got tired of the arrma speed controller not listening to me. bought the sidewinder 4 SCT kit, paired with the 1410-3800kv motor. it is everything a proper truck should be now. its also got a spektrum Rx in it now too, my transmitter is a spektrum dx5c.

im going to throw the 3200kv arrma motor back in once i get some motor wire extensions so i can actually get it installed with the new ESC. im interested to see which motor i like better with the new ESC.

here are some pics! i couldnt find very much of anything for the BRCC when it came to different motors and ESCs, enjoy! videos soon!

Just watch your temps. I ran that motor in my Granite and it would get hot. It's now in my Senton.

yeah it does get a little hot, says its safe to 180C, but thats super hot! i will be putting the arrma 3200kv back in untill i pick up a 1415-2600kv or something.

ill put the 1410-3800kv in my TRX-4 or something silly

I ran a 1512-2650 for a while but it just kept breaking the wheel driveshafts. I ended up moving it to my Rock Rey.

Can you get a heatsink for it?

ive seen fan shrouds, but no heat sinks. i could modify the arrma 3200kv heatsink to fit though, its just a bit to long.

id rather go bigger motor and shorter gears.

See I knew there was a reason I've yet to install my MM2/2200kv in the brcc lol

the 3800kv is a blast and a definite upgrade over the stock setup. if i can manage to keep the temps down, and it has enough torque ones summer and traction comes around, id run it forever.

i have yet to break any driveshafts, knock on wood, i have replacements ready though.

i hate the shocks though, i snapped an upper eyelet and im having trouble finding an aluminum replacement.

Ok so im not liking how my car won't go when i want it to and sometimes it wont back up at all, dose this sound about right. Would a dif ecs change that

A different ESC should get rid of the delay. The backing up issue is universal to all ESC's. You have to be fully stopped and then back to neutral and back to brake. Every ESC is like this.

So is it the motor or the esc

 

[hybridfire907]

I have trouble getting into reverse sometimes but it’s just my finger and the transmitter. To reverse typically have to engage the break return the trigger to nutral and then it will reverse. Sometimes I don’t get it all the way nutral after the brake.

The blx100 is lame though, it won’t apply full power if it doesn’t think it should. I highly recommend replacing it.

I am not sure what you are asking. The message you quoted doesn't really jive with your question.

Ok now im getting somewhere. The motor seems to have lots of pwr, what would be a the best esc to go with

As long as you run a sensorless motor like the BLX 100, you run the risk of cogging. If you want to guarantee it won't cog, you need a sensorless setup. And then you lose waterproof status when you sensor lead is plugged in. Is it really that bad? Can you shoot some video?

Can you explain a bit better about unplugging the sensor wire, sometimes when i get hung up it wont back up at all

When i take the motor off the chassis rolls freely no resistance

My understanding is that if the sensor wire is plugged in and water gets in there, it will screw up the motor. If you don't have it plugged in then the sensor module is inactive and water can't harm anything. You don't have a sensor wire to worry about though. As far as not backing up at all, what do you mean by hand up? And man we jacked this guy's thread.

I'm running the Mamba X with the 1415 2400kv motor and it's the sweet spot for me on the granite. On 2S I can run pack after pack after pack and it will never get above 115 degrees. Even on 3S I rarely get above 137, and I'm using the 26T pinion.
I'm guessing you will like the way the arrma motor feels better.
