17.5 freshy tips from Micheal the motor guy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- I brought over a freshy cheap $10 dollar motor to Micheal. He lead me through on what to do to a motor when you first get it. For example my motor came from the factory with no play in it at all.
First he Checks the play and oils the bearings in the motor before really tuning it up.
Also he put the motor on a analizer to get my timing just right. Right at 6 amps
He stated " never trust the timing Marks on the motor" you need to analize the motor to get the true timing.

Patient man. I would hire him.
WOW! Talk about keeping the hobby alive!! This guy is just awesome!!
Good on Micbael for helping indiscriminately. He and others like him are the soul of our great hobby.
Yes they are, sorry for late response.
l love this guy's attitude! Always help out your fellow racers as it will provide them more enjoymentband keep them in the hobby.
Good man there's alot good people like him at the race tracks
Yes he is, he knows his stuff. Onroad racing, when it comes to motors and batteries is far ahead of offroad.
But he took the time to tune a 17.5 for me.
At the time I didn't know it was that far in depth.
Thank you soo much for watching means alot.
I like this guy 👍😁👍
Great video bro, trying to learn some more about these little motors! Great info 👍
Good Video, and way to represent this sport / hobby Michael !!
Good video Mike you are good guy
good work Micheal
It may sound crazy but my cheap $25 Trackstar motor has the closest sensor board nunbers! Only 2 degrees between 1,2,and 3... My Fantom isn't even close to that but is a bit stronger though! A motor analyzer is a nice tool to have!
Those numbers mean nothing on an un-loaded motor. A high Kv motor will not show good symmetry without a load.
thecman26 nothing wrong with trackstar bro. Turnigy batteries, trackstar motors and hobbywing before they became expensive
May I know why aiming for 6amp draw?
Nice demo thanks for sharing this video

Thanks soo much mark
That's what rc is all about!!!
Hi, Some questions to Micheal , i am using a brushless motor checker it can read Current (amps), Volts, RPMs and KVs, no Timming....
1. What Current do you recommend for a 25.5T for better perfomance (maclan mrr motor) to be use in Formula 1 class?
2. What Current do you recommend for a 21.5T for better perfomance (maclan mrr motor) to be use in touring blinky class?
3. What Current do you recommend for a 17.5T for better perfomance (Team Orion VST2 pro motor) to use in touring blinky class?
with the orion 17.5 i push the timing to about 6-6.5 amps and that is in blinky mode: 21.5 with i have the same motor but the team ed. i have it up to 4.5-5 amps but it is 50 degree on can: now with 25.5 mrr with i have im still working on that sill a work in progress.....
Thanks a lot
superandresini to answer your question on the 25.5T motor for the f1 car i would leave the timing right were it is cause Y don"t the the drive train as a tc car. F1 car are a direct drive and it a lighter car. I may go up only 5 more degree's at he most, all I would do is just gear the hell out of it but have a fan on the car
Apparently Michael is unaware of the fact that you can adjust the timing on the motor while it is running.
The bench readings of amperage performed in this video are not accurate, also does not show the peak voltage and amperage or what the sine wave is to understand the load “motor”. The motor is also not under a load and the amp draw will change as the motor takes on heat. Save your money on that motor tester and buy a Fluke 87V and also a Fluke A3002 FC Wireless AC/DC Current Module. The current module is a data logger and can be used with the Fluke Connect application so you get real live data. I don’t advise using the module during a race as it’s extra weight, but for knowing what’s going on with your motor I have yet to see anyone roll like this but I also fix residential and commercial motors and understand a multimeter which I suggest everyone knows how to do when playin around with electronics. Hope this helps ; )
You know this guy could just loosen the cover and turn the timing sensor whilst the motor is running rather than keep unscrewing it and guessing.
I spent 21 min thinking the same thing only to read this, idn wanna be a dick though he may know now... 🤔👍🤣
Regardless of his methods compared to yours this guy is the kind of people this hobby needs. Too many guys won't help newbs because there affraid of new compitition.
@@JEPHRO760 you said it Im not in the rc racing but I do race my sprint car and every year we get a new kid or team and no one will help with even tire pressure it's sad I'm the first one over there shit I'll even lend out my spare motor if it gets them in the race and if they beat me good on them I'll get them next run I'm in it for fun and to win but you need to have guys to run with to win and I'd rather have side by side racing than just walking away with it
Timing goes off when you tighten the screws. It will change as you cinch it down.
@@tiny180 yeah, I ruined my summer in modified after being national champion. The guy I bought the car was champion in modified, he knew his car by heart. 1 year later he told me he would not know the car anymore as he does not drive it. 3 other racers also knew the car or would have had the skills to have a look at my diff. Noone helped me. I ruined all 5 races. Later I found out one shim was put the wrong side in the diff. Then I was thrown back in beginners category, I stopped racing, began with painting, became alcoholic and a rc car collector :-) Ps: perhaps I put it in the wrong order: alcoholic and then I became an abstract painter
Who tunes your motors in NC?
Thomas Stafford. TS3Motors.
He's who I get my motors from and tuned right now.
@@rcvitals Does he have a website? Thanks
…and this is stock folks. Go mod or go home. Now waitin for 1st track/shop to burn down bc they pull stock batts down at 40a and up on 70amps!!! Nuts. -U10
Is Michael still around?
I don't know, we lost contact since speed rc closed. He knows his stuff. He is really a onroad guy.
Does that motor analyzer do 1/8 motors too?
Naw I think its for 1/10th scale motors
@@rcvitals thanks
What current draw would you suggest for 7.5T and 10.5T motors?
with a 7.5T I would leave it right where it is, (alot of motor), for the 10.5T no more then 40 degree's just keep checking the temps after each run no more then 170 degree's on that motor
James Bimmerl
You to say them UA-cam
Can someone tell me how to check for "legit timing" ?
U need a motor analyzer
@@tropicthunderbolt no way !!!!!
nice guys.. rec button push..
Where did you buy the motor from?
rclover828 a guy from china cuts me a deal on them. So for practice that's what I use. I save my race motors.
I wish someone would tune and setup my motor for drag racing
That is awesome
Wish we had a guy around that do this
This is what I do........ basically nothing....lube bearings and adjust timing........and slew a whole bunch of incoherent bullshit
This kid is hilarious! He gets his "Motor building" skills from Nick Adams on you tube. 6 amps Lol That motor analyzer is junk too.
instead of talking shit why dont you explain it better for people..
@@coryjamesc Well, first off I wouldn't prop the guys motor up on the analyzer and check it for sound. He tells the guy his motor is LOUD, then puts his motor on the analyser and pulls the cigarette box out to show him how quite it is? I could go on and on but you probably wouldn't understand.
Fluke A3002 FC Wireless AC/DC Current Module weighs 9oz just to let you know. Data logging is what’s up !
thank you
You welcome
This guy doesn't know what he is doing.
How would I get my hands on one of those "medium" rotors that you speak of?
I depends on what motor, but all the company's have upgrade rotors :12.3 low,mid, high: 12.5 low,mid,high......
for right now put it at 40 degrees on can and y can play with the gearing better. After y make a run of 8 min. check the temp om motor, if it is 100-120 after 8 min and car is fast go up 5 degrees until the temps on motor is about 160 degrees NO more then 170 degrees
you're setting these motors up for a high amp draw .. large tracks .... on medium and smaller tracks, a lower amp draw is better because the torque is way better ...... timing on these are like the camshaft in a gas motor .. bigger cam more power, but a narrow power band at a higher rpm ... less is a wider more usable torque band.
learned something new.
Yep timing just adjust where the power is, not how much power it has
I dont think amps is as important as temp.
Those motors analyzers are cheap and very in accurate and if u gotta set a motor to 6 amps to get power start finding a better motor company!
don't they still sell factory tuned motors??? in the days of brushed motors, you would run them right out of the package. that's what the $100 price tag was for!!!
aerial wheel hey aerial. yea they do. now its called certified. you get a print of the numbers of what the motor is doing. same numbers that micheal is showing in the video. bit yea back in the day thr pros got the top pick of brushes and motors. same as today. bit it sames that the playing field between pros and joes is soo close that the pros dont really have a advantage. thank you aerial for tuning in and commenting.
this guy is a ............
he is not really careful with his stuff
sub'ed
I don't trust the timing numbers.....
This motor has no timing numbers
Lol
even with timing # I still don't trust it it is always off. The checker will give the exact timing on the motor
So many keyboard warriors! So much hate.
Hi pitch sound is picked up different over a mic. They are probably hearing something completely different to whats on UA-cam.
I have no idea what he is doing and thinks he is good at lol
Painful....
