100,000rpm?

[Dojo Dave]

Ok so perhaps I have someone's attention I have a TA06 stock chassis, and I have a castle sidewinder 3 esc and brushless motor. I hooked it up and it's pretty stupid but overheat went quick. I'm sure the gearing ratios would need adjusted but to what, or should I not be so stupid and put a regular motor in the car.any thoughts

[Backlash]

What KV motor do you have??

What battery are you using??

What gear ratio are you running??

[Thirteen30]

Backlash hit the nail on the head, we need info.

If it's something crazy like a 9000kv with tall gears, yeah your going to burn the thing down. You can run fans but ultimately they are more of a band aid than a fix.

The biggest thing to remember with brushless and lipo systems, it's better to volt up, and gear down.

I'm guessing the castle system came out of the DF-03 white edition

Go as low as you can and see if that resolves it. Then gear up until your happy with the temp.

yup, how did you know lol. We're you watching it too.

6900kv motor, 23t on 68t a 2's 4000 20c.

change to a 21 pinion and 70 spur and test the temps, if still getting hot to quick drop a further 2 off the pinion and that should have you pretty well sorted

Thanks I'll give it a try.

[Darat76]

I should add, if it's not warming up to quickly with 21/70, but still getting to hot, you could get a competition grade heatsink and fan combo from the likes of Wild Turbo Fans

Holy cow! That combo has some juice.

I'm Irish I rarely do things by half measures, kinda like you Texans

I'm currently trying to find and fit a 4000kv or higher sensored brushless to run with some 60c 4000 mah 2s lipos, and that's only coz I can't fit my 100c 8000 mah 2s lipos in the blitzer beetle/bear hawk chassis without dremelling the chassis to accept my race hardcase lipos *lol*

tho if I make a custom battery holder I could use my 5000 mah 50c 3s lipo.... if I had the skill to custom make stuff....

Crazy Kiwi drunk with power, looking for power tools lmao

[Darat76]

*lol* that's nothing compared to what I was thinking of doing to a df-02 rising storm, and that was fit a brushless motor around the 5.5t range

and I have attacked that chassis to take my more tame 60c 5800 mah 2s lipos *lol*
