Hi can this motor run on 1 cell lipo thanks paul
 losistrike13.5 2 points
i think it would but this motor from my personal experience is pretty weak and that was with a 2s so if i was you i would look around at some other motors if you are only wanting to run 1s
Pete21  2 points - 12/24/2012
 
This motor has to run with a sensored ESC. Got one with a sensorless ESC and the result is super bad cogging, slow reaction to the remote and slow speed. I'm glad they removed the video that went with it. The guy was putting it on an HG 45A sensorless ESC and had it running fine!!! Sure!

Esse motor rodaria bem com um Hobby King 80A Sensored/Sensorless Car ESC e uma LIPO 4S 20C? Grato

si funcionaria perfectamente, y con 60A tambien, ya que el motor 13.5 en funcionamiento normal no alcanza esos Amperios

Can this support NiMh batteries?
 Ninjatech 3651 points
You can use 6-12 Cell NiMh but , in my opinion you should better use 2-4S LiPo as described at the specs because they are lighter , run longer time and are more efficient compared to the NiMh's .
 Charles 1 points
what amp esc would you recommend using 3s 3600?
 Ninjatech 3651 points
I would recommend above 40A but depends on the vehicle you intend to use it and the amps that draws . I'm using it on a 1/10 monster truck with 60A ESC and draws 36A at full throttle .
 Charles 1 points
Thank you ninhatech. I use this on a 45esc HK and it shuts off after 1-2min. I now need to step up to a bigger. I like the 80amp HK. The Vehicle is Losi XXX short course. with 16/88.

Thanks for your reply. However, I was asking about the diameter of the front bearing that stands out (protrudes) of the main housing and has a smaller diameter than the motor itself. Thanks in advance.

What is the diameter of the front part of the motor that holds the front bearing?

Can i use it with Turnigy 160A ESC with 4s?
 cihanRC 13 points
if you can cool, yes you can.
but it can be hot very quick for 4s system, you must add some fan and heatsink to keep it cool.

you can use it but life cycle ?

Hi all..
am looking for a 60Amp esc to go with this and a program card,can anybody recommend one that will work 100%..

Is the sensor plug compatible with HK Xcar 60A sensored/sensorless ESC ?
 ne143d 10 points
I would guess u can just reconnect with flux

Just an update for people, I received this motor today and the sensor wire is removable on mine.
 ne143d 10 points

Aidan  1 points - 11/20/2011
 
I am running this motor with the Hobbyking sensorless 45amp ESC and am experiencing a large amount of cogging. Would this be fixed by installing a sensored ESC? Or is there something else I can do to make it run smoother without replacing parts? I am using it in a 1/10 touring car with 3300 nimh packs. The cogging was so bad yesterday that I couldn't get off the start line under full power! :(
 Prochase 10 points
it is a sensored motor so it is best to run a sensored ESC that will fix some of the problem but i would upgrade your battery to at least a 4000mah lipo, NIMH batteries just cant discharge enough power alot of the time on take off and that will be contributing to your cogging problem
BEST ANSWER CREDIT AWARDED
 Aidan 1 points
Thank you for the informative reply, I had a feeling it was one or the other...didnt realise it would be both lol. With regards to batteries, the club I run at only allows 2 cell Lipo's maximum. I understand the 'Mah' (milli-amp hour) bit, but what does the 'C' rating mean? Some of them are listed as follows: '4500mah 20C 2S'. Its the bit in the middle I am unsure of. Is a higher number better? Your responses are much appreciated!
 nikemike 27 points
When you have an 4500mah 20C lipo means that the discharge rate from this batterie is: 4,5 Amp * 20= 90 Amps. When the C rate from the lipo is higher you can run stronger engines an your accupack will life longer!!!
 ioanna 41 points
mah x c :100 = amber output for lipos

Would it be possible to take the sensor out of this motor and use it on an outrunner?

Hello,

I have a 35A ESC for my hobbyking 1/10 short course truck.
but my motor has broken, so now i've to buy a new motor.

I doubt between this motor, the 13.5t and the same motor as this one, but than 11.5t.
I want sometimes some good speed, but also drive very. very slowly, so with one click of throttle.
So i think want to sensor it..

Which motor is the best for my car? (it's the same as the slash 4x4)

- The 11.5t ( i thought 3300KV)
or - The 13.5t (3150 KV)

I'll run it on 3S.

I hope someone will awnser fast, so, which motor gives the best results and will accept my prefers.

(sorry for my bad englisch)

Regards,

Marthijn!
 Prochase 10 points
it all depends on your gearing and your club regulations if you race in a club but otherwise i would suggest an 13.5t sensored but keeping in mind with sensored motors they can fail easier in a crash situation hope this helps
 ioanna 41 points
small difference i would choose the 13.5 t more tork longer runtime and if the speed is not enough change gearing. very very small diference .

 ne143d 10 points
Yes that would be a great esc for the motor you asking about. and just about any other motor lol
Ebiker  160 points - 6/10/2011
 
Well, I got this motor and like it but coogs at low speed take off. If I spend more for say Turnigy Mach2, would it be better? (unsensored). I got other unsensored RCs and they don't coog much at all compare to this one. Any advice?
 slots 10 points
This motor looks a lot like the early Novak, especially the sensor/wire and timing ring setup. Someone commented about the output bearing size being larger which is also similar. Does anyone know if its a sintered rotor?
 Smizzaz 16 points
I had one that cogged a bit too. I'm also not a big fan of the case design. Only buy as a last resort.
 ioanna 41 points
yoy should chech the esc or better buy a sensor esc or buy the turginy

hi can any 1 tell waht is differance sensor motor and sensorless motor ?
 mikhail 43 points
when you connect a sensor, it will give you more control at low rpm, making it easier to start moving. if you are running on 2s, you will not see much difference, but if you go with a 4s, it's hard to control it at low speed without a sensor. if your ESC does not support a sensor, you don't have to connect the wire and it will still run
 SIMON.UK 42 points
can you tell me which ESC com with sensor ?
thanks....
 Ondřej 7 points
I use this motor with sensorless ECS and i have not any problem with motor. I recomanded buy this motor, but I prefered buy sensor ECS too.
 Ebiker 160 points
With sensir you'd be able to take off verrrrryyyy slowly and smooooothly. Without it it does c-c-cog a bit on take off.
 ioanna 41 points
all the above and the esc is conected to the motor sosmothe and ... for me if i dont race i prefer the sensorless a litle bit more .
 ne143d 10 points
you can program the motor . not just stuck programming the esc
Ebiker  160 points - 3/22/2011
 
Would the HK-30A HobbyKing ESC be enough for this motor running stock SC10 gearbox? The motor RPM are just right, ESC say 190W which is roughly 24A on 2S, but I'm not really sure.
 mikhail 43 points
if you will be racing, constant power, brakes,then it's not really enough, but if you're bashing, it'll work. that motor has a ton of speed, but no torque though.
 ioanna 41 points
low kv motor on 2s fine on 3s of course not
Ebiker  160 points - 3/6/2011
 
WHich would be better for SC10? 11-5T or the 13-5T. They wouyld draw about same amps no?
 Ivar 20 points
As you are going offroad i would go for the 13-5T. It will give some more torque instead of rpm. Amps will probably be a little lower as well.
 Ebiker 160 points
Sounds just like what need, thanks!
 ioanna 41 points
13.5 t more torque lower amps 11-5t the opposite your choise

Hi! Can anyone tell me the pinning of the sensor-cable? Which pin has which function or in other words how to connect my selfmade ESC to the sensors (Pls dont explain function of the sensor I know what I'm doing). Just want to know where the sensors are and if I need any supply to them. OR... is it really only Hall-effect elements, not Hall-switches? THX Gnther
 GLwagon 52 points
I've seen a sequence chart on Noak's site or on one of the forums... A few of the wires do nothing & some are for temp & other misc. It is a standard pinning, so if you can find what they are then it is a mater of finding the 1st pin... The senders I believe you'll need to send a reference voltage out, 3.3v? I doubt 5v.... good luck.
 brushy 6 points
Thx Gabe Could you help me with some links for the forum (which one?) or Noak's site
 brushy 6 points
Finally found the pinning: black ... GND yellow ... Sensor A white ... Sensor B green ... Sensor C blue ... 10k NTC to GND red ... 5V
 brushy 6 points
Additionally to the last comment I found out, that sensore pins are open collector signals which need pullups (e.g. 4k7) to get appropriate signal values!

looking into the motor, this it not a super quality motor. however, at this price, it does not matter. will use this in a 1/10 monstertruck, and I will probably buy one more of this motor. I have tested this with a non-sensor ESC, works perfectly.

This is a wonderful motor. I run it on a 1/10th-scale RC car with a 19.8V battery. Like others have said, it barely gets warm. I measured the resistance to be 0.016ohm per phase. I use a custom sinusoidal field-oriented controller that estimates rotor position based on the sensors, so was great to find a sensored motor at this price!
