So i got a cheapo goolrc combo to stick in the Mammoth - 60amp esc+ 4300kv 4 pole. With the goolrc esc there was so much cogging it wouldnt even pull away, if you gave it a push it flew once it got going though.. I ended up going massively overspec and put in a hobbywing max10 sct (120a) esc. Much better now, very very little cogging at all from a standing start, and its now mental fast even on 2s.
Just need to sort the gearing, which is something i know naff all about. Stock brushed pinion is a 13T. With the brushless setup, the motor gets a little warm, but is still touchable. How can i tell if im over geared or under geared? I have an 11T, 14T and 15T pinions. Am i best off trying the 11T first? I think the stock brushless mammoth runs with a 13T pinion, but thats a 3500kv motor. I'm guessing that at 4300kv, i want to go smaller rather than bigger on the pinion as the 4300kv will have less torque?
