Oh right, Jon Lewis. lol...at the beginning of the video I was thinking, "Jeez, K-BASH sounds just like Jon Lewis...". Yeah, that would be a Neu motor. 1539 if memory serves.
Yeah, someone just posted this in another thread. Brutal hit. I'm almost willing to bet he'll be back. He did ask people to like and subscribe right before saying, "I'm done with speed running forever...".
good $hit right there
I don’t know much about shimming but had to shim my 4070cm when I replaced the rotor. I noticed the two rotors had a slight difference when set into the can. Basically shimmed to limit movement but not bind. I’m not sure there’s any other benefit that I know of but would like to discuss it3640scm motor,2 pole 36×74mm motor with very high kv.....running a pinion gear bigger than motor......
@LibertyMKiii what can you tell me about shimming a motor...I'm guessing it's the movement of rotor through can????I'm sure there's a optimal sweet spot...
I didnt think there would be much of any advantage.said he had slowmcmike shim it for him..probly more critical on a 5000++kv motor....Mikes doing something besides putting packs together to run the speeds he's running...some of my motors have 2mm+- play in rotor...I'm doing the SRCM thing this year trying to run good #'s on low volts.having a blast doing it...I dig the very fine tuning part of the hobby
I do believe he has tinkered with shortening the winding coming out of the tp motors as well. Since the wire coming out is the winding it changes the kv.
Jesus man. Lipo batteries are no joke. I always treat them like I'm arming a bomb...and this is why. Don't have confusing battery wiring in your car. If you have single leads, always take a few extra seconds when plugging them in. Go slow and talk yourself through what you're hooking up to what. In the aftermath you could see what happened here. He connected the positive lead from the ESC to the negative lead of the left battery. He just got confused by his own wiring.
Crazy right....happen to anyone of us fast...I noticed his red,black wires where confusing an he had red ,black mixed up...wonder if esc still works.gotta be very careful when not running plugs like myself...I would only run plug if I was running over 6s ..little to none sparks on 3s....damage connecters quik on hi volts.used to cringe hooking 8s up before qs8 came along
The irony being, his wiring wasn't even short. I run a mix of QS8 and bullets. QS8s on my batteries, bullets on my parallel and serial bridges. I did however make QS8 parallel connectors for quad parallel at the battery end so that my wiring process with my harnesses remains the same as with dual parallel and I always talk myself through hooking everything up out loud.It is more efficient (can do shorter wiring setups) to run bullet connectors, but I run QS8 for the safety.
Yeah man. Having a system is half the battle and keeping the process the same every time is key. But just as important is to never view hooking up batteries as "routine", no matter how often you do it. Be mindful, pay close attention to what you're doing, verbally talk yourself through each connection and take your time. If there's one thing you really don't want to bunge up...it's this. It's difficult to wrap one's mind around how much power/energy is stored in these little bricks.
Yeah, this video kinda weirded me out where Jamie Morrison spun up his 1721 without a pinion. Watch what the shaft of the motor does. Is it just me or does that look like excessive movement? Video time coded to begin where he spins up the motor.
Wow that was a lot of movement!
