Title: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: chintal on January 19, 2014, 12:09:31 PM i have a 1:10 4wd off road electric rc car
but it's stock motor is brushed and has nicd 2.5 amps battery so want to upgrade it to brushless system i already have a 3s 10000mah(10amp)lipo battery please suggest the best parts for this javascript:void(0) Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: iamahuman on January 19, 2014, 06:17:32 PM A 10Ah 3s lipo wold be too big and heavy for a 1:10 vehicle.
If it's got a brushed power system in it, the drivetrain is probably good enough for brushed power only. If you go brushless, you need to use a very mild motor. What is the size of the motor? If the mounting holes match up, you can use a brushless motor. If not, you'll need to make your own mount. Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: chintal on January 19, 2014, 06:45:24 PM Its got all metal parts and drivetrain is good enough for a brushless motor
Plz suggest a combination If a 10amps would be too big plz also suggest appropriate battery Ty Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: iamahuman on January 20, 2014, 08:15:31 AM Which car is it?

this is the car i bought all details as per the site roduct Details: 1:10 Scale Electric Powered 4WD off road R/C Truck Factory Assembled - READY TO RUN Chassis: 2mm Thick Aluminum Chassis Drive Type: Shaft Driven Drive: Full Time 4 Wheel Drive Motor: Type-550 w/Heat Sink Electronic Speed Control 320A Stepless Transmission: Single-Speed Gearboxes: Sealed Front and Rear Shocks: Aluminum Alloy Bodied Front/Rear Differentials: Planetary Gear Type LCD 3-Channel Transmitter with Steering and Throttle Trim Body: Fully Trimmed and Painted Body Battery: 7.2V 1800mAh Ni-CD Australian Standard Charger Ball Bearing Suspension: Hydraulic Pressure Aluminum Alloy Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: 1firefly2 on January 22, 2014, 02:36:57 PM Dear Chintal,
If you have a brushed 550 motor, then go for brushless 540 size (~ 36 mm x 50 mm). Given that you have 3S Lipo(your pack's mah is too high/ heavy), please take a look at the following motor: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27860__Turnigy_Trackstar_1_10_10T_3900KV_Brushless.html (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__27860__Turnigy_Trackstar_1_10_10T_3900KV_Brushless.html) Now for ESC to drive this motor, following will suffice: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14634__Turnigy_TrackStar_1_10th_Scale_60A_Car_ESC_Version_2.html (http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__14634__Turnigy_TrackStar_1_10th_Scale_60A_Car_ESC_Version_2.html) I have not seen that vehicle so cannot comment on other upgrades but if you wanna try, then its good to experiment. Try to get a 2S Lipo to be on "safe side" though. This seems good enough: http://www.joyrisinghobby.com/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pro=159 (http://www.joyrisinghobby.com/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?pro=159) Regards, Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: chintal on January 22, 2014, 02:53:36 PM all parts in the car are metal expect for the arms they are of plastic but tough one
will that do or do i need to upgrade to metal arms Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: chintal on January 22, 2014, 02:55:53 PM and how long will it run with a 5amps 3s battery
and with a 2.2 amps 3s battery and 3.3 amps 3s battery what diffrence does it make if i use a 3s or a 2s ? Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: 1firefly2 on January 22, 2014, 04:52:28 PM Right now, I think there is no need to replace the arms with metal ones.
In similar conditions, same vehicle running in similar way requires similar power. So a 5000 mah 3S Lipo will give almost twice as much run time as a 2500 mah 3S Lipo (pack weight difference may be considered for exact ratio) Similarly, You may calculate ratios between 2200 & 3300 mah batteries. 3S vs 2S...well if you use 3S 'judiciously' with lower gearing, then you will get more run time / less heat for same capacity of Lipo pack. Otherwise 3S means more rpm, heat & serious wear and tear in the drive train. Now if you want to replace a 5000 mah 3S battery with a 2S one for similar run time, we have to roughly calculate the mah of the 2S Lipo required to do so. Let us see: Your vehicle at a 'W' weight takes 'F' amount of force from 'T' amount of torque from the motor to move at an average speed 'S' against friction & air drag etc for given weight and shape of the vehicle. To this, the motor has to 'work' against the surface friction, drive line friction, air drag etc. For a given vehicle, this work done per unit time, power 'P' is same for same conditions. Case 1 - 5000 mah 3S Lipo: Power required = P (as above) Power = Volt x Amps, P = 11.1 x I1 Case 2 - 'Y' mah 2S Lipo: Power required = P P = 7.4 x I2 So, I1 / I2 = 7.4 / 11.1 (Notice I1 < I2 so less heat!) But I1 is current drawn per unit time from 5000 mah capacity of 3S Lipo Hence, the ratio I1 / I2 gives us the ratio of mah1 / mah2 i.e 5000 mah / Y mah :) Therefore, 5000 / Y = 7.4 / 11.1 or, Y = (5000 x 11.1) / 7.4 = 7500 mah or 7.5 A Lipo pack!! In this way you can choose 3S / 2S or can identify mah to match your run time as per your requirement. Please correct me if I am wrong somewhere & sorry for this long boring post as I am quite bored here in office :( Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: chintal on January 22, 2014, 05:46:38 PM Thanks for all this didnt get the gear part
Cz nt into cars mostly into multicopter's Wt would be a smaller gear and wt would be a bigger gear plz explain wid a examle Title: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: GhostRider on January 23, 2014, 05:39:23 AM Thanks for all this didnt get the gear part If you add more power i.e: higher mah battery then it would require lower pinion gear.Cz nt into cars mostly into multicopter's Wt would be a smaller gear and wt would be a bigger gear plz explain wid a examle It all depends on which brushless motor you choose post which you can decide on 2S/3S As far as I have seen your 1/10 scale, go in for velinon 550 motor, it might be expensive but one of the best...which will support upto 3S lipo Title: Re: need help selecting motor and esc Post by: 1firefly2 on January 23, 2014, 01:30:24 PM (http://)
There are two preliminary gears in drive train: 1. Drive gear (Pinion) 2. Driven gear (Spur) Pinion is mounted on motor shaft which drives Spur that transfers power to drive line. If motor's rotational speed is N1, Pinion teeth count is T1 & Spur teeth count is T2, then: N1 / N2 = T2 / T1, where N2 is speed of Spur gear. This is gear ratio. If one increase T1 & or decrease T2, then we say higher gearing (Top speed of vehicle increases but acceleration decreases). If one decrease T1 & or increase T2, then we say lower gearing (Top speed of vehicle decreases but acceleration increases). Now the speed of motor and so the vehicle is directly proportional to voltage. So if you use 3S in place of 2S, the speed will increase and so will the heat and wear tear. To increase run time, gearing has to be lowered as mentioned above while raising voltage translating into same speed as before.
