Yes, but what spur and what internal ratio are you using to determine that?

What brushes and spring you've on this setup ?

Hi Bryan, i use sprint brushes with medium springs (i think) ..its the ones that come with the Hara ver. Also have good results using Reedy Ti armatures..

Hi Glide !

oooh ok! thanks. I have one 10x1 hara i think. still in the box and will try it soon when i get the chance . Will that endbell fit other cans too....lets say yokomo can. I've noticed that orion has released v2 endbell kits for top can, yokomo and epic can. I was thinking of using the endbell from my motor (top can) on a yokomo based motor. Anyone tried this ?

Default V12 XC and the Hara 12x1HS

Hello!

The schottky diode (GM1535) gets really hot just after a few seconds. When I try to run the motor with out the diode (50-60 seconds) the power capacitor, esc and the motor gets hot.

What can be the problem or is it a problem??

This is the first time I run lower then 14 turn motor.

Does the diode only get hot when you run the motor? or just when you turn the speedy on?

It could be the diode is wired in reverse. Make sure that it's wired correctly, the diode is polarised so there is a +ve and -ve side. The +ve should go to the +ve terminal of the motor.

Just out of interest, how are people fitting Schottky's to the V2?

Soldering across the brush tubes, or mounting on the motor wires?

I mount mine on the wires it's the Novak shotcky on a GT7, much easier to deal with.

Hi Bryan, you should'nt have a problem using the V2 endbell on most cans, almost all motors are yokomo and top based so should be ok...

Just out of interest, how are people fitting Schottky's to the V2?
i have a TC2 esc and use the GT7 diode, solder it across the pos. and neg. motor wires.

TIP- i dont have a pic but will try to explain: if you are familiar with the novak shotkey and have taken the shrink tubing apart, you will see that the actual diode is mounted on a small pc baord. Solder the +ve side if the diode to the +ve motor wire CLOSEST TO THE MOTOR and the -ve towrds the esc. Soldering it the other way around caused my car to glitch!!

speedo wires here too...

Question about reduced brush surface: you get less drag and overlap, ok, more RPM, ok... but don't you get less torque too, since resistance is inversely proportionnal to contact surface?

trfracer: by how much do you reduce their size (percentage-wise), and what shape?

Thanks,

Paul

Hey! Do you need to cut very deep after 35 runs ? I've got 3 of them but not run them yet.
