My HB-LSP conversion

[tom255]

I made custom motor holders and mechanical brakes.
Spec's are:
Feiagao 9XL motor
TrueRC 10C Battery 5S2P 8000mAh
Gearing 44/14 (TopSpeed about 40mph)
Plane ESC HobbyWing 100A up to 6S lipo

Interesting motor holders you have there! Looks very solid yet you can adjust the gearing (from what I can tell anyway).

So, other than the slow punch of that ESC you're using (I assume it's the same ESC you are talking about in the BL ESC hacking thread), does it work well? I thought a Pistix adaptor (or something like that) was needed for aircraft ESCs??

Nice - I've been wanting to do a motor mount at the rear of my Neu in a similar fashion as yours. Something that would hold the rear of the can at a fixed height to avoid movement and also transfer heat to the chassis. I wish I had a machine shop.

Yes i descide redesign motor holders, read lots of problems with popping out front/back so i descide avoid it solve problem bit differently.
Holders was made from 8mm Al and cut on water cutting machine, whats why those details not shine like on CNC.
BrianG you right this is exact ESC what spoke on ESC hacking thread. ESC works very well, i mean its not heating up at all and have pretty good start no cogging at all. And yes I am using Pistix to control it with pistol type radio.
Only bad thing what its not so sensitive to trigger movement. But if motor started and works about 2sek and you will press full trottle it spin up motor instantly. But once you release it and again to full it spin motor up with stupid delay its about 0,5sek but its enough to feel it. I think this feature made to save plane motor gearboxes.
Exept this the chinese ESC quality is realy good for $65! I wish what they will make CAR ESC with same spec's
BTW i mailed to them with that question do they plan to do something becouse here is lot of potential customers. Only few brands have HV ESC for car.

So, do you think that the "delay" is from the pistix module or truly from the ESC?

I'm working on a HV controller for us car guys LOL.

for $65 like the chinees one he has???

I wish I could say the price would be that, but a software for car use is much more complex that for the aircraft controller. I'm still waiting for an answer from the engineer to see if he will send me a 100A 10S lipo controller with the car software.

nice conversion.....like the tight packaging and the mechanical brake option.

Today I am got replay on my email from my Plane ESC manufacture about CAR ESC's so I will hope that they will do something Descent!
Becouse PLANE ESC is truly Nice:
Replay is:
Dear Sir
We will public the new CAR ESC 120A 90A and 60A.
but it will wait 10 days. so your problem is easy to do it.
best regards

Pan from Hobby Wing is something else. That was the first company I tried to get, but now he doesn't even reply to my e-mails. I even quoted him on some components that he was having trouble getting for the Pentium 100A HV controller and nothing.

New update on my truggy
My objective shave weight off and use CAR ESC so descided to use MambaMax and 4S
This time no mech brake, lets see how it performs
I replaced stock arms to Kyosho ST-R
replaced CVD's because Kyosho arms are shorter
Removed rear bumper.
Redesigned and made new battery box, I made it pretty big in case if i want to use different LiPo's
Made compact all in one RX box (temp sensors, volt sensors, bec etc)
Bought two new Zippy-R 2500mah 21C lipos why i bought 2 smaller lipos just in case if i want use them on my Buggy conversion
Bought MambaMax
Bought totaly new radio system (NOMADIO REACT)-realy nice to get feadback about volts and temps
I plan to use 46/18 gearing but bought 17t pinion additionaly for gearing tuning

Before my truggy wight about 12.6lbs now 10.3 and its on fully RTR with bats
And now some new pics

Wow, I didn't realize there is a transmitter out there that would show the voltage of the battery pack in the car.

I think the module even shows RPMs or MPH, but that was on the Sensor.

Edit: The React shows Speed.

You can do this on a specktrum to with the elec monitoring kit
