Do Brushless Motors Require Oiling or Lubrication?
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? …
Using Oil or Lubrication on your RC Car
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 …
How to verify the C Rating of a LiPo Battery Pack
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 …
Parallel or Series for a Setup using 2 LiPo Packs? (RC Cars, Airplanes, Boats)
There are many RC’s on the market that are setup in such a way to use 2 LiPo battery packs. Theoretically, you can have any RC Airplane, Car, Boat, Helicopter or Drone setup using 2 battery packs. However, it is fairly common that RC manufactures would setup higher powered vehicles in this way. In this …
How Many Batteries are used in an RC Jet Turbine Airplane
Jet Turbines are simply an incredible part of RC. However they are also quite complex to operate. One of the most important parts of a Jet Airplane is the batteries that exist on board. How many batteries does a typical RC Jet Turbine ? Well there are (hint) quite a bit of batteries that exist …
