Iain .R Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi all I have a brusless motor on my carnage and I think it's not working right so I'd like to buy a cheap brusless motor just to put on the carnage with all the add ons iv added to the car to see if I can get it to work so only thing left it's the motor . Iv looked on ebay and plain cheap motors £15 take like a month to arrive or buy the cheapest I can find at £30 + So I'm hoping one you guys will have a spare I can buy to fit and see if my motor is bust / not working right .

Bert_w164 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) I might have a 2845 in my toolbox, I'll have a look later. Edit: just read you're after an actual motor, for those of us not in the know of this RC car, it may help to let us know the size of the motor can 👍🏽 Edited April 8, 2021 by Bert_w164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap and rc doesn’t really happen, even at the FTX budget end of the spectrum. Can’t believe how much trouble you’ve been having with yours. If I had a spare motor you’d be welcome to it. Hope you get to the bottom of it soon. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Is it, "cogging" at start up, by any chance? Sort of hesitating and not leaving smoothly? If so... it's not the motor, its the cheap ESC. Get a hobbywing, buy once, cry once (they're not actually even expensive). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain .R Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 Hi thanks for the post guys. I just want a motor to plug in and seeing it runs any better than the one I got its not going to staying in there just one run or so then out it comes As for the esc I have tried 3 types now and it's not working on all 3 so it's the eac not the motor I dont get that sorry . Its cogging and stuttering and then it works on short grass long grass wont move at all . On the road or gravel it's a complete nutter so dam fast if I turn to quick it does like 3 somersaults (broken body post to prove it lol) I have swapped all the spurs and pinions so all its left is motor .

Bert_w164 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Iain, Try and find a forum member local to you - I've lost count of the amount of posts/threads I've seen whereby you have troubles with this car. Or perhaps explore costs of sending the whole kit to someone to check it over/troubleshoot for you. Shame you're not local or I'd have a look over it and see if there's anything we can do! You may well end up spending £xx on a motor you don't need...instead there's probably a helpful soul on the forum not far from you who'll be able to help you out!!!

Hi thanks well in in cardiff so if there is anyone you know Iv swapped so much it has to be the motor (all that's left ) but as its perfect on road and grave I dont get it ??? I'm looking at a other brusless set up . Not hobbywing even the last set up and this set up now it no where near the cost of a hobbywing . So I cant afford it I just want it to run for a while till I get chance to buy a hobbywing set up As a car sitting on the floor for months till get the cash seems pointless to me get it running for now all I want lol .

Thanks What KV motor are you running and on what gearing? This sounds 100% like a gearing issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Busby Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I can send you a motor to test for sure. Send me a PM, but your issue sound very similar to the one I had with a Gool RC ESC, that was fixed immediately by switching to a different cheap one.

Hi yes it was 100% fine on the standard 65T spur and 17T pinion brushed . Then I put in the brusless set up with the 65T and 17T and it would not work I upped all the program settings to try and see if that would help nope.. So then went thro the diffrent pinions 16T 15T 13T then I changed the spur to a 49T and 13T pinion Then 11T 9T iv got a 10T which not used lol as it came in the packet 9and 10T As I went down the spur and pinions it got better when I put the brusless in at 65T an 17T it would not move at all Then going down the sizes the car stated to go . Move . Then i was told it was the esc was not strong enough at 45A By this time I was on 2s lipos 49T spur 9T pinion 45A esc on flat road /gravel the car was going like stink On short grass it would pull off after 1 to 2 secs not moving chugging stuttering then it would go nutts Put it in long grass (size of the wheels) wont move cuggs stutters goes forward about half inch wont move at all have to give it a push with your foot then it goes . Now I have 2s lipo 49T 9T pinion and 60A esc still does exactly the same as above no difference between 45A and 60A hench I want to try a diffrent brushless motor to see if it's my motor . I did check the 3 wires to see if there was any crap in them but they nice and clean and tight .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
