I think my IR temp gun needs its emissivity set because it was only reading 130 but to my hands it felt more like 150-160, and my "man" hands have become pretty good at discerning motor temperature. The HV-110 also stayed under about 120-130 deg, and the Lipos didn't break a sweat.
Next up is to gear the Medusa down two teeth, that should make a huge difference in temps I hope. But with the 14t performance was incredible! Was drifting on the street with Phaltlines... |
The temp diff was due to the very low radiativity of shining metal surfaces. you can stick a piece of black tape and try again.
