Senton Brushless Upgrade for base Senton 4X4

[Nerrad]

Hello, I know this topic has been bashed to death. I'm pretty new to this and have grown tired of replacing my stock motor that burns out when you look at it. I've tried running 2s lipos and even the stock NiMH batteries with the same results. I have just purchased a brushless system from HobbyKing, the system is:

ESC Specs:
Continuous Current: 80A
Burst Current: 95A
Resistance: 0.0009ohm
Battery: 2 cells Lipo (5-6 cells NI-xx)
BEC output: 6V/1A
Motor type: Sensorless brushless motors
Running mode: Forward only or forward with reverse (user programmable mode)
Dimension: 43 x 38 x 20mm
Weight: 88g

Motor Specs:
Model: 3650 Sensorless
Kv: 4000
No. of Poles: 2
Cont Current: 45A
Peak Current: 55A
Max Power (15sec): 370W
Winding: 16T
Resistance: 0.0125ohm
Weight: 180g
Diameter: 36mm
Length: 53mm
Shaft Diameter: 3.175mm

Includes:
80A Sensorless Brushless ESC
3650 16T (4000Kv) Brushless Motor

Will this be a plug and play system using 2s LiPO batteries or do I need to upgrade some driveline items? Please talk (type) slowly as I absorb the information given to me...LOL.

Looks like a good combo. It wasn’t too long ago that people would use 35 amp esc’s and motors. For 2s lipo it’ll give you no issues, just replace stuff as they break!

That’s gonna be a little slower than the BLX100/3200kv setup of the BLX 3S rigs, but it should be Similar to the BLS setup of the Mega line.

Hi,
I would go with 120A ESC.

Darren,

That system shouldn't destroy the driveline based on the power output.
Motors in the 3500-4000kv range tend to run great on 2s. I would be cautious of motor temperatures. Especially so being the summer season right now. If you can slip a heat sink on that motor it will help some.
(get a cheap IR temp gun off of Amazon)

Thanks for the feedback. The new components are capable of running 3s. Would that make it run hotter or cooler? What are the factors that make something run hotter than another setup?
