Basic knowledge of RC car for hobbyists (part 2)

Many friends will ask me what brushless motor should be equipped with what brushless ESC. In fact, this is uncertain because of the car models, batteries and techniques and other different factors. And the RC cars central transmission is also a very important factor.

The basic knowledge of the motor

1. T data: the number of turns. The lower the T data, the higher the speed, the worse the low-speed torque, the greater the power consumption and loss. The higher the T, the lower the speed, the stronger the low-speed torque, the smaller the power consumption and the loss.

2. About MODIFIED motor

Modified motors belong to the modified category in the RC car race, and is the highest level of the remote control electric car race - for example, LFMAR's 1:10 EP touring car race uses the modified motor. Why modify it? What about the high torque motor(large power gear box)? Of course, it is for faster and better! According to some experts, the so-called Modified motor, is to make some of the unnormal motors back to normal in a manual way, by modifying the weight difference on each side to be closer to zero. Remember, if you decide to modify your motor, the RC car tools you use must be qualified or it will hurt your motor.

3. The motor's RUN-IN problem

We all know that the engine of the oil-powered car needs to run, but there are a lot of people who may not know the motor will run. The so-called motor running, that is, before the official use of the motor, let the carbon brush and the head of the degree of fit to achieve the best. In this way, the motor can be used in the best time to work. It is said that after running the motor, in terms of efficiency and life are better.

4. What kind of motor should the novice choose?

Many new players, want the motor to be as fast as possible, the higher speed the better. Motor,  as a power equipment, although has a pivotal role, but not the only determinant, the frame tuning settings and other factors are also very important. RC car is not for straight racing. Of course, the higher the linear speed, the more cheers you can get from passers-by, but as a player, your technique and ability can not be improved. And the higher speed means more loss.

I will also want to recommend the RC car accessories like the Kyosho Mini Z RC Cars Parts, which is quite popular among the RC car hobbyists.
