Never mind, I got my answer today on the Tank Trap course.

Can you fix that? :mrgreen: BTW, the sound that a cobalt motor makes when it goes from 24,000 RPM's to 0 is not good.........

Working on it. I have another proto here and am in process of winding it.

55t on 6s works really nice. Handwound 35t can take 6s, but not machine wound. I don't know how fast the machine wound can be spin before destruction.

It will shorten the life, but you can add a bit of forward timing to help or use a motor with standup brushes.

Don't send it my way, I have enough stinky electronics here ! :mrgreen:

Not much I can do for the armature, and the magnets are probably toast too. I would consider it scrapped.

Well if you need a tester..I'm your guy..."thumbsup"...Gotta losi moa beggin for dual brushless...8)

Hello John, im trying to calibrate my esc, i hold full throttle before the battery is pluged in, it then goes to red and beeps, i then go full reverse and it beeps green and red then i go to nuetral and it goes back to fast red but yet i still have no power to the motor, its all connected right

ax10 or lcc steering?
 

Hi im trying to use aluminum ax10 hop ups on my LNC and im wondering what all i have to do to modify things to make it all work. Do i need to completely swap out knuckles and carriers as well as steering links and balls ect, or just a few things?

You may need to adjust your neutral on the radio. Maybe change the throw of your trigger if you can. Sounds like you aren't getting neutral.

Your asking the wrong guy, I don't know parts as well as electronics :lol:

Brush leads
 

What would be the down side of not using the leads that attach to the brushes and are solder to the motor polarity tabs? I am runing dual 35t handwounds and dual FXR's. I still experience clod stall. I thought running dual esc's eliminated clod stall, or could this be due to not using brush leads?

Thanks for your time, Dave

So you are not running brush wires? You will get a lot of heat and lack of power.


The only way to dial out stall is to have independent control of the throttle.

hi,'i,m Angelo from Italy.i plan to plan a dual esc berg. is a good combo tekin with your hh 35t handwound right? does it exist also 40 t hh pro handwound?
thanks

i plan to build..sorry :(

I like the FXR, it was my choice for competition for a long time. They work great with 35t motors.

I don't have any 40t motors here that I am aware of.

i need hotwire to set up? you run at 3 cell lipo? because i have only experience with novak brushless goat 2s but all suggest to me to change to brush for dual esc berg.i had a doubt between 45t o 35 t holmes hobbie but if you suggest to me the 35t,i will buy this..

is this the motor?

You don't need the hotwire, there are buttons for easy programming on the tekin.

That is the motor. I actually run 6s lipo on 55t motors, but with the FXR I ran 3s and 35t motors.

i have much wheelspeed with 35t and 3 cell lipo?,how many C recommend for lipo battery? here in italy we have a good availablity of hiperion vx 35-65 c? it's good a 1800 3s 35-65 c? thanks john

How many shims are supposed to be on the 540 handwound armatures? (yoko can) Cleaned the motor and dropped the shims. I have 2 brass and one silver steel shims on either side of the arm. (6 total) Want to make shure I'm not missing any.

Oh yes, that will be a great battery. You will have tons of wheelspeed with that combo.

Every motor is different. The smallest shims go by the bearings. The larger shims go inbound. Basically you shim it where it wants to sit, so there is just a bit of up and down play.

last question john and thanks for your suggestions from Italy!!..which pinion for my hh 35t? 12t ?

I generally start with the smallest pinion I can use, then go up a bit until wheelspeed is right or something gets hot.

ok because for me it is the first experience with moa and with berg axles..so you suggest to me a 9t or 10t to start also considering the most used set up with holmes torquemuster by your driver on national competitions..i would a set up that it hasn't problems of overheat..sorry for my several question :(
