Were starting a brushless class this fall at the stockton RC track..
It wll also be a class for the upcoming region 12 carpet champs.
For club racing we'll be running 7 mion mains and no tc/sedan bodies.. evttes, 350z's, bugatties etc to make it rreally different.

Yes, he's correct, the problems have been solved, and rarely are an issue any longer. The rotor situation has also been resolved. I have only seen One of the new design fail. Any rotor failures are generally handled as warranty due to the fact that, "That should Just Not Happen", unless the motor and ESC are severely abused or damaged.
Generally speaking the temperture shut-off is not an issue when the vehicles are geared correctly, but yes, just like any motor, it can be overgeared. The Temp protection will help prevent long term damage, but should not be relied on for Gearing adjustments. We try to gear based on the Temperture of the ESC. I like to see temps around 160-175F at the end of the run.
Thanks Guys,
Charlie

BT- Well "overgeared" means running to large of pinion, and yes, overgearing will cause pre-mature overheating.
You can "Undergear" or use a very small pinion and have no additional heating issues. Usually geared low, you will see less heating overall.
Runtime can effect the heat if it is overgeared, geared correctly for the application it will reach a temp and kind of stay there for the duration of the run.

Awesome......thanks for the detail information..............but those systems are really WAY up there ($$$$$).........
I am using the Schulze U-Force 75 with my basic 4200. Runs well, temps stay in control and the power is pretty good. With proper gearing this setup can keep up with 10 turn motors.

I have been running the 5800 in my xxx-s for a year without a single problem.
Just start with a ratio of about 7.3 for a tc and work down. I was running mine with a final of 6.86 but now that i got some stickier tires i am up to about 7.16

About the new Reedy /LRP ESC brushless system.
It's sensored system.
Does anyone know if they work with the Novak system?
By looking at the ads I think that the Reedy motor is slightly more powerful than the SS5800 Novak, it would be nice if we finally got mix'n match brusless system, (at realistic price).

The Novak bruhsless package is less than 250 at Tower including shipping, the Reedy/LRP combo just slightly more.
Gentlemen, my prediction is: The brushless motor has come to stay.

The future of electric i say
I agree with you on that one all those motors/escs you mentioned are noname,i would never buy a Lehner,Hacker,Schulze motor/esc
I have heard rumours of a Novak 6T motor coming out,has anyone else heard this before?

I would buy them, IF I had $$$$$$$ burning holes in my pocket.
But to spend most of my yearly "budget for play" on things I'm not sure work together or even fit in the car. No way. I'll buy the things that I know fit together and fit in the car.
