PF IR-receiver limits

[tl8]

Application for XL is powering a heavy vehicle.

Can you provide theoretical difference between 1XL-1port-1BB with 2XL's-1port-1BB, regarding motor performance on a heavy model?

Assuming that 111 is at 100% power @ 550mA (Which it may not be but we are after a ratio anyway). Also assuming that the IR Receiver can deliver 800mA max and it uses a symmetrical current limit (Unknown at this stage. If it is not symmetrical then one motor would receive more current than the other. If it is a voltage reduction then the power will reduce even further).

Then 100% for 1 motor is 550mA.

100% for 2 motors is 1.1A

Assuming above, then each motor gets 400mA.

Each motor is running at 72% power or ~3/4 of the 111 power.

Together there is 145% of the power of 1 motor.

So 1XL-1-Receiver-1-BatteryBox = 100% 2XL-1-Receiver-1-BatteryBox = 145% 2XL-2-Receiver-1-BatteryBox = 182% 2XL-2-Receiver-2-BatteryBox = 200%

Thanks, that should be pinned.

I can live with the second example, with 145%, but will try if one XL is enough foe specific model.

Need more power? try ading a li-po 11,1volts

It have a nice size to fit in models

Many discusions of it but it still works great

here is my mod withe the 11,1volts li-po
