Glad it helped!

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.

That was very informative. Thanks for the explanation.

Such a gem of a find between all this ruff stuff clear as anyone needs thank you for your time 😎🤯

I have a 6s Arrma limitless with spektrum 150a esc 2050kv motor I use it for drag racing and from a dead stop when I pull the trigger I have a secon delay from when the car moves and a lag

Hi there, great vid. Can you tell us if running a car with this hesitation damages anything? It's happening on my brushless Zorro and I will try what you have said. But if it doesn't fix it am I doing any damage by using the car?

I am using a 23 tooth pinion and am experiencing tons of clogging in the grass do you think that would be why should I use a 16 tooth in the grass?

I have 3 drift cars. All with sensorless set up. 2 have no cogging but only 1 is cogging. So what did I miss?

Hello I have a xstr 1/10 buggy (normal brushed motor) I have brought a new brushless combo which is 4370kv with a 60a esc both waterproof and can also take 2s or 3s Lipo. It keeps cogging every time I try let it off on ground, it starts to clog for a few seconds and THEN picks up speed. If you could please as to how I can solve this, also I’m using a 3s 11.1v 3s 2200mah overlander battery, am I using the wrong battery? I have also purchased a esc programmer for this combo just waiting on it. If you could help would be much appreciated thank you

It’s a hsp xstr standard 1/10 buggy, I tried to configure the settings on the remote control but still doing the same thing

So I have a very weird issue. I have a 3674 2260kv running on a wp sc8 120amp with no issues at all. I recently put a 4076 in its place 2000kv and it cogs and cogs or if I hit full throttle and it's under load it cuts out and the esc goes red light and no throttle. It's in a rustler 4x4 so not much weight I'm running slightly higher gearing to accommodate the much lower kv. I noticed one motor wires feels slightly warm after 30 seconds of use as thats that's its current max run time? Is it possible the new motor is trash or bad solder job from factory? I'm only running 3s and max for the motor is 5s.

I have a GTB novak brushless sensored system in a Losi xxx-sct. I am having a weird issue. My Platinum Orion 2S 4800mah (I believe its a 25C pack but it does not say) pack works perfectly fine with the setup but my Zeee 2S 6200mah 60C battery has really bad stuttering when I take off at full throttle. 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? I thought I might have gotten some bad battery packs a while ago or maybe the Novak GTB esc just does not like the higher C rating batteries? I was going to order some different brand packs with the higher C rating like the Zeee packs I have and see if the issue continues. If you have any ideas why this could be happening I am all ears. Thanks

How can I stop my rc buggy from cogging? I have a sensored system. I am driving a TLR 8XE Elite with a Tekin 2250KV motor running on 4s lipo with 15/46 gearing.

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 KZread 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.

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?

@beleg1437

4 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.

Excellent video 👍 I have a HPI Baja SC that I converted to electric 8s with Castles XL2 set up. Running at low speeds it stutters terrible. I now believe it because my C rating is 35 and Castle recommends 50C or higher. I'm going to have to chuck these and get something better. Thanks!

Hello very good channel indeed and in this video I saw an issue that sometimes I had with my granite 4x4 3s BLX... that start up hesitation. Altought I had somehow a problem with my first esc that suddendly"died" I found with time that pressing the trigger more slightly would not trigger that hesitation so often. Thanks for a lot of interesting videos. By the way I still have that great awesome boat supervee 27 with that motor and I would to know your oppinion. We could run two 7 cell nmh packs in series in a total of 21 volts. I am running mine on 4 cell lipo but if would run 5 cell lipo it would be also 21volts.Do you think that would be possible?

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

@RCexplained

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.

@RCexplained

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.
