This is a follow-up to yesterday's video where I unboxed & upgraded the already awesome Mojave Grom to brushless with a Hobbywing Quicrun 16BL30 ESC & Reedy 4500kv 280 motor.
I was able to pin the trigger and get her scootin! I needed to check the temps as that Reedy motor gets hot.
Let me know what you think and as always everyone stay well!

Having the fan blow air over the wires is super important. The wires are the weakest link in the system always. The balance of gauge for amperage is no joke. However they all get hot. So having airflow over the wires will help gain some more speed. The hotter it is the bigger the loss and then slower speeds. You’re on the right track.

Thanks for this!

@RcPlayer-tt2vw Ай бұрын

Wish they used better wire little copper would go a long way lol I put fans on everything if you go hard keeping the center diff nice to have some air moving over too .

@boduke9428 Ай бұрын

Another channel had a good point. Might a well get the 10bl60 esc rather than the 30. You can't have too much esc when it comes to heat and such. It'll fit just a easy and is only a few dollars more.

@bigbristv Ай бұрын

No esc heat issues with the 30. It's the motor that gets hot. Thanks tho 👍

@ReactionRC Ай бұрын

I don't know why he said that because it's easily 20 dollars more. The 30 is around 25-30$ and the 60 is 45-50$ so if your on a budget the 30 is way to go.👍

@boduke9428 Ай бұрын

@@ReactionRC true, but to the average RC addict that's not a lot. Anyone of us with an Infraction or Felony spend nearly that much in tires every battery pack or two. I thought it was a good idea because I have more options in the future for the 60 since it'll go in more different vehicles if you wanted to change stuff up later on. I personally love the BL series esc's and combo's along with the Spektrum stuff and try to buy at least one every time I catch them on sale just to have on hand. I'm running the 10bl and 8bl combo's in at least a dozen rigs and haven't had an issue with one yet.

My favorite too today last day 15% off too but place that sell LC racing had regular bl60 on sale for 40 bucks and I didn’t realize there’s a bl35 too that’s why there cars are so fast , I put bl30 in 14t to get rid of the lag or soft punch I have the mini Losi is why I went with the 30

@scaleworksRC Ай бұрын

Heat rises, so I'd say up and out for the fan is probably best. They did a pretty good job with this little guy and those speeds are very impressive for that scale!

I've tested this and fan directly onto the motor was way more effective than trying to pull rising heat up and away. Most effective cooling is a fan directly onto the can, as close as it can sit without interfering with each others magnets.

That's how Arrma runs the fans on my Felony: fresh air straight down onto the motor.

If you have a good transmitter you can put the fan on a switch on the remote. It doesn't really matter and works the same but is nice. This is an absolute beast, some very nice upgrades.

I bought the Reedy 280-SL4, 4500kv motor , which just arrived today and I've just ordered the QUICRUN-WP-16BL30 esc , which should arrive in a couple days, I'm going to get the gpm cvds , gpm motor mount, and the full metal diffs from eBay aswell. You have the same motor and esc combo in yours, what would you rate it out 10?, 10 being excellent, 1 being shit house.
