Wow, thanks!

Nice looking anvil ☺️

So nice of you

I always wondered the same thing…… My straight away boats can pull 700 amps on a burst with a 8mm wire. ( I use German high strand count wire it’s pretty much a 8ga wire. ) If you tried using this wire for a AC welder it would fry so how come it can handle the dc voltage of our Rc. This makes for some good reading as I researched it years ago. Would like to see a video as well……..

Hello, thanks for the comment. This question about wire gauge vs current capacity has been asked several times and is in queue. I will see if I can bump this video topic forward. As for your second question, rotational speed I'll give it a try here. When it comes to a brushed motor and brushless motor, they both work the same. (electrical vs mechanical commutation) Voltage controls the speed and we can see that when we dig more in to the Back EMF equation. Additionally, both mechanical and electrical timing work in the same way as well. You can't speed up the motor by trying to accelerate the mechanical timing of a brushed motor. Same idea applies for our brushless setup. Trying to fire a phase in a fraction of a second earlier will not speed up the motor infinitely, in fact it will cause the motor to get out of sync with the ESC. What does happen is the ESC sends out a higher voltage (PWM avg) forcing the motor to accelerate. The brushless ESC must figure out the actual new speed of the motor and adjust the electrical timed pulses by reading the back EMF. Both brushed and brushless motors are a carefully timed sequence of events. And in both brushed and brushless, the timing of each pulse can not accelerate the motor.

@@RCexplained Thanks so much! That question always plauged me when trying to figure that out lol. And I'm looking forward to the video!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds great!

Voltage sag. You probably have a low C discharge battery and the esc can't pull enough amps without the voltage sagging.

It depends on the car and how much power it is going to pull from your pack. you can try to use NiMh by removing the cutoff.

Many reasons for a weak cell. Question is what is a weak cell, what is the metric used and what is the variation?

@@RCexplained First it starts to discharge faster - example of 4s voltages after run: 3.68 3.67 3.66 3.33 After some time it is also charging faster than other cells ⚡

Limitation due to discharge wattage.

Yes, but this is very risky. example -how do you know 2.80v/cell will work for your setup. Also, running your battery down below 15-20% capacity already reduces maximum lifespan. Not ideal to spend time at a lower voltage and even pushing it so its literally 3.00v at the end of a run. Your pack is not going to like you if you do this once let alone often.

@@RCexplained Ok, thanks for clarifying.

Discharging a LiPo causes them to heat up depending on how aggressive the rate is. Higher temperatures lead to lower IR's. Increased temps do also lead to lost lifespan.

@@RCexplained that makes sense. So the IR is lower while the battery is hot. I keep seeing these guys looking for the old dischargers that fast discharge the nicads, and they’re saying aggressively cycling their LiPos on there makes them perform better for peak power. I’ve been working with LiPo batteries in power wall and backup power situations, so the idea of cycling high-current discharges on purpose had my brain going, buut nooooooo!!! Haha 😂

Yep totally not required.
