Thanks! ... Quote:
Thanks! BENCH TEST IN PEOPLE! Donzii, excited yet? Well, the motor is so darn powerful, the MOTOR WIRE IS SHOOTING OUT OF THE MOTOR 0.0 THIS ISN'T GOOD, I'M SEEING A LOT OF SPARKS...NEEDS CAPS...BUT REALLLY, THIS IS UNFORTUNATE, WHEN I GET A RUNNING CAR, THE MOTOR IS SELF-DESTRUCTING. Darn! Donzii, I caught some of it on video, my camera battery is charging, so check back in a few hours, I'll have a video, for some reason my PhotoBucker takes forever to upload videos now...o well...it IS crazy tho, and it works! Wow! Lol, I'll edit my post once I get the video uploaded via PhotoBucket. |

Awesome! I looked up them on youtube, found a pretty cool drift video. I'm gonna post it ok? It makes me want one. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tikjpqjm7wY&feature=related
That looks downright smexy with the body...even clear! It even has body clips! Is the body lexan or plastic?

Lexan It's ok for the vid, no probs dude. EDIT: LiPo pack just finished charging, I didn't blow myself up! Woohoo! Wow, I feel a lot safer with LiPo because of this charger.. Cam batt still charging.. EDIT 2: Just fried the esc, here are pics of what happened to the motor, too much wire, it got caught under the arm, twisted around itself and started to self-destruct......XMW people- Remember what happened to Junk-mod-er? Same situation... :O I am buying a novak spy today....so yeah...what a rip... :O Last edited by 2wdpancar; 03-24-2008 at 11:07 PM.. |

That right there is one of the reasons its important to maintain an extremely tight pattern with 26awg wire (like the one in my avatar). Its also important to make sure your arm is balanced, and that there isn't any wire protruding from the walls of the poles. Judging by the residue on the comm, you need to break in your motors at a lower voltage, or clean them more...
Wanna buy two Novak Spy's and give me the other? Later, RedSXmodder |

It seems to work..This motor was brand new, it wasn't broken in yet, And yes, I need to get comm drops and clean the comms more. Sorry, I bought the Spy yesterday, you should've told me in PM's earlier! I'll get comm drops on Friday...and yes, you do need very tight winds using 26awg, with the new arm I wound, at 16t, I doubt this will happen. It's hard to pattern wind under 20t with 30awg for me.. I need to use a bigger awg. |

Just solder a AA holder to the brushes, and let it sit for 15 minutes...and this is what I get...isn't it okay for there to be that line? Ph2t said it's good for it because that shows the brushes are hugging the comm correctly... |

No no no, the other Spy is for me Explain that drive shaft, is it apart of the motor arm?

Anyways, the motor has 2 sides, and the shaft is built into the arm, so it's long(the extra 2wd shaft), the extension where the comm is, goes longer, so it can be 4wd, the arm runs thru the end of the can, no extra driveshafts. When I get back to SF on Saturday, I'll take a pic for you texan. |

So you have to use specific motor shafts that are long enough to reach the diffs?
I wonder how the gearing feels (speed vs torque balance) with no reduction between the motor and drivetrain. Oh yeh, Junk ruined his motor by over revving it on li-pos if I remember right. Just ran the motor straight up with nothing connected to it, and the **** thing just spun it self to death.

Gearing is good. It looks like crap, as others have said, it HELD UP ON 7.4V LiPo and a 18t motor, nothing to worry about people! It may look cheap, but the fool underestamates the quality. OUT OF THE BLUE: You will see a BL F-150 soon, from a model kit, using a 10250kv micro-t motor and esc, mini-x RX, and a hs-55. Using a 7.4v LiPo pack, this thing will be SICK! PS FOR TEXAN: Hey dude, I found this esc from HK, for dual motors, it's on sale, hobby-grade, not a bad price, holla at me if you want a link. Last edited by 2wdpancar; 03-28-2008 at 02:05 AM.. |

PM it to me. Been semi-saving for a Novak Microspy ESC. But if you have something cheaper, I'm all ears!
So, the motor windings, and comm all go onto these extened motor shafts/drive shafts? You'll have to get me pics, that seems like an interesting way to do it.

Make sure that ESC is for land use and not air use, a lot of air ESCs are setup for dual motor for aerobatics and scale looks. Air use doesn't have a brake module while land obviously does. BLT, you've made this mistake before, so make sure to check twice.

As far as break-in...
I read somewere that you should run it in water. It keeps the temps down, washes the whole motor at the same time, and so on. But afterwards you have to get ALL water out (PITA) and then use some Motor Spray (big can is like $7). This displaces all water, gets rid of all dirt, and then you re-lube the bearings/bushings with some good lube. Comm drops will do more for you too. Make sure you apply them before you start break in, though.

RedSXmodder was talking about if you do that water dipping method, can't it somehow ruin(or possibly ruin) the stacks of all the wire? Like when you let it sit or pull it out... I like using a battery holder the best. |
