ESC´s: SXX TC vs. SXX Competition

[muratti]

I read on the LRP homepage that for 4WD Offroad you should go for a SXX TC esc (which i did) and for 2WD you should take the SXX Competition. The SXX Competition hasn´t got an aluminium air cooling unit as the TC has so i am wondering why it should be better for 2WD Offroad as the TC??? Is it only because of the height? The SXX Competiton has no cooling at all and i am wondering if it doens´t get too hot...Please somebody help me :confused:

As Jimmy said, this section is for LRP cars not electrics ;)

Maybe it can be moved or closed, either way i'll still post an answer.

In a 2WD the motor only has to power the rear wheels. There is less power needed to power 2 wheels and less power lost in the drivetrain.
Also 2WD's usually use engines with more turns then 4WD's generating less current meaning less heat.

The blue outer shell of both the TC and comp also serves as a heatsink not just the visible heatsink on the TC spec.

You can use both in a 2WD. But why spend more €/$/£ then needed.

Thanks for your answer. I have posted the the thread in the ELECTRICS section as meant to be. I have another question, maybe you have a similar answer clear like this one for me :)
