jjl5590 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hiya,I'm looking for more speed out of my rig without resorting to an expensive TP 4070cm...Currently run a SSS 4092 2140kV on 6s with no issues.Would 8s break the motor? I think it has a 45-60k rpm/min max speed. Theoretically I'm not going to be going WOT for long periods of time due to space constraints, or if I am it will be on grass. So that should keep the motor RPM down...If the motor does break, would it still be able to brake the vehicle? That would be my main concern!

.AJ. Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Normally the Rotor goes when you over rev the motor, which will more than likely lock the motor and possibly kill the esc This motor locked up and nearly somersaulted a 14kg 5ive-B, luckily I wasn’t on power when it let go and the esc survived 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Kevin Talbot runs higher voltages than the motors are designed for, doesn't seem to cause many issues. Not saying that makes it OK, but if it's a quality motor and you don't gun it with the wheels off the ground, it should survive. At the end of the day, it's down to you to decide if you want to take the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be my main concern! that’s too much for that motor, if you wanna higher speed gear it up, I assume we are talking about 1/8 scale right? motor has enough power so shouldn’t be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
