fxr question

[korn_2956]

ordered a 27 turn handwound HH motor and an FXR for my dingo kit. after i ordered it i read that the FXR is 3s compatable with 35 turn or higher motor but has anyone ran a 27 turn on 3s with one. will it blow up. i guess i could run 2s but i really want to run 3s. thanks

depending on the kind of load you put through the motor you should be ok. if you were putting this in a 2.2 crawler I would say no (for a couple reasons actually) but if you take care of the system and know what you're doing it wil do fine. If you are rough on your stuff then i would order a 35T, at least as back-up.

It will not work, I tryed it, it didn't blow up, it just glitched real bad
You will come up to a rock (small rock) & it wont even crawl it

i dont see why it cant handle it. if moa ppl like myself can put 2 hw 35t's on 1 fxr running 3s, why wouldnt it be able to do 1 27t. if u had glitching it may have been from something else.

Ok thanks guys gonna try it and see what happens. I might just have to run 2s till HH has more brxls for sale.

where did you read that? I just checked the specs that came with my FXR and it says you can go as low as 12t on a 2s but nothing about a 35t. maybe im missing it, but ive been running my HH27t with my FXR without issues for months.

I saw it on there site. Are you running it on 3s.

sure am, never even thought about the turns but so far so good . ive also been checking the temps and the last run was 30 min. all out and the motor was barely warm. guess im gonna find out.

You shouldn't have problem with 27t motor on 3s. Just watch the temps of both the motor and esc. I would suggest gearing down, will lose little wheelspeed, but will help keep the motor and esc cooler.

I did run 21t 550, fxr with bigger cap on 4s for while.

Thanks guys gonna do it. It just has to last till I can get a new brxl in March.

I guess it doesn't say it wont work

I tryed it and it acted funny like the battery was dead (fresh 2S battery) I put my other 35t back in it and it runs great to this day :-/
maybe I'll try it with a newer fxr, the one I tryed it with was one of my original fxr's, from 2009
