Finally finished my buggy conversion!!!

[Mozzy]

I was using a 15t pinion & stock 46t spur.

The motor has a max draw of just 110A, & the ESC can cope with 120A, I thought I was doing ok with my choices. Also, had the throttle EPA at 60%.

Especially considering the Aust distributor recommended the ESC & had checked my motor (I sent it last time I toasted one of these) & said it should be good.

Bummer, guess not.

Well, I'll ask him what he'll do now after this.

I have a 2084kv sitting here will that be any better?

& oh yes, it was fun alright for about 10-15mins.

I guess, I still have a lot to learn about these things.

Just looked at these, http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=2461 http://www.impaktrc.com/product_info...oducts_id=2681 would they be better suited?

The 2084kv motor would be a much better choice with the gearing you have... The amp ratings of motors are not really viable with car use. They are based on some sort of prop testing.

yep, i can confirm that. also, i run 4s with a 2550kv, and a 12t pinion, its stupid fast (for me) but i would definately be wary of that motor, its a 4s motor at max. (really i dont think its suitable for any application, its too hot to use and on 3s eficciency is out the window.)

try a neu :P

1512 2.5d seems popular on 4s and a bullet on 5s.

The 2.5d is a 5s motor, and a rocket on 6s.
