Speed run XXCR ... now 74mph!!! :) -
03.25.2007, 05:19 PM
Ok... I uploaded a video to youtube... waiting on it to come live....
Last night I took an old Losi XXcr buggy and strapped in a MM4600 system and my 5000mah 4s pack. :027: First test was in the driveway... got it crawling then gave it a quick full throttle to see what it would do.... the tires just about exploded, with a nice fluttering propeller sound :005: Ran it a couple times up the street in front of my house this morning. First pass... got 45mph and flipped going from about half throttle to full... Second pass... hit 52mph with the same results... wheelie then came down then wheelie then crash. So I grabbed my camcorder and went to an empty open street. It's very windy today...like 20mph and gusts over 40 I think. The place I ran it was mostly a tail wind but partly a cross wind which pushed the car around a lot. I only got one full throttle pass... short crappy video clip will be up soon. 68mph But I have to say I need to get out and do it again to see if this is right... and do it without the wind. I admit I drove there with the GPS on, and I forgot to check/reset the GPS... but I'm sure I wasn't doing 68mph in the car (45mph zone) but I did pass a guy so maybe I got close to 60's.... :005: edit: video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3698iDnkm4 new snow jump video too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27gBmBGL6C0 Losi 8IGHT MM/Neu 1512 1900kv Kyosho 777 T4 MM 5700 B4 LRP XX4 MM 7700 old losi xxcr, MM4600 4s lipo 70mph+ |

Was that speed with a tailwind? ;)
Yes, it IS quite windy today. If the kids leave anything outside in the yard, it's all most likely in the neighbors yard, or simply gone. Fine by me, they have too much crap anyway. :) Anyway, how did the 4600/ESC fare after that run (temp-wise)? |

Yeah... tailwind... :) actually the wind was coming from about "7-8 oclock" or like 220* is a better term hee hee
It was just a quick run... getting warm barely. I think I tripped a failsafe of some kind once... esc stopped and had a beeping tone until I unplugged it. Maybe overcurrent??? It did that when the car came down from a wheelie at speed, and I grabbed full throttle again while doing about 40... youtube still processing the video.... btw It's just a quick zip past the camera...as usual I was by myself Losi 8IGHT MM/Neu 1512 1900kv Kyosho 777 T4 MM 5700 B4 LRP XX4 MM 7700 old losi xxcr, MM4600 4s lipo 70mph+ |

Overcurrent would be hard to believe as a lot of people here run much hotter motors. Not to mention that I don't thing the ESC contains a method to measure current. When I took it apart, I did not see any current-sense resistors or inductors. It's probably an over-rev condition. Revving a 4600 at 4s is over 68,000 rpm! Until now, I wondered why you had so many bad ESC's - now I know! ;)

Ha ha... this is the most "crazy" I have been with them. One was being raced in a 1/10 buggy on a normal 6 cell pack and geared for a small track.
The other two I think were killed by cogging while playing on the track.... Does anyone know what else might cause the MM to "disable" itself and have to be reset? I have never seen this before... maybe it's in the manual... hmmm... Losi 8IGHT MM/Neu 1512 1900kv Kyosho 777 T4 MM 5700 B4 LRP XX4 MM 7700 old losi xxcr, MM4600 4s lipo 70mph+ |

I know, I was just giving you a bit of a hard time. :)
The only other thing I can think of (other than a rev limiter) is that the LVC is kicking in because those two factors are the only things that are easily measured with simple voltage levels... |

You need to wait a bit longer, I guess.
Nice to meet you! |

GD: Just get yourself a decent web host and you can put all your pics and movies on there. And you get your own domain name for visibility. :) Cost isn't bad at ~$7/month or less depending on the package...

The snow vid looked fun. Must have been before the warm spell hit. :)
