Awesome tool bro! 👍 I have been running this car since April. I'm currently running a Castle xlx2 ESC with a Castle 1717 1650kv motor. This system is soo powerful and yet efficient that it's amazing. Even running 1:1 (34/34), I can do 6-8 runs back to back at ~119 mph with no overheating issues. I did 4 runs yesterday back to back on this gearing to test out some new CNHL racing line batteries, 9500mah/120C. My motor never got past 107F & my ESC never got past 102F, 4 runs back to back & the ESC fan never even came on because it never broke a sweat lol. I have even ran this system with negative gearing, 29T spur/45T pinion. 2 runs back to back before things got warm but still within the safe zone. Thanks for the info and link, gonna try it out to see what #s it comes up with for my next gearing setup, 34T spur/ 39T pinion. 😎👍

I recommend arrma GP5 diffs(2.8 ratio instead of 3.308) it will give more headroom in kv/gear selection, especially if you end up going for a beefier lower kv 56mm motor. Once you push beyond 100mph your load % will grow steep. In my world 12% is more wishfull thinking than conservative. So don't worry too much about motor max rpm specs as load will prevent reaching them. The Castle XLX2 is the only real option for an ESC. With the castle MMX8S as second. For various reasons others are not a valid option when chasing the maximum potential. Motor choice is more or less arbitrary. 125mph can be done with a $50 4092 motor...

Great setup, 8s may be a bit too much for the motor. Although it is rated for max 50,000RPM! You would have to gear down if you dare to try this.
@josephcaruana91652 жыл бұрын
@@RCexplained According to the specification maximum voltage is 26v so I think I would be risking to blow up the motor, with the gearing that It has with 8s it will rev about 46k although when it is on load the battery will be like a 7s so regarding the revolutions it should be within limits but I don't know if the winding will hold on. Something else I think if I use batteries with higher output it could gain some m/hr.

@RCexplained Жыл бұрын
Hey Dom, Is this for a Limitless V1 or V2? My gearing choice would change depending on which version you have as gearing is different between the two versions. My motor preference for a circuit V1/V2 would be Castle 1717 1650Kv ESC for V1/V2 would be Mamba Monster X 8s LiPo battery: 6s 5000mAh minimum up to 8000mAh from SMC, largest C rating for best performance. Choosing a lighter pack may help handling performance here. I prefer to use Amass AS150 as connectors on the ESC and Batteries. You can split the 6s battery in to two 3s packs wired in series to place in to the 2 battery trays. Battery tray sizes are different between Limitless V1 and V2. V2 has shorter trays along the length. Stock gearing using a 27T pinion on a V1 would allow for straightaway speeds up to 140+km/h. A v2 would be even faster than this. For short tracks and even longer tracks, I would gear down (smaller pinion or larger spur) as you more than likely don't need that kind of top end speed. One catch is, you may not be able to go too much smaller on the pinion gear with the 17 series motor. In this case you could go up in spool size by swapping the stock spool for an 8mm Pinion gear. This works perfectly and what I used on the V1 Limitless to run a 22T pinion gear. Hope this helps!

@@RCexplained Awesome info. Thanks. This is for a Limitless v2 fresh out of the box.
@RCexplained Жыл бұрын
If it's a V2, you can try stock gearing, however, I think you would be much better off by swapping the 39T spool for an 8mm 44T pinion. And then putting a 27T Pinion on the motor. I believe smallest pinion gear possible on stock gearing is around 32T.
