Losi 2.0 Conversion

[gixxer]

sounds good and I have already met them when they have been at wolcott. actually know most of the rcdriver writers too.

I know 3-4 of us from rchr are doing 8th scale this year. 2 already have the cars. I am definitely converting another this year too but will wait till last minute because i want the tekin stuff and hoping to be able to hold out for the hyper 9 too.

see you at the pinshop then. also looking at your videos it looks like you have gotten a lot better since the days I use to race with you at xtreme.

Some testing data I logged last week. I was trying different pinions and I noted the temps of the motor with each pinion. The first was with a 13T and max temps were 120 degrees, the graph shows the temps with a 15T pinion (138) a little higher, but this made sense since it was higher gearing. Then the last graph shows the temps (176) with a 14T which surprised me because this was lower gearing (than the 15T) yet the temps were higher. I ran the test twice with similar results. 45T spur and Neu 4s 5000mah lipo used for all testing. Ambient air temps were mid 60's.


First run 13T, 120 degrees max after 10 mins.


second run with 15T, motor seems to reach operating temp (136 degrees) then levels off and holds steady.


Last run 14T temps start going up and keep going. I didn't let the motor cool as much as I did for the first two test but 176 degrees still sounded really high.
