electric question - 07-30-2006, 11:00 AM

Hi guys I got a couple q's.
First off let me say that I am pretty new to the whole rc hobby maybe a year in. I have a T-maxx w/force .15 bb, A nitro Evader st stock .18, Mrp outrageous drag boat w/ 19t mod motor and novak esc, and now a losi jrx-t. My q's are I picked up a reedy 9t motor thats like new. I put it in with my novak and it runs for like 15 sec and quits. Pretty sure esc's not powerfull enough for it. what is a good cheap esc for this motor? Also how do I run for more than 4 freakin minuits. I have 1500 batts. How much more will I get if i get some 3300 or 3800's? Finally as you cam tell I'm going pretty cheap with my stuff. I buy stock replacements when I break. I'm saving my money for a zenoah powered 50" forabuck Project. I like to drive my stuff but this electric stuff is really frying me. lol
Any help would be appreciated also if you got something I need let me know
Thanks

Trinity Cobalt motors get good reviews but be prepared, good motors aren't cheap either.

You could also go with the Novak Super rooster ESC. It also has no motor limit. Generally, when buying an ESC, get a lower motor limit than you plan to use. IF using a 9t motor, you would probably have to get a "No limit" ESC.

Forgot what it actually meant but it has to deal with torque. The more winds the more torque. If somebody says they have a 12x2 motor, that means a 12 turn, 2 wind motor.

Good article about motor winds in one of the two mags I get this month (XRC or RCCA). It's how many strands of wire are wound around the armature, and how many times. I'll see if I can find the info online and link to it.
