Senton Brushless compatibility

[Jothy.07]

I have a senton mega but it is brushed I've been looking at some brushless motor and esc combos and one has really caught my eye its the Hobby Wing Ezrun max 10 with a 4000kv motor but I'm not sure if it is compatible electrically and physically can someone do some deeper digging cuz I'm not very familiar with the gearing or sizing of rc's

Personally if I’m going to upgrade to brushless or upgrade my brushless I’m going to get a castle motor and esc no questions asked
So if your looking for a good brushless system I would go castle
But horizon makes good motor and esc combos
If your looking for a esc and motor I’ve got a couple

I have no experience with Hobbywing motors but I have a Quickrun ESC for my k6s and I really liked it. Had no problems with my Hobbywing ESC.

Im not sure whats the difference between the mega and the v3 but I hope the mega can be physically compatible (sizing and gears)

 

[chazekxt46]

the v3 mega has the blx diff's so it can handle 3s but still has 48 pitch spur. i run the 48 pitch still but i run hr metal spur.

No issues with the slipper?

Small motor. How are the temps?

You will need to upgrade the slipper. The 3s pinion and spur gear will destroy the stock Mega slipper pretty quick. If you stay with a stock Mega pinion and spur, be ready for melted teeth. They're not designed for that kind of torque.
Also, get a drive shaft bearing and support.

I upgraded my granite mega with a more powerful version of that combo (Max10 SCT)
Only thing that wasn't compatible was the pinion, you need one with a 5mm shaft.
And surprisingly the spur gear is in perfect shape after over two months of use on 2S. Now I upgraded the slipper and got a 3S, it's super fast and takes the power quite well.
So yeah, it can be done

I have the Ezrun max 10 with a 4000kv in my V3 senton with Granite tires and a 18t pinion and it flys.
