in tampa we race at ss raceway hobby on Saturdays, come by. tell me you are coming and Ill bring a mini pro dyno.

I appreciate the compliment. I work in servos and brushless motors and have for awhile. that means I have had to overcome allot of problems and I understand the language and science. The important part of that statement is dealing with problems (not me). there are brilliant guys all over this forum that have encountered more problems than I in RC. Practice and experience in RC will beat science and language all day.


out of circumstance or ego some people find themselves in a battle over motor knowledge with me (not my choice but I’m also not perfect). there is no good way to get people to listen. you are either in that mode or you are not. everything changes eventually. If everyone felt invited to talk so that I could listen I would be happier than I am. Because this is why i come here. i listen. That’s my advice. listen long enough and you will be able to hear gems. don’t get irked by someone who isn’t listening and exchanging ideas (but it will happen). You might even twist the screw on someone that should get allot of respect for their experience but s**t happens and their is always a chance that something better comes tomorrow. maybe a really experienced friend who listens and has a new found respect. I am on both sides of that coin.


here is a great document that I scanned quickly that might help

i’ve seen quite a few posts from others on good stuff. My suggestion is take it slow. one piece at a time. start with power, then torque, then heat, then timing, then field weakening. electric motors aren’t like a car engine but they have some common themes. then KV, then ohms law (maybe start there). you get nothing for free with an electric motor. You always trade one thing for another because almost everything is an extension of ohm law. which by law forces one thing to be exchanged for the other.
