BUDFORCE Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Might not be as hot as you think. Mine felt like that but when I measured it, it was mid 70's. I'm running a gens ace 5500 mah 50c, stock gearing on thev 150a version if that helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 over 80c is where the motor can get damaged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll soon be at 280+ pages like the cranage thread with me in here 😂😂😂😂 LOL alot of my cars do this. After a change to better servos this is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Highspeed fans and esc that put atleast 7.2v is best for hot day bashing. High BEC. in worst case use separate BEC that is better than stock ESC 6v most, that most RTR stock ESC and fans have, will mostly fail if you want more speed ( big motor pinions ) This is easy fix Buy ESC with 7.2v BEC minium, and then highspeed fans both to motor and ESC. change the stock fan to ESC also is great to do. Cheap also Heat is Poison to performance. Electornics dont like alot Heat. High voltage BEC and hight speed cooling-Fans Is very important if you like to bash hard summertime High speed fans and BEC will save you money in the end. Cooler combo, means , more Lipo lifetime, , less service, bearings in motor and close to main diff at motor will need alot less service, LIKE oilchanges, bearing changes too. And so on. The combo self, like motor, and esc that runs cooler will also last longer, maybe 50-100 runs more. You will save alot money and time if you buy great cooling fans and BEC update. Lipos, combos, barings, oils, and so on will be alot more durable with cool combo compared to hot.

Scottyb Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) @m-racingThanks for this, I will check temps when my gun comes, If it's too high i'll look into getting better fans, but i do think i'm worrying about nothing 😁 It's still new to me as my carnage was pretty much always cold and of course this is a lot heavier and faster than that was!

You can feel with finger . No need temp gun if you feel system is cool. If you feel that is hot , then you need temp gun and check out more. Best thing is highspeed fans, ok bec if you gear bigger than stock in motor Anyways Temp Gun is always the best . Humans may feel heat different to others . LAST BUT NOT LEAST. I have seen many temp only motor and esc. You need also take temp of your Lipos. If your Lipos is hot, you need solder better connectors maybe, and soldering great is important too. Poor solderings will be fail. Hot runs Make sure soldering great connections. Use alot soldering. Pre solder , then connection solder extra . Check that you have GREAT LIPOS 25c rating lipos is not great for speedruns and hard bashing Mostly you want 50c or more Me self had 25-30c lipos, these sucks Today i got 55-150c rated And now i have great times with my RC Cars. Less than 50c is for slow rc fly or drones Well good luck all Good luck all RC lovers Edited June 10, 2021 by m-racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for you? However, with a pair of very large plumbers grips I basically just bent it around until it fitted 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep bending my back one so i think it's probably weakened a bit from being bent and hammered back, i've got 2 spares so i might dremel a bit out of one and see if i can double them up lol. I don't know if the extra 4mm off the back will put any excess stress on the suspension tops though 7 minutes ago, Stormbringer said: We were out having a bash up quarry tonight and he broke his VSe lol He had broken the front rear hinge pin holder on previous visit and he replaced it and reinforced with an alloy plate and it broke lol Mines fine couple loose screws to tighten up but fine I got all the "necessary" upgrades come with mine luckily so not had trouble with them 😁 Just keep bending the towers lol, maybe i should learn to drive it a bit better but what's the fun in that 😁 Edited June 11, 2021 by Scottyb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
