    I have been learning about RC cars for about 2 years, and I thought I new a lot. I'm trying to make the switch over to a cheap brushless motor and you are making it so much easier.

      Optimal RPM depends on the application. 24k-32k sounds good for most fast electric boats.

      That is a significant difference. 2300 vs 3900kv. You'll want to know the potential speed you can hit with both kv options. You'll also want to compare against what others are running.

      I have been able to drift using a brushed motor, brushless sensorless and brushless sensored motor. It really depends more on your setup then the type of motor. A better focus for success is having the correct traction, power and weight distribution.

    The only way I know to figure out the "Demand" of a motor is to place it in the situation that it will be used in. Then check wether the motor is hot or not in the first pass.OR connect it to an amp meter run the boat, plane, car, whatever and see wether it falls into the motors parameters. The thing that throws a wrench into the whole thing is in and out of the water or jump with a car. For example: A water pump jet direct drive for an RC boat. Water jump the boat. The action puts the motor into free run then plunge it back into the water under max load. How in the world to you take account for this action. Amp draw should be on the extream end. Does it happen all the time...NO just when you don't expect it. For example: I have a 40mm jet drive I'm powering with a 4 pole 4074 1400 Kv brushless the boat itself is 36 inch long shallow draft "V" hull. Max. amps of motor 60Amps, max voltage 40V dc max power 2400w. New boat never run with power plant. 1400Kv x 14v.+- = 19,600 rpm. Voltage is OK I am in parameters, Amps draw Don't really know. What is the best way to say OK this is the motor for this criteria?

    Hey, awesome videos. I’m new here and maybe I just missed it, but I’m struggling to sort through motors and I don’t really understand the advantage/disadvantage of the motor diameter versus the motor length when concerning the performance. Is there a reason one dimension would be more important or will a longer smaller motor perform as well as a shorter bigger motor with similar specs?

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  4 роки тому +1

      Welcome aboard! Motor diameter vs length is best to be selected to physically fit your application. In terms of performance, there is not a major difference between a larger diameter vs a larger length. Overall a larger motor in terms of volume or mass will perform with more power output potential.

    • @CommandLineHero
      @CommandLineHero 4 роки тому +1

      @@RCexplained Very good to know. I had suspected, but listening to your point on heat dissipation I was considering if the longer length motor with a similar number of turns would have more space between each turn internally. I imagine that difference would not be noticeable, but I never assume with electricity. Thank you for your input and keep up the awesome videos!
