Thanks for the info.
Iīm not sure but maybe just removing the fan, itīs still to high for using in 1/12 scale car with those low height bodies. Iīm just waiting for my 1/12 scale car to arrive so donīt know exactly.
Now I saw after looking again at the picture from the eZRUN ESC there are screws on the heatsink. Someone knows if itīs possible running the ESC even without heatsink as itīs possible with some other ESC like the LRP Sphere.
Motor will be 9.5T brushless on 4 cells. Or did someone run the ESC in the 1/12 scale already?

I would imagine that you could run without a heatsink, but with a fan. or maybe, if you had some kind of air duct, a single small heatsink (like the kind used for RAM chips in pc's)

argh soz about being a retard . had a big night last night and my heads still out of it from the tequila lol .
i worked it out now and got it going forward properly . but i still have a problem when i pick it up and just let the wheels spin freely in the air it absolutely flys but once i put it on the ground it either doesnt move or it just jutters along . is it something wrong with 1 of the esc settins like with the program card? any help would be nice
thanks

On a 3 phase motor, it doesnīt matter if itīs our brushless motors or a big AC motor, it really is just necessary switching 2 wires if the motor runs backwards. It doesnīt matter which of the wires youīre switching. Of course this is just right for sensorless motors/ESC.

Well as requested here is my 9t 35a combo installed in my 4wd offroad.
MR4-BC belt drive.
The install was easy.. size was great.. start up is good.. I used just the default settings and I would not say it JUMPs.. but maybe thats the fact that the motor is not super over powering for the car.
I took it out and ran it.. I like the power.. the acceleration is good.. not stupid.. but this is going to be better than the brushed motors I am running.. so I think for what I paid.. I am going to be very happy with this.
Tonight it was about 10š outside - and I ran it up and down the street pretty good for 7-8 mins.. I picked it up and put my finger on the motor.. just warm.. so vents are working great.. yes it wont be that cold racing.. but I was zoom-ing er.. and not past warm.

Thanks for the info Bikerbob!
What brushed motor equivalent would you say it feels like??
So overall, you'd say the 35A with 9t if geared properly should be able to handle a 4wd 1/10 buggy right!?

I would agree with what others have said.. Gearing.. and surface.
If you hvy load this 35a 380 motor.. I would say your in trouble. Now the ESC has a temp cut off.. but it can't draw heavy current over a long period.. So loose dirt, sand, long grass etc.. your not going to see good power and you might strain it.
I think I will do just fine on carpet indoor offroad.
AT WORST - you get an esc you can use with Votex or Speed Passion or even Mamba motors - and a motor you MIGHT burn out.. but hey its a $40 motor??

finally i got this thing setup and i have the 60a esc and 5.5t in my tt01 . man does it fly , the tires balloon like crazy and even with them glued on they rip off every so and so lol . im really pleased with it i just have to get the new steering setup for the tt01 because at high speed this thing is uncontrollable lol . and it seems to loose the back end to . any 1 got an idea how to fix this on the tt01?

program card
OK dumb question. I am new to the brushless thing. I know how to hook it up but what kind of battery do you hook into the program card to program it. It says not to use more than a 6volt. I guess I need a crash course on these.

Guys,
2 things -
1- regarding changing wires, has anyone done it so far? the stock motor wires are stiff as heck, which makes it a pain to cable properly in some instances... how does one proceed to change the wires?
2- Has anyone tried one of the ezrun controllers with other more mainstream motors? I read swhere that the ezrun motors were delta-wound whereas all the more common others (orion, sp, LRP, ...) are star-wound... can anyone confirm?
thanks for the help,
Paul

manual tells you not to get part B and C mixed up. has anyone actually gotten into trouble connecting the battery first before the card?

manual specifically says unplug the battery and remove the esc wire from reciever, plug the esc wire to the card and then plug the battery.

BTW i treid this esc with brushed it is quick but brakes are forward as well
