Hi there,
I have a Limitless that I was having issues with the ESC cutting off (ARRMA BLX185 6S).
I thought it was a bad ESC - so I bought a Castle Mamba Monster 8S - which doesn’t have any overheating issues.
I melted one of my motor wires - because the motor got so hot (no temp sensor currently).
I got some advice that the reason I was having heat issues is because I was ‘over’ geared. I had a 27 Pinion and 34 Spool gear.
I then reduced to a 39 tooth Spool gear. So I am now running 27 Pinion and 39 Spool.
The motor I am running, ARRMA BLX4078 2050kv, has plenty of power for me - but if the better approach is to upgrade the motor, even to 8S, then that is okay as well - altough I would prefer to use the stock motor “mounting” location ideally.
Note - I have lots of battery combos - so using 6S or 8S - either will work without having to buy batteries.
NEED YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BASHING
Is there a heat sink / fan combo that will work with my BLX4078 - that has a high possibility of being able to bash without overheating / melting wires / cutting off?
—That will fit under the body of the Limitless.
—If so - please let me know. Links are appreciated.
If I go ahead and replace the motor - is there a “packaged” (motor, heat sink, fan, possibly temp sensor) that will similarly help me avoid the current over heating issues I am having?
—That will also fit in the stock location and not require modifications (I.e. holes) in the body of the limitless.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ANY RECOMMENDATIONS YOU CAN OFFER!!!
SORRY - I meant to post this in the Electronics forum.
I’ll have reported there.
