You could but I would go with a larger LIPO. A 1,500 mAh is really undersized for the Thunder. Though, the Thunder's motor gets hot pretty quickly on 3s so you will likely have to let it cool down every 5 min or so... so a small LIPO wouldn't a major handicap as you could just change it when it is cooling (a cooling fan and heat sink is a good idea to minimize the heat). If you want a great LIPO, I would get this one. a.co/d/hay2iXT It is on sale for $37 which is a great price for such a high performance LIPO. It does have a EC5 plug on it though so if you can't solder/don't have someone to do it for you, that could be an issue.

4S, 16,8V times 4400 gives you 73920rpm on the motor, which is claimed capable of max 50000. It's only a budget motor, not best epoxy, not best balancing, not best tolerances, not best bearings. So we should assume, it's NOT capable of 50k rpm safely and with durability. Let alone a 1,5 times that. You wanna shatter that motor into pieces, go ahead and run it at 4S
@BriansRCStuff3 күн бұрын
I appreciate your concern and you are not wrong that the motor will be stressed. Yes, its life may be short lived. That being said, your math is way off as you are forgetting to take into account 2 important factors. First is voltage sag. Running a spicy setup like this on a small 4s LIPO will mean a lot of voltage sag. The voltage of the LIPO will dip to around 3.5v per cell during a speedrun. 3.5 x 4 = 14V. 14 x 4,400 = 61,600 rpm. Now, that is faster than the motor would like to spin, but during a speedrun you are only at max rpm for a few seconds (about 5). But, there is a another factor you are not considering. Under load, the rpm will be lower than when you simply assume that the motor will spin at its full 4,400kv rating like it would not mounted in a car. Factor in the load on the motor, the rpm will be at roughly 50,000 rpms. I have tested MANY LIPOs on my channel and have an ESC with full telemetry data and have seen this over and over again. Also, I have run several budget 4s motors that are rated around 4,350 to 4,600kv on 4s for speedruns. Provided you only do 1 run at a time and let the motor cool down after each run, they have been fine after many 4s pulls. So again, while the motor would be stressed and it is not ideal, and the motor life will likely be shortened, it would not be spinning anywhere near 74,000 rpms and spinning near or even above 50,000 rpms does not mean the motor is going to "shatter into pieces".

I turned the punch down on mine so it should be happier on 3s that it would have been otherwise but the drivetrain does not appear exactly overengineered to me so I am going to have to be cautious when doing 4s speedruns! Right out of the box with just a pinion change it went 58 mph (different/smaller tires) and on the stock tires it can go over 60mph with this setup (but they balloon too much so you have to bind them with fishing line - I couldn't be bothered. On 4s it should go over 70 mph with my current setup! If you need parts, search for the FTX Carnage as it is basically the same truck and you can sometimes find cheaper parts for it!

I am thinking 75mm tires are a little bigger than my AIMROCK tires but a little smaller than the stock tires that came on this truck (I am not sure they will handle 60 mph though). I hope to get it out this weekend to run it. Was your motor mount and everything basically the same? A smaller spur would be great!

@BriansRCStuff I just corrected my post , the wheels I used were 70mm diameter for the 50mph run. I did try some 85mm wheels, but it was very tricky to drive on those. But yeah I did exactly like you have done with the stock motor mount. I actually slotted the holes though. I have not tested but I think the MJX aftermarket adjustable motor mount may work too. There's really no room to go any bigger on the pinion , unless you start chopping the chassis and use a custom motor mount. It was just a bit of fun to be honest using parts I had laying around from other projects. I might have to give it another try on some slightly larger wheels! Good luck 👍

@@DON-JULIO-FISHING If you have any questions, I would be happy to try to help! I was in the same boat as you just a couple years ago and slowly started posting videos getting my vintage cars working again. If you are looking for a 3S battery, do not get the 1500 for your thunder. It is too small. If you need help picking an appropriate battery, just let me know! I tested the small battery in the thunder just because it is a stable platform that would put a relatively high load on it.

@@DON-JULIO-FISHING very good! Just make sure you get a larger 3s… 5000 to 6500 would be a good size. when you solder, make sure you do one wire at a time to avoid possibly damaging the battery the wires touch.😎

Do they sell the CNHL batteries like this with a Dean connection? If not, anyway, you could shoot me a link for the adapter? I would really appreciate it, buddy.

Sadly I only saw the 2s version with Deans. I solder on new connectors to mine (adaptors will get you by but if you are going for speedruns it is not a good idea as they add resistance and can melt if you go too crazy with the amp draw). What are you looking to run this LIPO in? I would recommend going with a much larger LIPO if it is in the Thunder but this LIPO would be excellent in a smaller RC truck.

@@BriansRCStuff well I've got a thunder coming back from Britt with an upgraded ESC that can run up to 4S. Just have to get a cooling fan for the motor. Do have an MJX hyper go H 16 BM and should have an upgraded sonic and a 2997A that I am purchasing from Britt.

I can't wait to see how that Thunder runs. It should be a ripper! Sounds like you are going all out!
