't seen anyone else use the x-car escs however I thought that they were a clone of the fvt esc which people seem to like a lot. I am worried about the number of poles in the sk3 motor, i read else somewhere that the x-car esc(that I bought) was not designed to be used with a multi pole motor. I do not have any experience with motors or escs. I am hoping someone will be about to clear up my confusion on the topic. Thanks in advance

I run the 150a x-beast with a 63mm motor with about the same specs as the motor you have listed. They'll be fine together. I hope you also got the programming card, as this makes programming a breeze. I would suggest the LED program card. The LCD programming card has a lot of parameters and may get confusing.

Thank you for the reply, yes I did get the led programming card so should make it easy. Glad to hear someone else has had good luck with the beast series of escs. If you don't mind me asking, did you leave the programming stock for timing, punch, etc? Or is it worth playing around with it?

Definitely worth playing around with. The Hobbyking brand ESC's like to hesitate under medium to hard acceleration. The higher the timing, the less likely it is that the hesitation will happen. I've taken my hardest fall to date because of that. Punch control I usual leave at the lowest setting.
