Brushless on a Clod?

[Clodbusterfan 21]

So I know a Clod needs a motor with zero timing. Correct? How do I go brushless? Are there brushless motors that have zero timing? What would you recommend?

 

Would this combo work?:

All sensorless brushless motors are zero timed (or more accurately, un-timed, as mechanical timing on a brushless motor is brought about by the alignment of the sensor array and the stator coils, so no sensors = no timing).

So yes, two of those will work just fine!

Cool thanks! I was told I would have to program my esc's.  Do I run just 1, 2s LiPo on my 2 ESC's? Is it hard to set everything up?

Will this combo work front and back?

And should I go with the 4000kv or the 3300kv?

Is this the program card I would need?

Check my Clod in my showroom. I have 2 Castle Sidewinder 3 combos on 1 x 2s lipo.

I run a single battery with two ESCs fed via a Y-lead. Two of those combos would be fine. Personally I'd go for the 3300kv ones. Yes that is the right program card.

What do you guys think of 2 of these ESC's and 2 batteries?

Heres what guy on a different forum told me about 2 batteries. What do you guys think about this:

You are also going to find making brushless work is a lot of work. You need a 3 or 4 channel radio, unless you plan to use a servo Y-harness to hook both esc's up to channel #2, then you have to get them calibrated the same, and running to separate batteries is a bad idea. You will find that the rear motor/esc will run out a lot sooner than the front due to the rear being under heavier load (weight transfer and all). So that leaves you needing to make a harness to run 2 esc's off of one battery. (that is what most people do)

Essentially he is right, although wouldn't call plugging in a couple of Y-harnesses "a lot of work". I suppose it depends on whether you make them or buy them, and how comfortable you are with soldering if the former.
