Great series on MOTORS!!! I am glad that you did this, it is very informative. I am also glad that you finally call them motors instead of engines. I can tell it is a hard thing for you to change. haha I am an Diesel Engine Inspector and that would had caused my teachers and fellow Inspectors to loose their minds. If we referred to engines as motors it would cause heart issues with our teachers. lol Thank you for doing this for us engine guys that don't work on motors.

Only took me some time. But yes electric motor just like anything thing else. But glad you enjoyed the series, theres alot to a motor "engine" then alot of people give credit to or try to understand.

Chris, can you show how to test for a winding short and sensor test with the skyrc motor analyser.

How does this not have more views. I'm looking at a sensored setup for my rmx drift car. Do you suggest keeping the ~5-5.5amp baseline?

I guess would it be better to tune for temp or amps? And is there a way to measure power vs tq? Followup, is there a way to tune a motor to adjust power and tq. Decrease tq to gain a little on the top end. You might have covered it in a different video I just blasted through them all.

@@mjharding1984 amp range is safe for just about anything honestly. But you mainly adjust timing based on your needs till temps are to high. So if you don't need the torque the. You can get away with lowering your timing. If you need more then you can raise it. The baseline of 5 5.5 amps is a very conservative number. Id bet my race motor is up in the 7.5-8 amp mark but she does get warm.

@@ChrisPatrickRC wow thanks for the quick reply! I'm still pretty new to drifting but tuning seems tricky. We run for as long as we want. We can run laps for an hour or 15mins depending on the mood. But knowing that I can still get max rpm without having to go crazy with it is nice

@@mjharding1984 yea id turn thrown the amps alot of you plan to run a hour long session. No real need to have it cranking to the moon for you if your just drifting, or at least I would think. Heat will be your enemy so keep it turned down and you will be just fine.

What do you do when the environment is hot.? How do you stretch out your battery life.?

make sure your motor has a fan on it, has adequate air flow across the motor, and it should be good if your gearing is good. turn timing down would be the next option to save motor temps. also stretching your battery out, is a topic by itself, but a good quality battery you shouldnt have that issue. But lowing your amp draw on the motor will give you more run time as well. because the motor wouldnt be pulling as many amps. also gearing could affect your battery life.

can wrap that magnet rotor with aluminium or cooper tape for reduce heat? just wondering

i run a fan on all my motors, the best way to reduce heat is with cool air.
