  • In this video we combine what we have learned in previous videos to select a brushless motor for a 1/8th scale buggy.

    Three items must be understood before selecting the motor:
    1) Application
    2) Target Speed goal. How fast do you want the vehicle to travel?
    3) What LiPo cell count will you use?
    Once these are known, the next step is to learn a little bit more about the RC application. More specifically about the internal transmission details.
    From here we can calculate the kv we expect to use and determine the physical size of motor required.

    If you’re planning to race on 4S, just get a 1900 - 2100kv 1/8 scale motor. That’s the standard range used in 1/8 scale electric buggy racing. If you’re just bashing and want to attain a certain speed, this video might be helpful for you.

    I have a 1:8 buggy I am trying to convert from nitro to electric. I want to run 5S at first using LI-ion batteries, and potentially upgrade to 6S lipo down the line. I have the motor mount and the roller chassis. I want to just bash it and have fun for now. What motor and ESC combo should I run? Thank you!

    Hey buddy, is it possible to couple two (identical) brushless motors on the same shaft? Of course with separate esc on each of them, same input voltage, possible?

      If everything is identical absolutely. You do need separate ESC's and such as you mentioned.

    So, I converting a gas car to an electric car, is a 1/8 bougie and I don't know if is okey to use a 3300kv 1200w 15v 80A motor, is it okey for some kind of mix terrain use?

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  3 роки тому +1

      It also depends on the cell count used

    Hello i have a question:
    Is the same calculation if use a Ni mh battery? Thank you

    • @RCexplained
      @RCexplained  4 роки тому

      Yes, however I would highly recommend going with a LiPo battery pack vs NiMh. LiPo's just have too many advantages over NiMh.
