Its fun to upgrade and work on Traxxas rigs. I don't care about breakages. Losi do have breakages, All brand names do have breakages. Not necessary to compares to another rigs. Who says RC is perfect????? Nothing is perfect. Traxxas is fine with 2s. So what are you trying to say?

Yes agreed about plastic parts. I replaced aluminum bellcrank, I don't like plastic bellcrank. If driveshafts breaks, I will searching for strong parts on ebay. All RCs are expensive, because of brushless RTR. Brushed RTR is cheap. I don't go for brushed and cheap. Too slow and no fun. I am still don't like expensive but I am used to it. Life sucks. lol

RC Doge, how are they too expensive? Many base models are under $199 and the stock replacement parts, which are almost always available, seem to be cheaper than most other brands. And if you don't like stock parts, Traxxas upgrades (unlike other brands) are virtually limitless.

Overall good information, however you completely skipped over voltage and gearing. Smaller pinion gear will help make up for increased weight and increased KV to make up for the torque difference. Also a 2000KV motor will have more RPM on 4S than a 3500KV motor on 2S etc etc. That is one of the reasons you see a lower KV rating on a physically larger motor.

So let me ask you a difficult question no one seem to be able to answer. I have a jlb 21101 with a 3670 2500kv motor and 120a esc. I installed huge 3.8 belted badlands and motor gets too hot. How do I solve issue as I’m not changing tires. Bigger motor? Tornado fans? Or smaller pinion gear? Love the high speed with big tires. Don’t do many speed runs mostly bash. But like to show it off here and there as it’s extremely fast

Agree with the others that mentioned skipping other important factors. Gearing, how many cells, and tire diameter are just as important as selecting the right motor. Case and point, I have that Mamba 5700 in my old school Associated RC10B4. Gearing is too short however, and the car not only loves to flip on its back, but also rip the tires off of the rim, yet the power band peaks out way too early so the car isn't nearly as fast as it could be.

I completely understand -- has to max the RPMs to get the value in the motor -- more weight of vehicle could negate the advantage. Suppose you can change the pinion/spur to a realistic ratio. This a noobs starting point. 5:1 per holmes hobby is good ratio; moreover, a smaller pinion/largest spur when in doubt.

Hi there...this is essentially one of the best brief videos that i have come across that covers the most necessary basics....but still...i didnt get the answer for my problem.....what i did was that i bought a 1/18 buggy...which had some toy motors connected to both of its axles....i removed them...bought a 3100 kv motor from racerstar (2845 3T i guess)....i then replaced the plastic gears in the centre axle with a metal one and used a belt system to that connects the motor at the centre and the back axle alone..so essentially a 2WD....the total setup weighs around 1.7KG but the car is not even able to move a bit..... it skips some teeth while rotating and makes a hell of a noise making me crazy......im not using it for racing...period...i just want it to move front and back normally..... BTW the reason y i chose the bldc motor instead of just using a motor and keeping it simple was that my objective was to use a flysky radio transmirter and control it and dc motors just wint do that job because of all those pwm and stuff.....what i suspect the problem from ur video is that i used a very low kv motor which just didnt have the enough speed to move and just the torque..... but since u guys are the pros here....please help me out...where is the mistake?....any suggestions/ ideas?

@DriftomaniacsRC 6 жыл бұрын
Thanks I deliberately didn't mention batteries or esc as the video was solely about choosing a motor, you can choose the best batteries and esc in the world but if the motor's the wrong one? Where I'm coming from is like this, you take a motor from a smart car, double the size of the fuel injectors, feed it on 100 octane fuel, but if you take it and put it in Ferrari it's still going to be as slow as a smart car. Hope that makes sense? I've done a video on choosing batteries before but you've made me think maybe I should do an updated version. ESC's I'll stay well away from as if I recommend one and someone puts it in the wrong application and it goes puff they'll not thank me for it. I do appreciate the time you've taken to give feedback but I kept this one specifically about motors.

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply. When I said batteries, it was more about the number of cells or voltage rather than quality. For example, that Traxxas 3500kv probably wouldn't last long running on 6s if it ran at all. That 2200kv may not even work on 2s. And if someone wants to run 8s, they'll need to choose a motor that is compatible. That's why the batteries matter in my opinion.

Sorry mate but you left a ton out of this video. The KV is almost a worthless metric. It just refers to the number of turns per pole. Brushed motors are rated in 'T' or turns of the wire per stator lobe, and brushless wires are rated in KV which relates directly to the number of wire turns per pole. Neither 'T' nor 'KV' speak to the output wattage of the motor, which is what you really need to know to select the correct motor. The reason your listless truck became a superstar is because for the size, brushless motors put out a LOT more wattage than brushed motors do. It is not the KV, it is the watts that make the difference, and the heavier your vehicle the more watts you need to drive it.

just burned an 60A ESC with a 3900KV motor mounted on a converted T-Maxx 3.3... Watching this makes me think i burned the esc because the motor drew alot of current trying to push the car in low revolutions... The motor wasn't hot though... I will try replacing both to a 2050KV motor with a 120A ESC...

Simon that latter combo sounds a much better bet, gut feel is that your original 3900kv (which was probably good) simply drew too much current, I don't claim to know it all but when I cock it up I do like to pass on the knowledge so others don't! I fried two brushless esc's in the snow in NJ when the snow put too much load on the wheels then motor, then the esc! Two esc fires in the snow within two weeks!

It all depends on the gearing and the weight of the car as well if you get it wrong the motor will struggle to make the power

Save your money boys!!!! Get the mamba X. I had a sidewinder...for two days before upgrading it to the mamba X. All I did was waste money as the sidewinder (3?) just overheated all the time on 3S. Hope that helps you and axiomatic and saves you some money, I know the sidewinder is less $$'s and I thought 'save some money'. All I did was waste some as I then bought the mamba X. Any more info let me know. I could do a side by side comp if anyone was interested?

Ah no worries, my parents still live up in Derbyshire. How are you liking the erevo? I hear the stock was somewhat lagging behind here, although some people are struggling to get them, I'd no problem getting that and the UDR. Make sure to join the erevo vxl 2.0 group on facebook. I'd also recommend the MX38 badlands tires (I've a video with them on test). Also if/when the servo fails I've done a video on a cheap upgrade for it. Another brit did the upgrade last week and the servos will still under 20gbp with the tax. The replacement ones I'm using are metal geared, 20kg & waterproof - about 4x more power than stock. Feel free to send me a PM to the driftomaniacs facebook page.

Driftomaniacs So far I’m loving it although first time out managed to sheer off the front part of the centre shaft, god knows how! Thanks for the advice on servos and tyres been looking at the mx38s they look awesome! What batteries would you recommend I’m currently running 2x 6000mah 25-50c and they get quite hot and ones starting to puff they’re nearly new too, would say a 45-90c battery be more suited? Thanks again and keep up the good work👍🏻

Sir, you've used a lot of words and haven't even showed us how to choose a motor or much of anything. Maybe change the title because it's misleading.
