If it is smelling burnt connect the program card to the receiver cable and change the temp on the program card, the menu number should be on the back of the card and should say temperature and turn it down and that should fix it.

Now for the ESC to Motor connection , should the wires from the esc directly be soldered into the slots on the motor or should we first solder three wires to the motor and then install bullet connectors to both the wire coming out from the esc and the motor ?
 sharkey9 803 points
Depends on what you prefer. I soldered mine directly because of best possible connection.

I recently purchased this engine and wanted to know which is the right temperature for the motor and esc to avoid risk of damage by temperature. The ESC and motor temperature protection have? Thks.
 sharkey9 803 points
The ESC will cut off, the motor not. Try to keep it under 80 degrees Celsius.

ok, is see. I think i just will try first with my batteries. can you send me a link or ithem number of a pinion gear that will fit? cant find metric 0,6. i noe have 19 teeth. what do you mean with high giring. you would recommend a smaller pinion gear. like 17 t ? or 21?
 sharkey9 803 points
Yes, start with smaller pinions. I can't link to a 0.6 pinion, nothing here on Hobbyking. You need to search your online shops for Tamiya pinion gears or other brand 0.6's.
lloyd  9 points - 1/24/2013
 
hello , if found out. its a TL-01 what kind of pinion gear is the using?
 sharkey9 803 points
Metric 0.6 module. A TL-01 is a simple beginners car so don't go too high in gearing or it could melt your drivetrain. Actually I would not recommend going brushless or LiPo for that model at all. Too flimsy and can't handle that much power. Furthermore the battery compartment may not fit any hardcase LiPo. If I was you I'd go for another car first. TA-05 or TB-03. Or just stay with what you have...
lloyd  9 points - 1/23/2013
 
thnx alot what kind of pitch do I have on my pinion gear? you think or have can i find it out?
 sharkey9 803 points
You need to know what car you have. TA-05 TB-03 TT-01 whatever. Most Tamiya pinions have a metric 0.6 module.
lloyd  9 points - 1/23/2013
 
thnx is there any charger ready for the wall 220\230 v or is theree a charger in the price range in the middel of the (cheap): ACC6 and the (great): iCharger106B and which smaller pinion gear do you recommend to my car? thnc
 sharkey9 803 points
Hi Lloyd, I can NOT recommend any AC-Charger. They're unreliable, expensive and can't load with high amps (within a reasonable price range that is). If you go with 5300mAh batteries, you need a charger that can handle 5.3Ampere. Therefore, your best (cheap) bet is this: Accucel8150 with a cheap power supply like this: 9052000023 or any old laptop supply with 11-18V and a minimum of 50W. For the pinion I can't recommend, you need to test. Start with what you have see how it performs.

can you send me link for good batteri, so i have some running time and a OK charger? I can send a pictuere of my car. if i can send it to your email? do you think the pinion gear that i have fit the new enigne? sorry for all the question am new in this. or what type will i need to buy? an will I need a new battery connections from battery to esc and between esc and enigne? thanks for a the answers.:) best regards lloyd
 sharkey9 803 points
Well, I'll try step by step. Put the codes in the search field on top of this site: This battery: NC5300.2S2P.30 This charger (cheap): ACC6 This charger (great): iCharger106B You need a power supply for the chargers like this: T-20PS And finally you'll need 4mm gold connectors for the batteries: AM1003A Your pinion will fit and if you find it too big just buy some smaller ones.

would you have the hobbyking x-car set we have been talking about? which of the sets are the best? Say if i use my old batteri. i have a 19 pinion gear. what kinds of speed will get? and do you think i need a new gear or will me gear from the fusion modifeid 17x2 fit the new enigne? and if i where to buy liPo packs which do you recommend for my car, an to i need a new charger then? i now have a old 1,2 - 3 Ah charging and 7,2-8,4V (6-7 cells)
 sharkey9 803 points
You definately need a new charger for LiPos. Many cheap ones here on HK. If the water proof system is better or not - your choice! Wanna drive in wet conditions? OK! Pinion gears - start with smaller pinions and see if your system runs hot. Raise gears until your happy with speed and temperatures. You could achieve speeds of 100 km/h and above, all dependent on gearing. Consumes loads of power though...
 sharkey9 803 points
Ah well and for the batteries...you need to know about size. Choose a Turnigy hardcase LiPo, and see if it can fit in your car. I have Turnigy Nanotech 5300mAh in my TB-03 and they fir well. I dunno your car and the size of the battery compartment.

This kit would be perfect for a 1/10 Tamiya car. You can keep all your radio stuff, even your old batteries. Though new LiPo packs would dramatically increase power even further.

Excellent power, even very fast.
But very boring to run the reverse, you have to drive about 3 times to get into reverse.
And mine is having a problem with 3S you walk at full load about 30 seconds and it shuts down the system, already checked battery, heater motor and nothing happens.
Also the engine overheats too, 2s with about 3 minutes he tbm off by heating, is at 68 º* C.
I recommend going for a combo with 4S so I can use 3S battery.
 sharkey9 803 points
You can program the ESC on how reverse works. Standard is brake-stop-reverse. So if you want immediate reverse, re-program your ESC. That mode consumes huge amount of current though.
Yes, I know I can change the system to reverse, but that's not what he said.
What was said:
He does not brake at all.
And even if you stopped the car and holding the defendant, does not trigger, you have to drive about 3 or 4 times to give him a defendant.
If no defect is **** this combo.
 sharkey9 803 points
Ok I see. Did you learn the throttle range? You need your ESC to learn the throttle range of your transmitter. Without that step, it might not recognize reverse/break. It's in the manual.
 sharkey9 803 points
And if your system overheats, try a lower motor timing.
Yes, I've tried everything you said and it did not work.

motor gets hot even when not mounted in 1/10 schumacher car. motor smells burned. Motor does not run at all. Only use one day on indoor track. This can not be the quality of HK?!!!

It could be a bad motor.when anything is mass produced there is bound to be a few bad ones.if it was bought through hobbyking go through the customer service complaint page.It will take them a while but they will give you credit for the cost of the motor.They have always taken care of me!Be sure to give me best answer credit if it works for you.

motor gets hot even when not mounted in 1/10 schimacher car. motor smells. What can be wrong?
Vanitas  4 points - 11/18/2012
 
I am using this combo in my 1:10 car. Previously I used a brushed engine/esc and switched to this one. I noticed a very significant difference on how breaking works - in the brushed engine when i did 'break' wheels effectively stopped in place. When using this combo (I have breaking set on 100%) It needs several meters to slow down to full stop (even from not so high speeds). Is that normal or something is wrong?
 sharkey9 803 points
It is normal behaviour with brushless motors. Brushed motors have a much stronger magnetic braking force. You could try drag brake additionally but you won't ever get a full-stop-brake as you were used to.

3300mAh 3s lipo with this or will it break the esc?I had the 100amp x-car combo in a 4wd truck and not sure if the battery fried it or the esc just died.Fan still runs but no throttle or steering servo.
 sharkey9 803 points
It can handle 3S lipos, the battery won't fry your ESC. Only too much current could.
 RS4MT 44 points
what is too much current?
 sharkey9 803 points
Over 60A would be too much/too high current for this esc.
 kevin 1 points
It will put alot of stress on the unit in the 4wd on a 3s it would be better to use a 2s
 FABIO 19 points
True, 3s is too much stress for a 4wd but you can choose a smaller pinion. Or put a 550 motor hk have those.
Glenn  1 points - 11/7/2012
 
If I run a 3s Lipo, does the fan need to be changed with the increase in voltage? Cheers
 sharkey9 803 points
Yes, it's a 5V Fan so you need to take care of that. A resistor should do.
ecbutcher  5 points - 10/26/2012
 
Do these x-car combos stand up to wet conditions ie mud, rain, snow?
 sharkey9 803 points
The ESC is not sealed in any way. All contacts are exposed on the outside so I would not recommend running it in wet conditions. Should withstand some light humidity though if you prep with some silicon oil or similar.
 snipeworm 37 points
Not at all waterproof! There is a little cooling fan that spins very fast so I would say no debris either! Use caution in loose dirt.
 teolcs 7 points
you could put some fabric over that fan though!
Glenn  1 points - 8/28/2012
 
Can I use a Turnigy nano-tech 5600mah 2S2P 50~100C battery safely with this combo or do I need a higher Amp rated ESC?
 snipeworm 37 points
It depends on the gearing or load you put on your motor but this lipo is able to put out a lot more power than i would expect any properly geared vehicle to demand. I would say go for it
 Ralph 1 points
yes. go for it. not a problem at all

I got this for my Associated SC10 2wd and I run it with 16t pinion and 87t spur. very fast and motor hardly gets warm. after 15 min or so I have issues with the esc stopping for 5-20sec and then letting me drive again. I think it may be overheating even though its only slightly warm to the touch. this is why I rated 4 stars... Otherwise its fantastic combo.

Hi, I put this in an old Associated T3 to give it a chance... At half throttle,if I blast to full, the T3 simply flips.... more than enough power, thanks to the included programming box, I adjsuted to get a smooth acceleration for my small home track... The esc also gives ma some limp problem. I have to switch it off and turn it back on.... so I would not go to the races with this combo...

I installed this in a old Himoto Emxt thing that melted its fan in the 540 brushed motor. From trainer to andrenalin pump is basicly the best I can say.
Motor runs cool and so does the ESC. Only trouble is to keep the thing from flipping and to keep the front down. On concrete it spins, but on grass it just simply flip. Got to be gentle on the trigger.
