night crawler motor replacement

[four12unner]

does the night crawler need the huge caps it has on the motor when I replace it can I run standard ones ?

like the ones preinstalled on this motor I decided to try

I am not running them on my replacement intergy and everything seems to work fine.

also i installed a fan that states 0.7 watts where the lights used to plug into the reciever with a castle bec powering everything

bec plugeed into bnd plug
fan pluged into 3rd channel
red wire on esc removed

will this cause problems

plugging the bec into the bnd wont do anything that is to bind a tx with the rx the bec needs to be plugged into the aux port of the rx

Thats not exactly true. The bind port is also the battery port for gas cars, so the bec is fine there. I'm only saying that so if you want to ever hook in a dig servo, or a punk dig, they will go in aux and the bec will have to go in the bind port.

I have an intrgy 45t on mine took off the capicator runs fine. I asked many people about the capicator and we think it is for when your using nimh battery to store power for when you punch it. But no one knows exactly.

little capacitors were used in the days of AM and FM radios to help cut down on motor glitches and radio interference. with the new DSM and FASST systems they're not really needed since the signal is digital.

the big capacitors you see on the ESCs is for handling voltage spikes and amp loads from brushed and brushless motors. your correct in that they store power. it helps lesson the initial load on the ESC and battery.

basically when you mash the throttle in racing your hitting the ESC for everything it can give and wacking the batteries at a bigger amp load. the capacitor loads up quick when your off throttle then helps deliver a punch of voltage when you hit the throttle. helps reduce ESC and motor heat and help increase battery life.

Ill add the cap back then it did feel a little soft

and the 35 turn motor and 15 pinion was not enough either now looking for a 21 turn traxxas titan in search of some wheel speed

how much motor can the factory esc handle ? with 6 cell nimh and 2s lipo power

[missions1]

im running an infinity handwound 35t motor with the stock pinion 20teeth
and 2s lipo and no capacitors on the motor great wheel speed and torque and no heat issues

[evolekim]

Running a Integy V11 35T on 2s with 20T. I am not using the motor leads that come with the LNC and have had no issues

I am running a integy 45t with a 20t pinion and a tekin fxr with a 3s lipo, and I can leave tire rubber on the rocks.

good wheel speed and torque get one of these. order it from mike. it will be same price if not cheaper.

tamiya super stock rz
if u want even more wheel speed
this is what i had in mine. i might put it back in since i blew my lcc tranny haha u were there

later down the line get a holmes esc like mine so u can run 3s. mine has been good to me

[four12unner]

I want brushless now im over the shitty performance from the stock esc/motor either so slow it end on its lid because its so slow going downhill or it stalls in a small bind with the 35 turn and 15 pinion

lnc esc/motor = rtr junk

[chino925]

the stock lnc esc works great till i felt the need to go 3s (i have a but load of 3s lipos). i may wannah buy your stock esc off of u. that thing works great in my MRC. i do thing u should get tires though. u can run the nova foams like what u already have, everyones been happy with. or somthing really soft like the set i lent u.

[four12unner]

last comp with the 35 turn the esc/motor would stall out unless i gave it alot of throttle so it crawlled like crap so Im completly over it

rover ex tires are what I wanted but they are sold out and on back order

are you going to hobbytown this thursday ?
I may end up buying a esc/motor combo

undecided on castle brushless setup or novak though
