Brushless setups for cars and trucks

[jagboy]

I posted this on URC and thought you guys might get some use out of it too. It is not meant to be a full list by any means, but as a list to help you start picking out bl systems.



Brushless setups for cars and trucks


This guide is meant to give you an idea of what to look at for certain cars. There are thousands of combinations out there, so be creative.

Things to know when purchasing a brushless setup:

* Sensored has a good startup (little cogging) and is good for racing, but has limited cell capabilites.
* Sensorless doesn't have quite as good of a startup (cogging), but the difference between sensorless and sensored decreases as the technology progresses.
* Sensorless motors and ESCs are usually capable of handling high numbers of cells (12-40.)
* The Kv rating is the number of RPM per volt: the higher the Kv, the faster the motor will be on low cell counts. Current will increase if used in the same application with a lower gearing (bigger pinion/smaller spur)
* A lower Kv motor with a higher cell count will usually provide longer runtimes and be easier on the ESC and motor.
* Check out the stickied brushless manufacturer index for more info on the parts listed.
* Always check the amp ratings to make sure the ESC will handle the motor.
* Don't overgear your setup, don't push it to excessive speeds (60mph on 12 cells)

Key:

(S) = sensored

(SL) = sensorless
