Default Technical question

How many amps are their in a 8.4 volt battery before it gets to the speed control and does the speed control amplify that because my speed controls maximum current is 128 amps I dont think that 7 1.2 volt batterys have enough amps? so how does that and the speed control work a mystery ?

Current equivalents 1000mA = 1amp
1000mAh = 1Ah = 60 amp minutes

Thank You

Default RE: Technical question

first of all what is the capacity of the battery? look for 'mah' when the speed control says 128 amps, that is how much current can be drawn through it befor it over heats and breaks. it is not saying that that is how much power that it uses. the motor uses the current but the esc regulates it. if the motor draws too much current the esc will over heat and be ruined.
