Dropping pinion tooth on motor, gearing down, will help enormously. Yes, you will lose some top end, but gain much on low end. Many non-sensored brushless systems such as arrma big rock, come with a 15 tooth pinion. Yet it tops out at 50mph. If you don't need 50, you can reduce pinion tooth and gain low end, while also running a cooler motor/esc.

The ending made me laugh out loud. I didn't expect that after the serious tone of the video. I'm running a monster truck with a brushed system, 60a ESC and 17t motor. The ESC manufacturers instructions recommended max motor for 2s LiPo is 12t but for 3s it's 18t. So I wonder will I fry my ESC if I exceed the motor recommendation by 1 turn and run on 3s?
@RCexplained3 жыл бұрын
Hello, you will fry the ESC if you pull too much current through the ESC. Data logs and temp readings can help avoid this scenario.
@reverserestorations263 жыл бұрын
@@RCexplained The manufacturer max motor recommendation states 18t on 3s or 20 000 rpm @ 7.2 volts. The 17t motor I'm running reaches 20 899 rpm with a fully charged 2s at 8.4 volts. So by one standard it's over the recommended limit and by the other it's well within the recommended limit. I will probably just try it and keep a close monitoring of the temperature.

I have two Zeee packs and they both do it. It does not happen when I ease into the throttle though. Any idea what could be causing this problem?

Thanks for the videos. Between you and John Holmes I've learned alot about rc motors in the last couple months. I have a question about dielectric properties. There are lots of testimonials on KZfaq about the effectiveness of using corrosion x to make electronics more water resistant. Unfortunately we can't get it in Canadian stores. Fluid film looks promising but the two products use different units to describe their dielectric properties. Dielectric strength of 37kV for corrosion x and specific conductivity of 'less than 10 -9 ohms/cm @1 mHz' for fluid film. I haven't been able to find out how to convert one to the other for comparison. Any advice? Thanks again.
@RCexplained4 жыл бұрын
Hi Beleg, thanks for the comment. I totally know what you mean by not having access to CorrosionX in Canada. Probably the reason I have never owned any. Have you looked at just ordering some online? I'm not sure you can compare these values based on the different methods of how they are determined and measured. It's breakdown voltage of the dielectric vs resistance of another product. It's unfortunate they only provide one value as a means of understanding its resistive property The specific conductivity for the Fluid Line product, typically measure in Siemens is expressed in 10 ^-9 ohms/cm. Siemens is also expressed as mho (ohm spelled backwards) Assuming this is what they mean, you can convert this to Specific resistivity, but relating it any further will be challenging. The best I can suggest is taking the Specific Conductivity Value and converting this to a Specific Resistivity. It may be more simple to buy a cheap ESC and operate it with the product testing its performance while introducing water. If you like the results, use the product. What do you think?
@beleg14374 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the reply. I was starting to wonder if that value was supposed to be exponential notation but they left out the ^ symbol. And I thought a product labeled as non conductive should have a hight ohm value and not a low one. Anyway, the math and physics involved is getting too complex for me so I'll take your advice and do some experimentation. Just upgraded 3 rtr rigs to brushless so I've got some electronics I can sacrifice. Thanks for your time.

Great video! Just had to replace the motor in our RC truck and upon startup with the new one, Im seeing this hesitation. I did have to solder wiring (ESC has 6.5mm bullets, new motor only had 4mm). Im curious if there is a way to check if my wiring is now an issue? There is no binding in the drivetrain that I can feel....the battery *might* be suspect because it sat for so long without a charge, but it did charge up OK last night before use. Thanks
@RCexplained4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Christopher. You can check your wiring simply by running your RC at high speeds and power consumption. Then check the temperature of your connectors to confirm they are not getting hot. Less then 60C (140F) is ideal. To confirm if your battery is OK, you will need internal resistance measurements of each cell in your battery. Most all good LiPo chargers will provide this for you.

@@RCexplained Thanks! Thats pretty simple, was worried my solders were bad (I did run into the "enamel" problem you mentioned in another video, but scraped it off and was able to solder). I assume if the connectors at the ESC are getting hot, its because of resistance from bad solder joints? I did test the resistance across the soldered joint and was getting basically 0 (auto-ranging multimeter, was 0 up to 0.5 then slowly backed down to 0) Checked the IR of my battery last night and the cells were between 4 and 6mohm. I know its not great, but I dont think its horrible. 6S 5000mah pack, its probably 2 years old by now. Thanks again.

Yes, if the connectors get too hot it's due to resistance across this connection point. You won't be able to measure resistance across the connector as your multimeter would need to be able to measure 0.0005 ohms. 4-6 mohms per cell is going to be a 5000mah pack with less than a 20C rating.
