Saabmania2 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi, Finally after waiting sooooo long for my brushless system to turn up I'm having problems connecting them together this is the wires from the esc and this is the motor but they don't seem to fit together, am I doing something wrong it does say to solder the connections but they just don't seem to fit together It it a multiple motor fitting and I have to cut something off??

Alex97 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Take the ones off the motor and push the ones from the ESC on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Make sure to match the right the colours up or it will reverse the motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 My worse was when I put the reciver wirer in the wrong way and spent an hour trying to figer out what was worng lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks guy's just finished wiring it all up inc the wifi module, now just trying to figure out how to programme it lol!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Right all done and connected, just got a couple of issues I need to solve, the worst one is I've got full speed forward but no reverse at all that's a major issue for me as I always need to reverse out of places and my WIFI module isn't working yet but that can wait until later. It could also be something to do with the setting on the Flysky GT3C I've installed at the same time and don't know what I'm doing with it yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi.have a look at the esc manual.you've probably got it in race mode :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Hi.have a look at the esc manual.you've probably got it in race mode :-D Good idea I'll have a look in the morning if I get a chance, it might well be something like that Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanejim69 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well from your pics it looks like you have the Speed Passion Reventon S or Reventon R esc and motor combo. Its a cracking system, especially at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saabmania2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Right finally sorted out the issue with no reverse thanks to insanejim69 and NOFX you was spot on, just got to get the gearing right now I've got an awful crunching noise when putting the power down, it's strange too as they are the same spur and pinion that was used on the car with the silver can and I've triple checked that the motor mount screw positions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is the spur gear missing any teeth ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Is the spur gear missing any teeth ? no I've just spent the last 30 mins changing the spur 55t and pinion 25t (and screws are at position A) to brand new ones and it's still the same it runs silently with the old silver can motor and also take the motor out of the equation the rest sounds really smooth put the brushless back in and it sounds like a bag of nuts and bolts by the way this is in a old TT01 If that makes a differance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 are you sure you have meshed the two gears correctly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 well as sure as I can be I used this guide I have a 55T spur and 25T pinion this is a video of the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Right a small update, i've taken the brushless can out screws are in position A on motor mount re-checked the spur and pinion sizes 55T and 25T as said before so replaced the brushless motor with the silver can and same pinion & spur gears as above motor mounts screws in position A and it dead quiet so gears are meshing correctly, also the brushless motor seems quiet at faster speed, but when you stop and go again it's sounds like it's crunching gears I'm starting to think it's something wrong with the motor but that's quiet when you run it not connected to anything :banghead: this has got me totally confused, I work with bearings and transmission products all day albeit industrial one's but the principal is the same Edited February 27, 2014 by Saabmania2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanejim69 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Totally normal bud, mines is exactly the same. Its just the cogging effect of this specific type of brushless motor.I thought the same as you when I purchased mines, sent speedpassion an email with a clip of the noise too, and they confirmed that the noise is perfectly normal. When running you don't hear anything like that.James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saabmania2 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Cheers James that's put my mind a rest a little I'll see how it goes for a little while it's just disconcerting when you put the power down you get the crunching but disappears when it starts running forward, also it doesn't seem instant it seems to hesitate and very twitchy atm (almost like interference) so I'm going to have to play with the settings me thinks.

Thunderwolf Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 It normal in many brushless motors A lot of it is bad but alittle is fine You can reduce the effect by either fitting a smaller pinion gear or setting the punch on the esc higher Higher punch makes more heat though, which is bad, so try to keep it on the low side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysmini Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Check your motor mount screws. I had some that were a touch too long and as the motor span the rotor would just kiss the ends of the screws, caused a right noise and I felt like a total prat when I realised what it was.

Saabmania2 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Ok thanks for the advise, I will try resetting the punch on the esc and maybe get some more spur/pinion combinations so I can try them, and thanks tonysmini I will double check the screws although that was one of the first things I thought of when I started looking it won't hut to check again he at least I know it's not something terminal It's been a bit of a steep learning curve the last couple of days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on putting this in my Spec r1r build but I don't think I will now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Maybe the extra power is causing the noise as you are comparing it to a sliver can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
