Need a motor

[ilpufxit]

Maybe it was just a fluke. It was running great until it stopped, no gradual slowdown or anything. Went from screaming along to twitching in about three seconds. The endbells are pressed in this one but I'll drill one out to see what happened.

I'm almost finished installing a 600XL that I had from a previous project. Looking forward to a test drive tomorrow & I'll post the comparison review.

I have a 14xl that I've ran a few times and it performed like a champ.

The first xl feigao motor that I ran and it really surprised me.

If the feigao is a smooth can you can remove the rear endbell by just taping the shaft on a block of wood and it will pop the rear endbell off.

I run a 14xl on 8s lipo and it has great temps, 160 max after a 45min run. I think the cheaper motors just cannot handle the current a low wind can pull, they just seem less effecient that a high wind on more voltage.

That's what I like about this forum, saved me time again. I opened it up and there's surprisingly little to see. Looks like the coating on the windings heated up and then sort of powdered. No burns, contact marks or visible melting though.

So I just ran my 600XL. Worked well, stayed cool. Not the same punch as the Feigao motor, not too surprising but what did surprise me was the top speed. It was noticeably slower. I thought that with a higher Kv motor and everything else the same I would get more top end.

Is there anything I should do with my motor settings on the MMM for the 600XL?

If it is running cool, raise the timing and see what happens...

Not sure on the kv difference between them but it could be possible that the higher kv with your gearing is pulling more ams than your batteries can supply. Try dropping a tooth or two on your pinion gear
