Brilliant testing and great to know the results. Maybe next try the same tests on a faster brushed motor - say 23/25 turn or better and brushless motor where possible.
Tamiya battery connectors are terrible and wear out and become lose. This will cause a major loss in power and create variables in the amount of current available between each connectors lose/tightness. Tamiya connectors can damage the esc, stop using the Tamiya connectors and start soldering quality connectors.
Very nice video, it was in my suggested feed from the RU-vid AI, I liked it a lot and I have subscribed! Very well presented, I agree about everything you said, and I have the same favourites, ha ha! HW1080 is my all time favourite, both for crawlers and buggies, but recently I started buying ESC70 and I have been very happy with them. You asked about that Rain ESC, I had one and it died first time I ran it, it was a 15 turn motor and a Tamiya DT-01 buggy that killed it, and to be fair, that combo also killed a HW1060, ha ha!
I've just killed my Tamiya hobbywing 1060 in my Tamiya mf01x chassis. I fitted a 23t pinion, TL01 high speed gear set and I stiffened up the rear diff with silicone ear plugs. So yeah....I think that was all too much for it. 🤬🤣 I'm now trying to find an esc that'll be able to cope with these mods.
Hey mate, I've been running a rain 480 in a WL TOYS A979 for a few years, it's the only ESC I've put in that car that hasn't fried itself and still going strong!
So helpful my question is better repair compactors or get another oh its brushed i bought online from Walmart for like 12.00 or something and brand is Bdesc-s10e- rtr 2-3 lipo -5-9 nimh bec 5-v 2a xijaia0206 bought in September last yr what happened was i used two nimh 1500mah it went very fast but then it stop working lol i knw too much power oh my car is a fast and furious doms 1/12 charger it has dual 380 motors ftont and rear so whats best advice u can give me to be able to tun this vehicle thank u sincerely mike from Redford Michigan
Please forgive me if my questions sounds stupid or ill-informed but I am new to all of this and have much to learn. I am building a crawler with a real time camera mounted on it to use for crawl space inspections. The intended purpose for this vehicle calls for low speeds, forward and reverse. I am understanding that I need two ESCs to drive the two separate motors on my tank chassis. I actually have two pair of ESCs. I have two Hobbywing 1625s and two New Rain 160As. First question: Which of these would suit my purpose best? Second question: I've been told that I must switch the master controller on first and then switch on the slave unit. I have a master switch on my battery pack. Would they work just as well if I bypassed the on/off switch for each and let them power up together when I switched the battery pack on? And the last question: If my receiver is powered from another source, should I remove the red power wire from BOTH of the ESCs? Oh. The receiver that I plan to use is the Flysky FGr12B, if that makes any difference. Thank much!
I'll try to help : either pair of ESCs will work fine because of the extreme gearing on a tracked vehicle. If you have a separate receiver battery, you should remove both red wires because both ESC's will deliver receiver power through their BEC. For the next bit I'm not a 100% sure but the 'master-slave' thing you mention specifically applies to brushless ESCs - I think.
