Inside look of my hobbystar 4092.

I am by no means an expert on what the inside of a brushless motor should look like......... but I have a feeling this isn't it.

Ouch.. how many runs and what gearing? I'm staying away from these - I know some guys run them with good results but I suspect the ones on YouTube who do get cherry picked parts because it seems like 40% of the people here have issues

I've ran this motor for maybe a year. Its the 1730kv motor and I ran it with a 20t and 19t pinions. It's surprisingly still functional, it just gets really hot really quickly. It's always overheated on me since day one.

Looks like its been used for a year. I say clean it as best you can, check your bearing, replace as needed and run it till she blows.

Looks better than both my 2050's out of my 20 day would Outcast and 35 day old Kraton.

Just ordered a Max6 and 4092, 1480kv. We'll see how she runs.

Any recommendations on cleaning? I spayed the whole thing down with contact cleaner. I'm assuming that's about all I can really do.

That and maybe some low pressure air to loose any debris.

Wow, those motors sure did get crusty looking fast!

Guys , if your looking for a good 4092 size motor , defiantly look at the TFL SSS motors.
the quality and performance is great from a Budget motor.
i run one in my typhon and its a missile.
I will be doing abit of testing comparing the SSS 4092 2140kv and a TP 4060 2200kv. Both motors 40mm diameter and 92mm in length

The SSS motors wqindings are alot tighter then that in the picture of the hobbystar.

If anyones interested, I will show pictures once home.

sorry, still not great at all this stuff lol.

For anyone US based OffShore Electrics is a good source for SSS motors. Good bang for the buck. TP Power is close in cost also.

Yes thats true.
I paid £54 formy sss motor, about half the price of a tp 4060.
But thats because i found a cheap seller luckily lol.

So far i like this motor.

 

[Cr3pitus]

Aren't those motors 3mm mounting holes? Did you drill and tap for 4mm?

My 1480kv motor isn't doing well either. Haha.

Crusty.

Is that motor new or used that's in the picture?

Did you ever compare them? I've got an SSS, wondering whether to get a TP

 

[rcnut]

Can you change the connectors
