What about the KD36 range of brushless motors? Are they 4 poles motors?

No they r all two pole

Hi, but somewhere on the net I've seen a pic of a 2350kv (ezrun motor) with some sort of carbon wrapping around the magnets. Did I see wrongly?

What about the 44mm diameter ezrun motor? is it a 2 pole as well?

I got my motor replaced. It had a broken magnet. sent a photo of it and they sent me a new motor. It cost me the shipping.

Yes 80mm seems better by I was advise by medusa it's a overkill. That's y I stick to 70mm

80mm medusa is a good motor for a truggy or MT. Had a chance to use one on my friend's RC8t. Wheel stands any time and runs pretty cool. Way overkill in a buggy though. Was desperate one race day cause my 36/60/1600 was back at medusa for a new rotor + bearings due to bearing failure so I borrowed the 80mm medusa and raced with it in my buggy. Yep Overkill, but I was surprised that it spooled up rather smoothly even tho it had considerably more static resistance to turning the rotor by hand. This threw me off slightly over the jumps as it had more motor braking effect than my 60mm medusa and as such I nose dived a few jumps till I got used to it. Might borrow it again and get a massive pinion for a speed run just for laughs. I calculated 134km/h on 6s with a 36/80/1900 and a 25t pinion on my buggy. That's 10t higher than I normally run. I have the pinion already, gotta check if my motor mount has enough movement to fit it on. LOL.

Overall medusa motors are good for the money but keep an eye on the bearings cause they're small. Front bearing collapsed on mine after less than 6hrs usage. I will strip it down and check/clean bearings every 1-2 hrs from now on.

quick question about the 150a esc....

does it come with the motor wires and battery wires already connected? i ordered mine from nitrorcx.com for $99. the picture on their website shows it with no wires coming out of it.

[Nixpus]

I ordered the 150a ESC + 4465 motor from Swanghobby.

Motor and ESC was connected and there was battery cables on the ESC as well. I would have liked bullet connectors between motor and ESC... having the two wired up constantly is a bit unhandy.

Got to drive my xray xb8 conversion for 2 days when my HW80A died yesterday. up till then i was very pleased with it. program card is handy and it stayes cool. then all of a sudden after 5 mins runtime the car stopped and smoke came out of it. bec still works though. timing was 7.5 deg, punch was set to 5. ran it with a medusa 3660-2000 on 4s lipo. it took me months to finish this car and now back to the shelf again.

just wanted to ask for an update on HW´s customer service. i just wrote to the email adress that superek posted before. how´s your experiences with the cs lately?

[superek4]

It's good I just got 2 bnew 150 esc back from china paid freight us$30. The engineer name is Jack he's a nice guy. Their service is good. Now I do not worry about repairs:)

[sebsta]

Thanks superek,
i picked up jack`s address and wrote to him over a month ago.
He asked me to send pics of the esc which i did and never got a reply. I got a mmm as a replacement but i have to say that the ezruns are far better built mechanically. Maybe he reads this and contacts me again.

[superek4]

Email him again I do that always sometimes it goes into spam

Hello, Sebsta

I just got the automatic message from the RC-Monster forum so I log in and check the thread and find your post.

You sent a mail to me? I am afraid I didn't get it. Please send it to me again. zj@hobbywing.com

Thanks!

Hi, Can the 80 and 150amp hobbywing esc be configerd to run a brushed motor as on other brushless systems and what wires go to pos and neg on the motor A B C .

[fastbaja5b]

No, brushless only.

Damm, Thanks anway
