I notice the schottky diode was really hot on 3S and when if finally blew, it took out the esc the moment I released the throttle. At that point the esc copped all the reverse current and fried. I looked them up and they're a 1.5KE10CA which is only rated for forward voltage of 8.55V. Using a higher rated diode will reduce efficiency but I think the stock one might just manage with some kind of heat sink. You wanna keep an eye on that diode. if it blows you can still save the esc by disconnecting a motor lead before letting go of the trigger. Not sure but maybe throttling back really slow will minimise reverse current enough to not destroy the esc. BTW, It would pay to also remove the cover from the esc and direct a fan onto it. The extra cooling will certainly make it more reliably handle 3S.
Thanks for watching everyone! please subscribe and click the bell. Lots of great videos will come!! 👊💥

Thank you for sharing your experiences! 😄👍
Thanks
I have smoked 2 Stock ESCs on my 144001 with a 3s 35C battery, so I hope your ESC will last on 3s. Awaiting to see the speed run comparison with GPS 👍
Thanks so far it holds 😅 but i do short runs and let it cool down 👍 hopefully tomorrow i have time to do some runs
Great speed bud, the motor is stock?
Thank you yes complete stock electronics and motor!
Bro can you explain the diffrence between 2s battery and 3s battery
Please reply
reaaly good car the wltoys 144001 is. did you smoke the esc with the 3s?
Haha thanks. No not yet 😜 keeping the 3s runs short!
Is it oky to use it on this car?
