brushless and lipo questions...

[x_doug_x]

i didn't wanna dirty up someone elses thread sorry bout creating yet another duplicate of stuff discussed, but i just baught this brushless system.
5700kv

this charger

and these batterys

how do you think it will run on a evader?

 

[x_doug_x]

charger suposedly has a built in balancer, so i suppose i don't need a external balancer.

hope it works out for u look like a cheap knock off combo

That motor will run hot on 3S. Keep your runs short in duration and monitor your motor temps. Keep the motor in the 140 degree F range or less for longevity.

any way to cool the motor?

same setup in the savage, accept the savage is 2200kv i think

according to a video i watched on here a few days ago, its the same setup in the e revo as well, but again, believe it's 2200kv and just has a diffrent name on it.

integy sells a heatsink/fan kit that cools the motor.. I dont know if all ESC's have the little fan plug like my VXL does but if it doesn't I'm sure someone could figure out how to wire it in

and it's a whole woping 15 bucks

i dunno if u can wire it into any esc i'm sure you can't put 11.1 volts to that fan, anyone else know if it's possible and how?

 

[x_doug_x]

i just realised system was made for 2s not 3s, now i gotta send those batterys back when they arrive if i can't cancel order

COMMENTS: When fitted with the Flux Warp 5700 motor or other motors with 5700Kv
of power, you can use up to 7 normal NiMH cells or a 2S LiPo battery.
When fitted with a motor with 4600Kv of power, you can use up to
12 NiMH cells or a 3S LiPo battery

should i return the motor/esc combo and get a 4600 or should i return the lipo's and get a 2s?

 

[rckid91]

ouch that sucks

 

[x_doug_x]

yes, but thankfully i read this, i dunno if the batterys have been mailed yet, the motor/esc will arive in lhs tomorrow


they don't have the 2200kv motor available yet by itself but those are my 2 options, 2200kv or 5700kv

 

[rckid91]

I just bought the 2s version of those batteries on the bay as well. Hoping they work out cause they are really cheap

i suppose i could buy the castle link adapter, and program my esc to only put 7.4 volts, or a little more to the motor, also buy the fan and maybe a little more, but i'll have to monitor temps...
also, anyone in here know if the castle creations castle link will work with the hpi esc?

 

[rollinlow]

i dont know about the hpi suff but its a cc esc with hpi stickers

the link will work with the esc I'm almost 100%sure



i run 3s on a cc 5700 combo :

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER whew....

now, did you adjust your esc for it?

i know i quoted myself, i think i got that off hpi's website yesterday, then i read this today

The Warp 5700 features:
1. Powerful, high-speed brushless motor
2. Excellent pairing of huge power and extraordinary efficiency
3. Same size as standard 540-size motor
4. Sleek black-anodized aluminium casing
5. Zero maintenance design
6. External solder tabs for easy wire replacement
7. Oversized precision ball bearings for long life
8. High Torque/ High Temperature Neodymium rotor
9. Slotless stator design delivers smooth, linear torque
10. Easy 4-point mounting for convenient installation
11. Longer run times than a comparable brushed motor
12. Easily rebuildable with bearings and rotor being user-replaceable
13. Compatible with any sensorless ESC

*If using an 8-cell NiMH or 3S LiPo battery pack with the Warp 5700, you will need to use a suitably powerful brushless speedo. Please check the spec of the speedo you plan to use. The Motiv can handle 3S LiPo power with a 4600Kv motor, but not 3S power with a 5700Kv motor.

i read this today, it says it can use 3s, i'm stumped...

i called hpi on the phone yesterday he said you can't use 3s at least if i did it wouldn't be warrantied

omfg on a regular 7.2 1200mah ni mh battery this thing halls ass. holy poop....

 

[rckid91]

:OMG: Wheres the video

 

[x_doug_x]

i don't have a video camera
let me see what i can do

 

[rckid91]

sweet we will be looking forward to it
