Heh, back in my day, we used the old school approach to discharge our batteries. Your average 12V incandescent automobile parking light bulb pulls about 1 1/2 Amps. We used to daisy-chain discharge rigs with 16 bulbs together to pull a 24 amp load against our batteries. Aside from draining the battery, it also had the advantage of giving us a visual indicator of how much charge was left after a run. The technology may change, but the innovation never dies. 😉

I do some Drift RC and i looking at video for adjusting my timming. I got the progbox 6 in 1 Skyrc and when i do the motor timming test it give me 27 degree. I run 27 boost changed the start rpm from 15k to 12.5k ad turbo his at 37 degrees and end at 42.5k. It get warm but seems to be fine, i try 30 boost and 40 turbo with same rpm and the motor get hot but still under 100 degree. I also change the pinion gear, from a 22T to a 20T, i go to the nearby track, one guy told me they run 19T, i had trouble follwing them at 22T but now at 20 ica follow them and they have a plastic track imported from Japan. They have the biggest track in Canada about 30 min, my friends and i do some on concrete. Concrete is harder is more abrasive

I quit racing back in the day right at the cusp of Li-Po and brushless motors. The promise back then was "Charge and go". No turning motors, dialing brush springs and brushes, matching battery cells, discharging individual cells, dyno testing batches of 27T stock motors looking for a hot armature, etc. Looks like not much has changed, and I still need another duffle bag of charging/discharging and motor tuning equipment to stay competitive.

u might add "C" ratings to your battery overview, about how C rating is discharge rate (but C is also used in reference to charging, its easy, discharge is like 30 or 60 or 110 C and charge rate C's are like 1C or 2C, as recommended by manufacturer) and thats where your "punch" comes from(i.e. 100 C>80 C), i know some guys over look it and get a 30 C battery and charge the crap out of it thinking that's the trick. just a thought, not trying to step on anyones toes or be a know it all, vids are great, i'm subbed, keep it up!

The last time I was racing, NIMH were the hot batteries and we still had brushes. I raced stock class 2wd. The motors came with bushings and you couldn't run bearings. Ive been planning on getting back into racing. The New brushless motors come with bearings in 17.5 and 13.5. My question is can these bearings be upgraded? ie, higher abec? Or different material?
@robertmoore1196 жыл бұрын
Well I googled and answered my own question. Bearing upgrades are allowed, so are rotor changes. I was aware Of the tuning rotors, but not aware of the rules about bearings. Which is information Im glad to have found. I like the idea Of being able to take something that came one way and change it too my liking. That can make it more difficult for the novice to keep up however. Too be honest, in stock class, I always had the hp, I just didnt have the consistency I would have preferred. Looking forward to getting back into racing after a long break. Back then I was much faster driving my competitors vehicles who always seemed to grab spots 1 and 2.

I have a question about internal resistance. What part of this process is causing the internal resistance in the battery to become lower? Does simply raising the temperature of the battery lower the IR, does the super high amp discharge then charge do this or is it a combination of both? Also does the low IR only hold while the battery is hot, then return to normal once it reaches room temperature again?
@RyanHarrisRC7 жыл бұрын
AfterHoursAthlete I am no scientist so I cannot explain why it's happening, but I am speaking from simple observation. When the battery is cold and begins the charge/ discharge process, the IR is very high and gradually comes down towards the end of the process. Also noted is the warmer the battery, the lower the IR in most of the cases I have seen.

There is no reason to bleed the shafts all the way up to the bodies when they'll never go that far given the spring cups act like a limiter given they add thickness between the shock body and the plastic eyelets when installed. Also, why 5-6 amp draw for motors? Where did those numbers originate? Is there a scientific reasoning for that amount of amp draw? Why noy 3.5-4.5 amp draw which is more efficient? ...and BTW, great video production, subscribed.

Iv seen the battery thing done. But there is one thing it does not last. The IR is at its lowest when the batter is hot. Then during the charging process it will self cool down. Then the IR comes back up. Iv done all kinds of test over and over again. The best thing is to find some good batteries buy a few. And use those for your main packs. Shorty packs will always have high IR because of the size and design of the cells. Getting HV cells are better in the IR numbers. They are a better grade of cells. You don't have to over charge them.
