hello again i have decided to go with these batteries: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-5000mah-6s-40c-lipo-pack-xt90.html and connect them in a series of 2, along with this motor: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-sk8-5045-240kv-sensored-brushless-motor-14p.html and the same ESC that i linked in my prevoius post will this work and how do i calculate the range?

For 12s you need a 190kv motor or below or you will go over the vesc 60,000 from limit and for a single motot build a 63** motor is needed. To work out range use this: http://calc.esk8.today

Definitely go with a 63xx motor if you go single motor only

what is a 63xx motor?

6374 for example, it’s the size of your motor or better to say the diameter of the motor. If you go with single motor, I would recommend to go with min 6355 motor. They bigger than the 50xx motors and have more power

so would this be a good choice: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-6364-190kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html and is it compatible with 12s batteries

For anyone curious I should be buying one of these this week and I’ll do a full post detailing whether it fits, with extensive caliper measurements and stuff

Spec page says it maxes out at 10S, if I were you, I would get the SK8 series instead of the SK3 series, they are sensored motors and fully enclosed which helps keep dirt and water out

how many KVs? Im going to be using two 6s batteris that are wired in series

With 12s and 190kv you on the limit of the vesc you want to use. With 10s it would be perfect. With 12s go for 170kV to be safe. The sk8 is sensored which helps you to more easy start from stand still.

would it be better just to get a better vesc?

You could go with a Flipsky 6.6 to not worry about those pesky ERPM limits

Everything depends on your budget. If you don’t want to have problems with the max erpm you need to buy a vesc with hw 6.x like @kalebludlow said. Doesn’t need to be the one from Flipsky but something similar

IMG_20180923_143958 I’m doing a motor make over, how can I pull off the top part of the stator?

hello again i have decided to go with two 5s connected in series. and 4.2 vesc. now i am torn between 200KV motor and 240KV what would you guys recommend?

200kv, 240kv is too high for 10s

Hello,

I apologize if this was posted somewhere else but I couldnt find an answer.

The Turnigy motors are pretty popular so i ended up getting one,

I also ended up getting the:

However when I started to put everything together i realized 2 things, one the diameter of the motor shaft is much smaller than the small pully, and two the motorshaft doesnt have a key. Upon reading around people suggest using a grub screw with loctite to lock the pulley on however i am concerned that the pulley will spin off center.

The motor comes with a bunch of odd accessories that I dont know how to use.

does anyone know if i am suppose to use these?

thanks

Yes it’s a 6mm shaft on the motor, so you will need a motor pulley with a 6mm bore too. Something like this Schau, was ich auf AliExpress gefunden https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/b58nHKCS But it’s for belts till 20mm width, so I guess you need a bit a smaller one.

All the equipment is for installing the motor to a plane or copter. If you have a motor mount you will not need it. Can you please double check that there is a o-ring on your shaft, which hold the can in position? If yes than you definitely don’t need anything from this parts.

If you didn’t have a motor mount yet, make sure the one you buy fit to 5055 motors. Most of them made for 63xx motor and as they bigger they don’t fit to your motor.

The motor pulley you can fix with a scup screw and blue or red loctite, or only with green loctited.

what trucks would you guys recommend for a urban pneumatic build.
