Micro Brushless in a 1/12th car?
 

Hi guys, has anyone tried, or does anyone know if a micro sized brushless speedo will work a regular sized brushless motor in a 1/12th circuit car? Obviously it's only running 4.8v so would the current draw be less than a 7.2v setup with a micro sized brushless motor in a small buggy? Just wandering for now guys, thanks for any help. All the best, Chris.

Check out Brian Bodine's Lipo / 380-motor 1/12th scale on page 128 of the BMI DB12R thread.

Thanks for the reply Tom, what I ment was using a 18th scale brushless speedo with a regular sized brushless motor (not a micro sized motor).

Cheers bud.

I would think you would be pushing the esc beyond it's limits.

It might be possible with the 4 cell nimh setup? But I have to wonder what kind of performance you would get?

I know in brushed mode a Mamba 25 can run a 540 Silver Can motor with no problems. But of course this is not a high performance 540 brushed motor or even a 540 Brushless motor.

I have seen a guy using a Mamba 25 with a Feigao 380c 9t brushless motor in a B4 with 2 cell LiPo. So it might be possible?

Cheers mate, it's just with the large size of today's brushless speedo's in a 12th car, well, I just wish they were a little smaller!
