DoSLOT brushless slot car ESC testing.  

Thank you for your interest !

Thank you for your interest!

@@brushlessslotcarracing well, I am currently developing a lap counter together with some slot car fans. Meantime it is has got pretty advanced.

@@electronics.unmessed Thank you for your interest!

The car is a 1/24 scale.

That’s crazy, super fast

Thank you for your interest! Can you run 400-600 laps with the brushed motor without stopping and it not needing a rebuild? Brushless motors don’t require any maintenance after doing that. We recently put 3000 laps on cars and brushless setups that already had 1800-1900 laps on them. The braids, bodies and tires are the only things that needed replaced.

I ran a 12 hour enduro on one motor. Which as a wasp motor. Than ran it for half a season. It was too easy. On a 60 dollar motor which was 15 years ago. The only thing I did was break in a set of brushes and switched out the old. To race that half season. Than did a rebuild to finish the rest of the season. I did the rebuild because I wanted to also add a big race in during that season. Now with current slot car motors. Brushless are not a needed thing. Only adds something to the hobby making it less friendly to the budget racer. Brushless are slower, and poor mesh. The average heat for slower cars is around 40 laps per heat. So per race is around 320. Most season are 6 weeks one race per week. Which is the total laps around 1,920. Never really ever needed to do a rebuild or buy a new motor. Nor did the other drivers. I replaced tires every 3 weeks or so. But motor rebuilds or motors of any type any class nope. Unless it’s group 7, or group 27, I’m going to do a rebuild. But brushless can’t touch that speed.

In the summer of 2023 a wing car was run on a King track in Germany, it turned many laps at 1.7 seconds. No rebuilding was necessary after that was done. The car and setup still turns those lap times to this day. If brushless motors were so inconsistent and bad why are they in all our power tools and the technology is getting better in automobiles?

@@brushlessslotcarracing because they maximize the most out of a battery. Since they are more energy efficient. Which when you don’t have a constant power source. Like a slot car track. Brushless is greatly desired. But for this hobby which has a constant power source. That cancels out the need for brushless and unnecessary additional cost to the hobby.

@@sgtwilderness2821 Buying sealed tin can motors by the pound to be competitive in slot car racing isn’t cost effective to the hobbyists. The cost of 4-5 tin cans will pay for a brushless setup that will run longer and be more consistent without any maintenance to it. If you want to run a motor that is designed to self destruct have at it. Keep up on the rebuilds it might last you another 15 years. BTW not all the slot car racers/hobbyists have the tools or know how to rebuild their motors like you do, that’s why the tin cans have come into the hobby. We used tooth brush motors we bought at Walmart for motors long before the advent of the current tin cans….the tooth brush motors lasted about as long too only a few races then poof! Brushless motors run a long time without maintenance.

4 amps on start up that’s all.
