MMP able to handle this Motor?
 

Hi,
I just ordered a 6-Pole 5000kV motor (1000 Watts) for my Slash 4x4.
Now I started wondering if the MMP will be able to handle this motor on 2S LiPo?
Especially the 6-Pole part of it.

Link to the motor specs?

Hi Linc,
it's not a CC Motor, so I won't post it up in the Castle section.
Sent you a PM instead.

I think not but i am not sure at 100%, The next castle sc combo are 4800kv and need mamba monster because he drain too much amp for the MMP.

The amps doesn't depend of the motor but of the setup (ratio, weight of the vehicle, etc...). I would wonder about the commutation speed required to run a 6 poles 5000Kv motor. The mmp can run a 4 pôles 5700Kv (new Castle 4 poles motors for 1/10scale), so I don't know if it can run a 6 poles 5000Kv motor. Just wait another reply of Castle guys.

I guess, i know what motor he ordered :whistle:
20mm long 38mm diameter 6 Turns

On 2S the MMP will handle it just fine

This motor likes high timings ! around 15 to 20 degrees

Make sure you have "biffy" batteries

Well big surprise!
It's because of you I got the idea to get that motor in the first place:whistle:
But I think you mean 40mm long:wink:

Hmmm 40mm long ????

Last weekend I had my first run with a MMPro in a Slash 4x4 with a 6 pole brushless motor (1530kv @5s). I have it setup for the same speed as a stock Slash 4x4 on 2s. After 30minutes of bashing the motor reached 44c and the MMPro was 15c.

The setup needs some fine tuning in timing. The manufacturer recommendend 5 degrees timing, but on forums I've read that 20-25degrees timing is best. So that will be my next attempt.

Hmmm looks like you got the same motor, i have, just with different "T's"
Sounds like a 10T one

Slash on 5S ? Thats a lot power. how much mA do your batteries have ?
I have 3S 6500mA and get almost 25min runtime Indoor so around 73Wh
A 4000mAh on 5S would be around the same (74Wh)

yep, mine is a 10. I'm running a 5s3000mah 40c zippy.

So, if you're running the same motor, do you also get a minor glitch a very low speeds? When I 'crawl' along it suddenly boosts forward a bit. This only happens with very little throttle.

OK Thanks for that

No cogging
I can crawl' are real low speed but i have seen the "sudden boost" some time as well
But on the CC2200 Motor, i have seen the same.
I use 10 degrees timing currently and no Punch Control
Low Start Power

But over all MMP and the Motor are a great combination.
I'm more than happy

Have you tired different timing settings?
I believe my motor temps were too high, considering I'm only geared for 30mph. Maybe I'm undergeared...

100% undergeared ! Those Motors don't care much about gearing
We had a test with the /7 on MMP in a SC8 compared to the CC2200 Motor (same KV)
The /7 does take 15-19 pinon and does not care ;-)
On higher timing, you will see less temps !
BTW the magnets can handle up to 180 degrees ! on all of them

10 degrees was just a test, i will go back to 18-20. But without Sensor, the MMP can't do more than 20.

I wish a 2240/10 would come around my house... compare 3S to 6S

Castle, maybe this would be a welcome change for the firmware, to allow maybe 25 degrees of timing, without sensor

I'd be suspect of any motor that has both 6 poles, and needs THAT MANY TURNS to get a decent Kv.
