Oh another quick one, was settings/program does the BR-XL come with out of the box?

I upgraded to version 3.50.20 from Castle, can't remember what it had. I replied to your PM but I'll post here saying it works just fine so far, throttle, brake and drag are normal and butter smooth.

Thoughts John?

There shouldn't be a generator load without the battery, unless the ESC is shorted down.

Well couldn't we check that by testing voltage at the battery terminals with the battery connected or not connected and spinning the motor. Just seems it shouldn't be that hard to find out, I guess.

[JohnRobHolmes]

you will always get a voltage on the terminals if you spin the motor fast enough. The only 'drag" would normally be the power up amperage of the ESC which is very minute.

Hey John. I have sent a couple of emails but haven't heard anything so I figured I would give this a shot. I ordered a 45T Torquemaster from you and also sent my 45T Torquemaster to you to be speed matched. According to tracking info my motor should be there. I just wanted to make sure it is and see where the order stands. The order number is #9689.

[JohnRobHolmes]

email your way. I see one email from you last night about 10:40pm but thats it.

Got it. Thanks. Much appreciated.

Hi John-I'm not sure of the best place to ask this ? But this seems like the right spot.
I plan on buying one of your awesome ESC/motor combos. Water proofed BRXL (i think)...but wanted to get your opinion on a motor.
The future build in question is a 2.2 truggy with a hard body cab & aluminum wheels...I'm guessing about 9-10# when done. I'll will be running on 3s lipo and mostly do slow speed rock crawling but i want some wheel speed. This will be my first rig on 3 cell so I'm unsure about the motor turn and which line of motor.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Josh


Oh, also...can i place the order even though the BRXL's are out of stock right now?best Holmes hobby combo

[JohnRobHolmes]

ESCs and combos are in stock.

I would say a 35t TorqueMaster combo of your choice is a good start for 3s with some wheelspeed.

Thanks for the fast reply. Will i still have pretty good low speed control with a 35t on 3s? Website shows the torquemaster sport as out of stock
Thanks

[JohnRobHolmes]

Yep, you will still have good low end. 35t sport motors will be back in stock in about two weeks.

Awesome...thank you Sir!
Being out of stock worked out well...going Expert or Pro

[AddictedtoRC1]

Hey John. Any ETA on my order yet? Order number 9689. Thanks.

[JohnRobHolmes]

Should be going out tomorrow, we are going through the service shelf this afternoon and tomorrow morning.

Got a question.

I bought a pair of Torquemaster Expert 35T motors for an MOA.

Upon disassembling them to clean and cut the comm I see that the armature is stamped 45T on both. Whereas on the case it is handwritten 35 and 35R.

Did I get a 45T or 35T motor?

[JohnRobHolmes]

Sounds like they are certainly 45t motors that were labeled wrong. I can guess who packaged that order...

I would be more than happy to swap out arms if you want!

Sure, how shall we go about this?

Funny thing is that I sort of like the speed of these. Perhaps I should just leave things as they are? How much faster are the 35s compared to the 45s?

They are about 25% faster.

You bet! Many thanks for your support!

John,

After thinking about it for a while I think that I'll stick with the "45Ts" and not bother you to swap out the armatures. I could use some stand up brushes though.
