Senton Arrma senton 3s motor upgrade

[Ironman123]

What would be a good motor upgrade for my senton 3s blx I have a hobbywing max10 Im wanting a bit more speed and power

 

[oldguywnewtoy]

I'd go with a 6.0 LS motor, cammed, chipped, bigger injectors, ------- OH Wait, RC motor. Sorry--never mind

Hobbywing 3665 2400kv and run it on 4s.

 

[Ironman123]

I want to stick to 3s if I can

 

[Neelis]

What motor do you have now?

 

[fozzy71]

Which motor do you have paired with that ESC?

 

[Ironman123]

The arrma 3200kv

 

[Neelis]

3200kv is good for 3s.
You could set the punch setting of the esc higher (will react more aggressive to the throttle) and run a bigger pinion (more top speed).

What batteries are you running, a proper 100C 3S battery can also help with the performance.

 

[Ironman123]

Punch is all the way up im using overlanders 50c 3s I run it on grass and dirt would going up on the pinion not make the motor over heat

 

[Neelis]

You seem out of options mate.

4s or maybe a 3670 motor.

 

[Ironman123]

Would I see much difference with a 3670 motor

Heat will also go up with your Punch set to HIGH. Back it down to Default and re gear your setup. Go up 2 Teeth at a time and check temps with your Temp Gun. Only then, increase the Punch if temps are in check and "need" more Punch. With gearing and motor changes I always run my ESC at default Punch and setting.
>>>If you have ESC Timing, drop it all the way down also, and incrementally bring it up, checking temps along the way.

>>>Many are just too quick to buy a new motor, when all you need to do is change your Pinion gear and dial in the ESC better.
Temp gun always in hand.

 

[Ironman123]

Would I see much increase going up two teeth on the pinion

 

[Neelis]

What are you looking for exactly?
10kmh extra?
Non stop wheelies?
Reliable setup?

For now we are all shooting at a moving target. You seem to not really what you do want.

There are speed calculators to calculate the impact of changing pinion.

A Typhon 3s goes about 71kmph with a 15t pinion and 93kmph with a 20t pinion, both stock elecs and on 3s.

 

[Ironman123]

I want it to be quicker then what it is without changing the motor no wheelies or over heating I ring on grass and dirt and bash

 

[Neelis]

I think that in that case you are limited to increasing the pinion size.

 

[Ironman123]

Would going to a 4000kv motor help

 

[Neelis]

Would going to a 4000kv motor help

You just said you don't want to change motor?!
I tried, good luck.

 

[Ironman123]

And you said I would be limited to increasing the pinion size so I would have to change the motor
