A Couple of Motor Questions

[Gee]

I was going to order this (price is right) but I haven't used my HV4.5 since the ESC locked up and thinks the rotor is stuck. Have a hard time forking over 80.00 to replace the esc. It on special (or closeout) they only have one left.

You may have to hit the novak site to verify the part will fit your motor.

I have 5000kv written down for the HV4400. Debatable by some.........

Thanks for the link.

Ummm......your problem could be inside the motor, if one of the hall sensors has failed. These are at the end of the rotor inside the motor.

They tell the esc rotor position. It will behave this way if they are messed up.

I've read in several places that it will work on the HV4400.

I got the endbell replacement and the new rotor today.

Installation went very smoothly.

I noticed there is a HUGE difference in magnetic strength of the new rotor versus the old rotor. The new one is MUCH stronger!

This should serve to lower the kv rating of the motor, shouldn't it?

Hmmmm..........Looks good though.

I'm going to try this newly configured motor with the MM Pro.
