Hi guys,
just purchased an EXB and have a question about gearing. It’s currently running:
TP4050CM 2300kv motor
Max 6 esc
12t pinion
50t spur
I’ve only run one 4s pack (all I have currently) through it just to check it over. The run was only in my garden but used quite a lot of full throttle (purposely) and braking (set to 25% on esc). I got my temp gun out after about 15-20 mins and the temps were:
motor - 180 deg F
Esc - 120 deg F (not sure where to measure this but that’s the hottest part I could find!)
LiPo - 110 deg F
motor temp seems quite high but have heard the TP motors run hot. I have a couple of questions I’d appreciate some advice on:
Am I undergeared which is why the motor is too hot?
Would running 6s increase those temps much? Don’t want to fry the motor if I do run 6s!
For info, checked the mesh and it’s not too tight and I don’t have any fans on the motor currently.
any advice would be much appreciated.
TIA guys.
