Reedy Mach 3 17.5 1C SS Tuning Question
Hi,
I recently purchased the thread title motor. I ran it last night for practice for the first time and had a couple of questions on how to get the most out of it. My gearing is currently 69/32 with a timing of 30, after 5 - 7 minutes the motor was around 140 degrees. Some people at my track have told me that the reedy likes to be around 170 degrees. What are some of your opinions? I can fool with the motor myself but would like some insight so I'm not wasting my time or potentially causing damage to the motor itself.
Thank you

My measured free spinning current draw at this timing is around 1.8A. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I seem to remember 44 degrees on the can having a free spinning current draw of ~2.15A. I wanted to keep the motor cool for my longer practice sessions without using a fan so I decided to keep the current draw lower. I believe for my motor ~44 degrees was about the ideal performance timing.
Personally I think 140 degrees is a good temperature to run at, I wouldn't run up at 170 but that is based on my preconceived opinion. Others may have experience that says running consistantly at that temperature is fine for the M3's.
