Edan2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi I have just found out the my ESC can have up to 20t so I am gonna buy the hpi fire bolt 15t would this make Much of a difference ?In speed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes it would destroy your esc. 21turn motor would be your limit really as the lower the number the more powerful the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edan2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Ok so I would need. New ESC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut jims Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yes if you want to go lower than a 20 turn motor you would need one that can handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In speed ? Like I said earlier the lower the T rating the faster the motor so the 15T is faster than the 20T, you said your esc can handle motors up to 20T if you think of it in terms of down to 20T but not below 20T it might be easier.

Edan2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hi also my motor and the cog on my motor keeps coming off or gets loose and slips and moves away from the slipper clutch is there any way I can prevent this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIFKILL Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 You've probably lost some screws. All the motors are threaded and screwed in from the gear (cog) side, probably 3 screws, if you can move the motor around with your fingers or if there's play in it the screws are loose or missing and the motor pinion (small cog) is loosing contact with spur (big cog).

Edan2013 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Oh ok just checked and there is a screw missing that holds the motor in thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edan2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi my motor has stopped working completely I think it's because it kept overheating. so I am gonna upgrade my ESC to a 12t and get the hpi firebolt. Would this be ok and how Mutch speed difference should I get? My old motor was and 18t and I am upgrading to a 15t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIFKILL Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 (edited) Oh the motor is brushed and its an Ansman clash 540 21T motor Didn't you say earlier the motor is a 21T if so I guess if your going to a 15T it should be at least 25% faster, but if you get this ESC you will be able to use LIPO batteries which will give you even more speed. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-sniper-rv-12-assault/rc-car-products/37403 Edited August 30, 2013 by GRIFKILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edan2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 No I thouhght it was but it wasn't its definitely 18tWhat's lipo batteries does that replace the usual battrey pack ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edan2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi this is the ESC I a, going to buy its an ansmann 12t but I don't know if it would work with lipo batteries http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181201050346?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edan2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Hi I might get this one instead but I don't know what turn it is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/High-Voltage-ESC-Electronic-Speed-Controller-320A-7-2V-16V-RC-Car-Buggy-Truck-UK-/330945906603?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4d0de9c7ab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRIFKILL Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Lipo batteries are more powerful than nimh batteries which came with your car check them out here http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/21028-lipo-the-big-guide-thread-updated-march-10/ I don't think any of those esc's are lipo compatible this one can take both types of battery.http://www.modelsport.co.uk/modelsport-uk-sniper-rv-12-assault/rc-car-products/37403 but if your on a budget I would stick to the first esc you posted but I read it wasn;t tested so your taking a chance the other one is overkill and doesn't give enough info. Just saw this would be fine for your set up http://www.modelsport.co.uk/nosram-international-power/rc-car-products/33361 Edited August 31, 2013 by GRIFKILL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
