Brushless question

Quote

Post by illshou » Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:43 pm

Can you run more conventional batteries with a brushless setup, or do I need to run lipo? Was going to go with a traxxas velion brushless setup and having to buy that and a good lipo at the same time is a bit much.

you can run ni-cd and ni-mh packs with brushless. lipo is preferred due to the benefits that they offer. but are not a requirement.

Yep you def can run older batteries with them. I remember when the Mamba mini systems first came out they would shutter when you started if you used crumby batteries. It had to do with the amp draw and that the bad cells couldn't feed it but other than that there was never any issue

First post

When choosing a brushless system what does the KV mean. Like the traxxis 3300kv or the losi 4800kv . The larger the number the faster?

Last post

it is the voltage constant expressed as RPM/volt. if a motor is 3000kv and you give it 10v it should hit 30,000rpm

You don't need to do anything special to run a brushless system in your T3, I would recommend cleaning and rebuilding your tranny.

I would recommend starting with something like a 17.5 or 13.5 sensored motor and a really good ESC woulld be a Novak...

If this was my car, I'd replace the motor. Take what you will from that.

By the time the soldering joints are botched, it's time for as new motor.

well this isnt your usual topic here, but can anyone recommend a small brushless setup for a 16 tunnel/hydro? I have no idea when it comes to brushless, so motor / speed control (amps?) / battery are all unknown to me. in the oldschool days, a 380...

Hi,

I have a NQD Tear Into, Jet Boat that is 16 inches long, that I put together.

I bought a $10 380 size brushless motor from China and a $10 Brushless Speed control, again from China.

and a 3 cell 11.1 volt 2200 LiPo.

I had to get a LiPo alarm...

Hey guys,
I'm in the process a building a few of my favorite RC cars I couldn't afford as a kid (the Tamiya Hornet was as good as it got for me in the 80's). I'm kind of getting back into RC after about a 8-9 year break and am loving all of the...

Last post

I went with the LeMans 240S 15.5T.

The tabs were tight but they just barely fit. The tabs on the 240S motors are turned opposite from the regular LeMans brushless motors. They are also an open U shape that allows you to route the wire to the motor...

It is a 17.5t, and I do have the boost coming in pretty low...4000rpm I think.

I've done a lot of searching, but can't seem to find a good answer to this question.

I am upgrading my RC10T that has a stock Stealth (but now with a b4 slipper setup) to a Tacon 11T 3200kv brushless setup, using a Hobbywing Xerun 60a ESC. Any...

Awesome - thanks, Joel - I will start there!
