Hi tankers
I'm in the middle of fitting a TCB to a Torro hull King Tiger. It's very heavy with full metal lower hull and running gear.
I was looking at the standard power switch that came with it -- pretty much identical to the switch in the Heng Long stuff and it looks a bit on the light side to me. That switch is ok for the standard Heng Long/ Taigen MFU which wouldn't pull much more than 10 amps maybe 12 if you had metal tracks etc but with the TCB being able to run the seperate ESC which I am using (the Xcar X45 unit) you could be pulling maybe 20 - 25 amps with a heavy tank uphill etc.- ( the KT would be about 7 kg when finished).
I have an Elmod ECO board about a 2014 version before the Fusion series and that has a very heavy duty switch and that unit is rated to 20 amps so I think they may be on to something.
So any ideas out there ?
Also what about fusing the battery supply side ?
cheers
