Thread: Futaba MC230CR ESC can't handle 8 cells?

    Default Futaba MC230CR ESC can't handle 8 cells?

    As per an earlier post of mine, I'm getting some sort of issue where whenever I steer, my throttle gets affected. According to my LHS, it's a side effect due to the fact that the Futaba 230 CR ESC not being able to handle the 8 cell 9.6V pack that I have in the car...

    However, based on this forum, seems like more than one person has ran 9.6V with this particular controller. Is it just not meant to handle this much juice, or do I just have a defective ESC?

    If the Futaba can't handle 8 cells, which ESC would you suggest I switch to?

    Thanks in advance...

    I ran one without issues for the longest time but know it is very, very slow on 8 cells and glitches like crazy. I would recommend the GM V4R esc because it handles up to 12 cells I believe and could handle any motor that fits into your half8.
