Motor timing does increase speed. For the Castle motor it is changed through the ESC. I feel like if you would bump it up to about 22 degrees, it would put out numbers very close to if not higher than the Ruddog. The Castle motor was by far the best balanced which will aid in durability.
I have a ruddog 5.0 40 degrees timing on the motor 22 degrees on the esc with a 13.5mm drag racing rotor, ceramic bearings on 2s 23/90 gearing. I'm telling you it's impressive I have taken out quite a few high dollar motors
I'm guessing the Ruddog was louder because of the large cutaways in the side, which probably add some air cooling. Thanks for the test, that was interesting
R1: yeah we like to keep our quality motors intact Castle: we can squeeze a bit more without blowing up Ruddog: to Scheisse whith safety, whe like a bit of chaos jah!
Damn don't know why but I jumped damn near threw my phone when that cable collapsed & the motor sparked 😂 I think I was watching a bit to intensely Ha Ha 🤘🏼 💯
Great video, I have the 7700kv castle in my drag car now and it moves. I always tried to get an answer from them about the timing in the motor, but now I have an idea.
Lmfaoooo im in the same boat man i have a trinity holshot 3turn motor and an mmx8s ive capped at 2.3 seconds on 2s but the esc is dieing i would just go with the maclan drk 160 esc and the 3.5t maclan mmr motor youll thank me later
Does this device work for testing motors without hall sensors? The manual seems to indicate it does but I don’t understand how it would. I’m looking to test the kv a bunch of smaller drone motors without hall sensors.
Speaking from first hand experience. The 7700 is fast on conservative gearing but will get hot fast. But it’ll hold up. Used to run mine in a slash on 3s lol.
@@kgrc0078 after almost a year, do you have an update with the ruddog/hobbystar combo? I am curious to learn how the esc has held up. Are you only limited to the program card or can you access easier settings with an app at all? On the ruddog being loud, do you feel better bearings from the start would have improved any concerns? Thanks for these videos, keep it up!
On the back of the can there are 3 screws. Loosen them. You’ll see numbers on the side at the back. Timing will be like a pinion gear; higher the number the faster
Does the lower current men less torque? While lower amps may be efficient the motor with the less torque will take longest to achieve high rpm.... the Ruddog will come last in that drag race I reckon
That's a hell of a motor for the Typhon. With that motor you would be able to run pretty much any gearing you want with the light Typhon. At least the gearing you could fit with the motor mount. That being said, the 1717 could handle a lot more gearing in a Typhon. Your best bet is to experiment with what gearing works for your track. The highest gearing you can run doesn't mean it will make it good on your track. Run laps with each pinion and figure out your best average time for each pinion size. Either way, start with 2 teeth higher than your stock gear. Jump up two teeth for every 500 kv difference is ideal. So for example your stock pinion is a 16t and you are running the stock 2050 kv and you installed the Castle motor, you'd want to run a 20t pinion on the Castle motor to get approximately the same speed. 2050 - 1650 = 400.
Thank you! Unfortunately, this testing doesn’t give any idea of the actual torque produced......so interesting results , but not really helpful or predictive......cool gadget.
R1 motors are just over priced rebranded surpass motors. You can get just as good of a motor for half the price in the rocket v5r or the hobbystar pro v3.
