Differential Fluid Performance in RC vehicles
Differential Oil Different Differential oils provide different performance characteristics. These characteristics can be controlled by the different weights of oil placed in to the differential. The weight of a differential fluid is determined by the viscosity of the fluid. A higher viscosity represents a higher weight oil. Weightings can range anywhere from the low thousands …
Cutting Brushless Motor Wires
Often times the question of motor wires is asked. The exact wire in question is the three motor wires that exit the can of the motor. They can be up to several inches in length down to only an inch or so from the can of the motor. Many would like to know if it …
RC Battery Connectors and Wire Gauge
RC Battery Connectors In the application of electric motors and batteries, connectors play a large role in transfering the battery power to the motor and through the ESC. Not only does it transfer power but it also must be able to break apart quickly for battery or motor replacements. Choosing the right kind of connector …
Brushless Motor Poles – Radio Control Info
When one refers to How many poles an electric motor has, they are commonly referring to how many magnetic poles there are. Many often wonder the differences between motors having more or less poles. Here, we will focus on a brief discussion concerning Brushless motor magnetic poles. Main focus will be placed on In Runner …
Operating Temperature of Electric and Nitro/Gas Engines
Introduction In all powered forms of Radio Control Modeling, the operating temperature of the main driving motor or engine is an important factor to consider for longevity and performance. Depending on the load or conditions the motor/engine must face will determine the correct operating temperature. The operating temperature for a gas, nitro or electric motor/Engine …
