- Measuring Speed for all RC Models — 5 Comments
Have you ever wondered where the power ends up when you slam the brakes on an RC car or use a drag brake on an RC airplane? Energy can not be destroyed once it has been built up in a high speed RC Car. This kinetic energy is converted to other energy forms. The big …
Many RC ESC’s have an electronic brake function to slow down the motor where and when required. For RC Cars this is extremely important as the guys exceeding 100mph would be in the next city without brakes. For airplanes that can cruise back down from a high altitude with no throttle input, a drag brake …
A brushless motor used in RC is actually quite simple mechanically. There are only a few moving parts in the entire assembly. Those moving parts are limited to the rotor containing the permanent magnets and the bearings that support it. When considering lubrication, the only area that could possibly require it is the bearings, right? …
We all know that lubrication is an important item for many mechanical systems. Lubrication simply lowers the amount of resistance between 2 moving mechanical parts or components. A lowered resistance improves premature wear by slowing this process down. Common Areas for Mechanical Friction – RC Car When looking at any RC Car, there are a …
A LiPo Battery packs C rating is a very important specification on a LiPo. It represents the ability for a LiPo battery pack to provide continuous current. Although, the C rating alone does not tell you how much current you can get out of a particular LiPo. There is a calculation for this and that …
