Can you give me a run down of the dual motor set up and why it’s used I seen on basher body’s page some one posted their baser rig with a dual motor set up and said it would handle more gearing and makes the esc work less is this true?

I get the less stress on the drive train but I’m wanting to know about how two motors and one esc makes the system work less not the drive train the esc and motors being paired to one esc and how that’s done is it really as simple as splicing a b c wires into one plug and if doing so is that making the motors draw power more efficiently as they both spin so the esc isn’t pulling as many amps to get to said speed? I woulda asked the dude but Facebook is really sensitive now so I get blocked all the time lmao

Drag and lift square with speed. If you double the speed, you get 4 times the lift or in this case, down force on the wing. On higher speed runs the downforce will rise rapidly as speed increases aiding traction and stability as the back end will be less affected by small chattery bumps. A sweet spot on wing angle adjustment will help high speeds until drag takes over. A flattened hand out of a car window at 70mph will lift the weight of your arm! Loving the content Phil.

I hear ya on the space to run these. There is nowhere to run my AK-917 at full speed where I live. The smooth roads are either busy or don't have a straight stretch longer than 200 feet, and the straight roads are beat to hell, cracked and patched, and/or covered in gravel. The parking lots aren't much better either lol. The joys of living in the mountains in BC Canada. It is still a blast to run when and where I can though. I just know I'm not gonna hit anywhere near the 100mph mark with it

That's a bishin little car! For speed runs, you want with toe in or neutral. Toe out will make it squirrely. A gyro is a must for serious speed runs over 100mph. People have issues with it going straight because most people who buy them have no clue how to set up an rc car. It's mostly bashers who get the itch for speed. They also do it on real dusty roads with the wrong tires. You can make any decent RC car track straight if you have knowledge of setup and tire compounds. Great video as always Phil.

I'm starting to pay notice to Rlaarlo, that "Ford GT" thingie you showed before looked pretty tasty too!.. anyways.. gonna go watch this!

great video, Phil!

Sometimes with dual motor setups, clocking the rotation of one of the motors one tooth at a time untill you find the smoothest launch, then as long as you dont strip a gear/jump s tooth it should stay synced untill you unmesh them

I admit I’m not much into road cars mostly because there just isn’t many places close around me to use such a car with this sort of speed. Still, being nearly as old as the arguably oldest r/c car (Electric Giocattoli), seeing the first twin brushless r/c is pretty amazing to me and I may have to get one at some point. I do prefer the 917 body but maybe that would be an option in the future, win win. Also, jewel/ dual? I honestly never caught it until you mentioned it. Great review as always. Have fun and enjoy your day!

It has taken me a while to find a use case for this car - let's be real, most of us aren't going to speed run this thing daily or even weekly - so why set it up exclusively for what will be useless most of the time?. I've taken a Mamba X esc and a 1512 1800kv castle creations sensored motor (drilled, tapped, flipped motor mount) and with some aggressive gearing it gives me the best of both worlds. I've also played around with the geometry of the suspension and steering and chosen something that allows the car to be relatively stable at speed, but also predictable and reactive to steering inputs. If I want to hoon it I can stick to 3S and 4S and work on handing, power sliding, drifting and such. If I want to do speed runs and break different parts of the vehicle - 6S will get me into uncomfortably fast territory very, very quickly (with a shiny gold pinion still in the drawer and 8S if I want to get that nasty MMX8 esc...). So - get yourself a roller (917 carbon). Get a decent esc capable of 6S or higher. By yourself a decent motor every so often as a treat. Get some great small er 3S and 4S batteries with adapters allowing you to use them to either double C-ratings, voltage, capacity depending on needs. And, set aside a parts budget.

Just got mine. Mesh was tight on one side and loose on the other. Pinions did not have loctite on them. I ran it out of the box for a few minutes (nothing crazy) and one of the pinions fell off. The other pinion wasn't secured either and my spur gear was damaged. Very cool car, though. Looking forward to setting this up for bashing/ massive power slides.

I've gone and ordered the $499 dual motor carbon fibre 787. It was supposed to be dispatched on the 16th Nov, but it's delayed to the end of the month, so they can check the quality and make sure everything's 100%. It looks like your feedback about the cogging did the trick 😅

7:41 that's the same issue that used to happen on boats with 2 engines.....then they came out with engine syncros so each engine is rev matched perfectly. Now there are times when you want to turn it off because the proper way to steer a 45 footer in tight quarters is using the throttles not the helm. You can also use it to counter cross winds that want to push your boat off the centre line....not an issue with R/C cars though haha (just a bit of trivia)

What watch are you wearing? I like that. I wear classic Casio watches and this looks neat.

what are the foam tires you use for the speed run tho

Calibration is always worth a shot but I would suspect the motor/esc combo being sensorless as the cause of the cogging issue, just an inherent issue of a lack of a sensor cable.

@DESOUSAB

9 ай бұрын

Yes and no. There are other ways to get smooth starts without cogging and without a sensor cable. For example - an unsensored 14pole motor will do quite nicely on a 1/10th crawler. However, there is alot of innovation in the crawler world. Nobody is really doing much in a programmatic manner for speed runners though...
