need help with converting a hyper 7

[BrianG]

Linc, aren't Hyper8 tires closer to 4.25"? That can make a substantial difference.

Also, what is the deal with such a high kv? Is the goal for a fast buggy? (I don't want to read through the whole thread - I'm lazy ) Besides, a pinion that small will see faster wear. Depending on exactly how fast you want to go, I would shoot for a slightly lower kv, something around 3500-4000 and use a larger pinion - something in the 14T range.

see post #12...

also, isn't the motor wye wound instead of delta so it would be ~a 3500kv sensorless motor?

I'f anyone is looking to trade I'm open...

Yeah, that is true about the tires...

As for the motor, he can get it for 40 bucks... I would try to sell it off and make some money, and then buy something lower kv, like a medusa 60-70mm motor with kv around 2200. On 4s that can take 14-16t pinions and run in the mid 40s.

If you want to sell me that motor I will find a use for it...

well, since I'm in the market for a new motor, what does everyone recomend? no NEUs or $150+ motors please


if nothing else I'll keep it and sell my 540 novak 10.5

the HV found its home in my slash I though at 5000kv it would be ~13.5, its closer to a 7.5


BTW that was just a mock up, I have all the wires right, and some 32p gears on it
