spent the day digging in my parts bins
dug out all my old esc went through all of them and salvaged what I could (tossed the rest )
ended up with several nice vintage esc's working and ready to install in a build
still have one old futaba esc to test but it looks like it will run
also spent some time and rebuilt a few old motors
lol even got this old rusty lightspeed motor up and running like new(not pretty but hey it works lol) https://youtu.be/WuKJJxGAxMQ
Hello all,
I have several brushed motor questions, so I'll just put them all in one thread.
First, I have an adjustable timing motor with the endbell removed and no markings. How do I reset it to 0 degrees timing? What will happen if I accidentially...

Hi 85Edinger,
I`ve seen that the one or other question is not answered from your first request. gomachv described exactly how to find 0° timing. I`ve included a pdf-sheet which I made myself with AutoCAD to set further timing. The red line in the...
I'm looking to get a brushless motor setup, I'd like to have a decent amount of power, but nothing to overwhelm my car (stealth transmission gold pan, with B4 slipper assembly). I've picked out a few parts that would seem to work...
Ok, I have this motor that I pulled off my newly found RC10 buggy and I can't seem to find any info on it. I'm curious if anyone knows what turn it is? Also I have this ESC that has been sitting around awhile and I'm curious if they are any good or...

That's a bit harsh... the ProDigi is an excellent ESC that can run with anything out there from bitd... I have a couple of friends who still race theirs in 2wd mod (where brushed motors are particularly appropriate) with success.
So I run the Castle Sidewinder 3 in both my RC10T buggy conversion, and also in my B4. Same exact setup, they also both have slicks for the clay track.
The big difference is that the B4 has a gear diff, and the RC10T has a ball diff.
What I have...

I *REALLY* love driving the T-buggy. It's so much more forgiving than my B4. Plus it's fun to surprise some of the newer guys with just how good an old car can be.
I know there's a TON of factors that could play in why the B4 is faster than the...
I am building some Kyosho re-releases and wish to equip them with identical motor/ESCs. I am thinking a ~2500kv motor and a hobbywing 60A ESC.
Like this:
Also, it seems it's cheaper to not choose a combo.
Motor:
ESC:
What do YOU suggest...

I ordered a Hobbywing XERUN Justock Zero Spec 17.5 combo at Amain Hobbies for $94.99. I should have waited on the Black Friday sale because they marked it down to $80.74!!! :roll: :lol: The motor is rated at 2100kV, so it should be tame in my...
Im sure this has already been talked about but i couldnt find it. I have a rc10t2 and was told to look at the ez run motors and there are several! not sure how to get the right one.. i want to run the car just dont want the best of the best! just...

I generally don't gear for speed, but for temps specially the lower KV motors like the 17.5 and 13.5 which I use mainly. As I mentioned, my local track is 1/8th scale and jumps are huge and far apart, so I gear accordingly. My cars don't have an...
Hey!
I’m about to upgrade my 13.5t motor and ESC to 7.5t or something in that range. But I’m on a budget. About $100-150. Can I find somewhat good set of sensored motor and ESC for mod buggy class.
Last post
Never tried them (or any electric motor for that matter), but I have been looking around for what’s available to me, and the Hobbywing Xerun and Ezrun motors and ESCs are what I’m leaning towards.
EDIT: Oh, I assumed you were looking for brushless.
I know its probably been covered a milion times but the searching can be a pain! I don't mind links to help point me the the stuff I am asking about though.
First are my cars, esc's and motors. All 1990's stuff. I have a few radios from then too...

I just checked, they come preset at 0°.
For good brush life and limited wear, I typically run my motors conservatively at 6-8°.
For max power in a buggy, I'd run 15-20°. In a truck, probably no more than 15°. But depending on the application and...
