Timing Explained for Brushless Motor and ESC’s (Low vs High)
Brushless motor timing is critical to its operation. Without the correct amount, a brushless motor may not operate efficiently or even at all. We will be exploring timing for brushless motors in this article. A few key focuses will be on what does brushless motor timing refer to, advantages of low and high timing, and …
Comparing Combustion Engine and Brushless Motor Performance Fundamentals
Combustion engines and brushless motors serve the same purpose in the radio controlled scene. The purpose of these two technologies is to provide the main source of mechanical power to drive our boats, planes and cars forward. In this comparison we will be looking at 4 different parameters. These parameters will include output RPM, physical …
Compare Equal Size Brushless Motors with Very Different Kv’s
Brushless motors come in many different winding choices. These winding choices are critical to the specific application that you are looking to place a motor in to. However, did you ever wonder how a brushless motor is able to perform equally in terms of power when Kv is changing? Continuous Power Output Limitation The first …
Are High Voltage LiPo (LiHV) Batteries Worth it?
Lithium based batteries are everywhere in RC. The performance that we are able to get out of these packs are incredible compared with all past battery technologies. Within the last few years a new style of LiPo based battery has emerged. It is known as the Lithium Polymer High Voltage battery pack. The pack is …
What Kills a Brushless Motor – Current or Voltage
This may not be all that common, however, brushless motors can fail. There are many people out there that have seen this happen first hand. What makes them fail electrically really only comes down to two parameters. Voltage and Current. In this article we will break down each parameter. Does a Motor Fail Electrically due …
