Walney-Reptiles Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Hey there so i bought a baja prime 2WD buggy on friday and it arrived tuesday, after i put the jumper onto the 3s position on the esc and i have been useing it on 3s lipo since, all is fine but im wanting more speed, i would like to change the motor instead of the gears.. it says on the internet that the WP-1040 esc is rated at 40amp and a burst current of 180amp, i was thinking of sticking a 15T brushed motor one of them £8.99 ones but im not to sure if the ESC will handle such a motor any pointers Welcome im not that knowledgable on brushed motors, and cant afford brushless for the time being, plus it was only £100 so id rather stick to brushed motors for this. Cheers guys!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasRC Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 A 15t brushed motor on 3s lipo will burn out real quick! I had a 22t and killed it in 5 minutes.. Sent from my BLA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Ditch the brushed an go with a cheap goolrc brushless combo... You can get them for less than £30 all in.... Or for better performance.. Get A better hobby wing 10bl120 and a 4300kv gool Rc motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be OK with the lower kV motor though....I presume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you were just unlucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
