Novak HV4400 and 7XL BL Sensored System...

[Red350DropTop]

Well, I finally converted my HV-Maxx setup to a sensored 9L.

I had a very hard time matching the timing of the motors just based upon hooking up the motors. It probably has to do with the can size, though Artur didn't mention it with the C50 motor. I probably spent 2-3 hours testing amp draw. I got it matched pretty well I think.

It was very dark when I ran some GP3700 6 cell packs though it. I was running my HV at 12 66 gearing. I am going for cheap here, so I drilled out a set of pinions for the 9L (it is a C can with a 5 shaft) . I ran 18 70 for the 9L. Wasn't extremely impressed by the top speed as compared to the HV, though it was dark. Controller was warm after a couple of minutes. Tried some GP3300 7 cell packs and it really picked up in speed. After a few runs with it, controller wasn't too warm, but motor had picked up some heat.

The brakes are too touchy now. At this moment, I am using the traxxas radio, and coming off full throttle to brakes anything over 1/8 trigger = flipping it on the lid. Artur, how were the brakes on your setup? I have a MX-3, need to get crystals for it though, but I will have to change the EPA if I want to drive this thing. I was being so conscious of not trying to flip it over, I clipped a sidewalk and broke all mounting screws on the plastic skid plate and bent the ears of my T-Maxx frame down. :019:

The HV-Maxx motor is pretty heavy, if I decide I like the setup, I will take the heat sink off to try and save some weight.
