Comparisons on some brushless controllers!!!

[suicideneil]

Could something like that be built as a stand-alone device, and plugged in between the esc & battery? Or am I being thick again?...

[BrianG]

Most certainly could, but it's usually cheaper to have something like that built in.

[lutach]

What would that do exactly.

This would allow use of 6s+ lipo and it would bring the input voltage down to 3s-4s levels. The batteries would then be cheaper since the battery current would be much lower. Not sure if the expense of the added circuits would outweigh the cost savings of the cheaper lipos...

Beyond my expertise, but it sounds complicated so must be good...

Allow the use of cheaper lipos that don't have the C rating to sustain high currents.

[lutach]

That would be nice. The 10C rated lipo packs are very cheap now LOL.

Today my Aveox 1412 1y failed on me. The shaft came unglued from the magnet assembly. I tired my FDM (Feigao) 7XL and the MGM 16016-3s didn't like it at all. The spur is 48T and pinion 14T. It thermaled after 8 minutes. I thought I had glued the front end of the motor, but I just did the rear.

Cant you glue the magnet back onto the shaft, I heard JBweld works well for that.

I'll actually try that. I was going to have Neu Motors do a little cleaning on it and replace the kevlar around the magnet. I can always have that done later LOL.

[suicideneil]

Oh of-course, I forgot that Neu stemmed from Aveox, so it makes sense that he is willing to work on it for you. if the Jbweld isnt successful then having them fix it up good as neu* for you you is great.

*Do you see what I did there, I made a funny....

I think "neu" means "new" in French LOL. I love all my Aveox's.

I just found out today the Aquacraft SV27 brushless motor is a 6 pole beast LOL. The magnets are super strong and the assembly is well built.

[lincpimp]

supervee motors are very good, Guys on the boat forums have tested them to at least 3/4 of a horsepower. The 45 amps speed control that aquacraft use is also very good. Guys run 8l motors on 4s thru it so it is pushing much more than 45 amps. It also works with a wheel transmitter. Ido not think it has brakes, but it would be ok for use in something lighter weight with mech brakes.

The Aquacraft motor is very powerful. I will stop running my RCs for a while. I'm trying to test some batteries and ESC, but every time I go out something goes wrong. Today I just fried my BK 3695. My MBX5T somehow lost my signal and it went straight into the curb, broke my servo holders and the motor kind of came apart. It is strange how everything started going wrong in the past 4 weeks. Today 3 of my RCs kept losing signal. All 3 have different crystals and I use a M8 with a synthesized module. So I'll take some time off.

Today was a good day for the BPP truck, but the MBX5T will have to take a breather. I had some interference problem with my Airtronics M8 so I went with my JR XR3I. It seems that all my FM radios get interference at this parking lot. My Spektrum does fine. Today I just simply lost signal. I forgot to put my failsafe and paid big time. The MBX5T hit the curb at about 40MPH and almost everything flew out of the truck. Nothing broke, but I bent the Front Lower Arm Support. The 2 2S 5000mAh KongPower packs are incredible and they took the hit well. This packs are built tough. I will sell all my FM radios and stick with Spektrum.
