RC Car: Aarma Kraton Overheating Issues
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- Took the Aarma Kraton out again to a new bmx track.
I replaced the rear diff housing (diff Bulk Head) as i did break it in the last time i brought the car out.
All was going fine, doing jumps and having a bash, until it cut out.
I did notice that the wiring was extremly hot between the battery and the esc, exspeciallyu the xt90 to xt60 connector.
I struggled to pull apart the conector from the xt60 side as ther Positive terminal had melted.
Ive got a few questions to ask
Didi it overheay from bad wiring?
Was the battery too big for the car?
Was the xt60 a bad choice tio use on the car?
Should i just use a xt90 connector

goodjob on the content, this video made me sub. keep em comin. From Alberta Canada❤❤❤
@@kolasaRC thanks heaps. I hope
To visit Canada soon. It’s on the list. 👍🏼🚗
Man, on 4s it is not recommended to use an adapter, good thing it didn't catch fire
@@make4all2000 yeah I know. I’ve learnt my lesson now. And a bit more knowledge about electronics. 👍🏼🚗
Toppppppp Parabéns
Yeah your issue is the xt60, only good for upto around 80a max especially on what is essentially a 1/8 off-road rig.
That's why I've always used 5.5mm gold connectors on anything over 80a 3s, even bigger than xt90 just to be sure.
Great spot though man👌
Yeah going to have to change the connector. i would say that is getting all the heat then transfering it down the cables to the esc. a small error, but easily fixed. Thanks., yeah great spot, il def get you out there next time for a bash.
yea xt90 for sure hopefully the mostfets are all good still
yeah looks like thats the cause of the overheating. Def be converting it to a XT90
EC5 or XT90, shouldn't even be thinking about an EC3 or XT60 in this amperage range.
@@Matt-mh5ud yeah that’s my error I’ve made. Ive already changed them to xt90s. Thanks . 👍🏼🚗. Need to learn more about electronics. 🤪
EC5, the others are to SMALL.
I'd repair your divets, holes in the track. Or next time you go back there will be a sign that says no RCs allowed!
@@jeremycravens6973 yeah apart from the divet, there were plenty of areas already worn out from the bike tyre tracks as they kept on tracking in the same spot. But yeah I haven’t seen a sign yet. And hope
Not to!. 👍🏼🚗
