Hello every one, I'm new to this club, and have just begun building/driving rc buggies last year. I'm into Lego Tecnic too and have come to realise that the Lego community has a much better technical documentation of the Lego compatible motors than many of the manufacturers. All the data is standardised for comparability at one glance, especially amperes, rpm and torque in Nm at 6V and 7,2V.
I miss this consistency. Also some manufacturers give practically no information on their motors almost as if it were a big secret.
Rule of thumb: ESC Ampere continuous rating should be 30% higher than the motor Ampere rating without load. No manufacturer gives that motor rating.
If all this data were standardised as like in the steel industry, which I worked in for several decades, life would be a lot easier when looking for specific combinations.
How do you as a community go about choosing ESC/motor combinations?
Cheers!
