any UK stockists of brushless motors (and esc)?

k_sw31 · #**277** 08-31-2002, 06:34 PM

thanks ya'll,

Crono Man- I plan to use it in my t3, i think i might go with the 70a anyways for stronger brakes.

Don't worry kris, that was just a hypothetical question, i plan to only run 6 or 7 cells an maybe a couple of 1500 packs in paralell.

Could i use this one? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...1&I=LXBRF0&P=C it comes with the motor and esc! Or what about this one http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...=++&search3=Go ? It comes with the esc also!

Use it for what? They're kinda, um, tiny.

k_sw31 · #**280** 09-01-2002, 09:17 PM

no you probably couldn't, or wouldn't want to use 'em. First of all they're way too small, they're intended for airplanes so they don't have brakes, and you they're designed to run off 7 cell, 500 mAh batterys, not the standard car stuff.

There's no AMP's!! When starting or coming out of a turn to full power a typical motor will pull 20 to 60 amps it would take those motors 2 city blocks to get up to speed.

well im putting my brushless motor thing back on hold for the moment. I got a speeding ticket a while back and i got the court date yesterday. Thing is i got the hardest judge in michigan and will probably completely screw me so ill be paying like 3000 on insurance a year. If that happens that means no bl motor.

good thing i can't drive yet...

mr_bonkers · #**284** 09-02-2002, 11:56 AM

don't know if this has been posted before, but it looks good

I'm looking for a BL replacement for my 1/10 2wd buggy...

I don't want huge speed, but I do want huge run times

I think speed should be comparable to a 19 turn mod for what I want, so any suggestions? Oh I'll only be running 6 cells.

Thanks

k_sw31 · #**286** 09-02-2002, 12:40 PM

get the aveox sytem or the lehner 4200. I heard you get 9 min runtimes with 6 2400 cells and a 4200. But either way your gonna have a ton of torque.

Hey, do you think that bl motors would be fine driving in the rain?
you'd have to water proof the esc, but the motors would be fine right?

crono man · #**287** 09-02-2002, 01:01 PM

ac power and water are not the best combination imho..

#**288** 09-02-2002, 02:04 PM

Yeah, only DC can stand water....

k_sw31 · #**289** 09-02-2002, 04:51 PM

but your car gear runs off dc, wall outlets are ac.

crono man · #**290** 09-02-2002, 05:42 PM

what do you mean k_sw1???

mr_bonkers · #**291** 09-02-2002, 05:56 PM

He means:

Batteries are DC and you car runs off them, hence you car runs on DC.

Wall outlets are AC (and a lot higher voltage too)

crono man · #**292** 09-02-2002, 06:01 PM

water to a lesser degree does not effect dc powered equipement as much as AC powered units..

in bl setup youre source is DC but gets converted into AC power so you have more chance frying your esc and motor

#**293** 09-02-2002, 08:31 PM

Here's my planned gear ratio for my Bolink. It's a 60/35

crono man · #**294** 09-02-2002, 08:37 PM

insanity is a fun ride

hey, you know that kid on the movie the rookie that says "o my god!" ya thats just what i said

#**296** 09-02-2002, 09:48 PM

Hmm.....I wonder if the local airport will lend me their landing strip

That's with 12 cells and an E-maxx motor, BTW

k_sw31 · #**297** 09-03-2002, 01:39 AM

nice soya, heres my t3 that'll be revieving the lehner setup, if you look closely you can see the 2 speed. For 1st gear i think i'll have like a 76/19 and second gear 72/25.

k_sw31 · #**298** 09-03-2002, 01:41 AM

Here's this one.

k_sw31 · #**299** 09-03-2002, 01:46 AM

In the first pic it was quite wheelie-happy with seven cells mounted like that.

WhoKnowsWho · #**300** 09-03-2002, 04:13 AM

I thought you were trying to add air resistance to keep the speed under control with the battery mounted that way.

From what I have read, the Warrior 7018 controller can handle up to 18 cells in parallel, so I will be hooking up my E-Maxx with 2 6 cell parallel packs whenever the stuff arrives. I hate waiting... no wonder I shop at the LHS all the time...
