I really hope SMC brings back their short course motors though. I like my 4500kv enough to have a spare if they'd restock lol.

This is true.. haha. For the price, it's a bit scary. I'm hoping for the best.

You might shoot them an e-mail and ask.

SMC sends out their stuff pretty tame for endbell timing. I would up the endbell timing a bit. Can't recommend how much because I don't have a motor analyzer. Test and tune.

Yea, saw that. My 6.5 came in at around 20 degrees. I'm trying to get wiring done so I can run it. I'll time as much as possible them use esc to make any other adjustments.

Here's my dyno result for my 6.5t. I would say there is not much significant difference except maybe for the 40 degrees.

How does it compare to big dollar stuff?

I can't make that comparison yet. I'd need to get those big dollar stuff first.

It's not a business for me so when I get a chance to obtain more motors, I can make those comparisons.

1/8 scale is comparable to Higher end stuff, such as Orion, Tekin, and superior to LRP and Trinity (based on quality)

Wondering the same here.

Something is wrong with that result. It's impossible for a motor to produce more torque at a higher rpm and somehow less power.

the smc esc firmware... is it chrome compatible because i get nothing but black screen?

LA-2-AL 10-08-2017 01:32 PM

Black screen when you do what??

I downloaded the widget via chrome,, but you don't use chrome to program the esc, you use the widget,, sorry if I'm misunderstanding your question

It's windows driven. Will not open in a chrome book. Not a problem. Would just be neat to have the option of using from pad or phone. Send me a linkee if you have it that works with android/chrome please.

aaah,,, I used a windows 10 Laptop PC, I'd contact SMC see if it's tablet or phone compatible..

good luck
