I am running Self Contained battery R/C in my 44 Tonner. If the stuff will fit in that it should fit in most everything you boys are talking that you have and are curious if it will stand up to your needs
I have a 2 amp ESC-R which is good for 12 volts. There are also 5 Amp/12 ESC and larger capacity, but really not that much larger.
The brand I am using Action-electronics.co.uk has nice controllable speed graduations.
I am using a 2.4 ghz transmitter/receiver, which allows me to run different locos with a single transmitter. I am not sure about double heading.
Power is LI-PO battery 7.4 volts .5 amp. I'm running just a 1 amp motor in the 44
I finally ran the batter down to where the battery protector [absolutely necessary with li-po] shut the power off. About 4 hours worth on a small battery--the smallest available [everything is jammed into a 44 hoods] Recharge time some where around 35 minutes.
I am working with a combination of both 1st and latest generation tech parts.
