When I was looking for cheap escs i found the fvt120 from bangood was about as cheap as they came. I run it on 6s and it works ok.

Did the esc hold up ok as that was about as much as I wanted to spend.

13

Will get that one shame the one I have is only 4s other wise would have used it. Just need stock to arrive back now on motor and get some prototype printed. Can’t wait.

Hello new here and looking for some help and info. I have brought a drop through board to use as my base. I have several rc so already have a controller and esc 80a 1/8 buggy one. But I ordered a belt which has arrived 265t 9mm belt also I ordered a motor but think I have ordered the wrong one as seen people say sk3 so got one but think I have got the wrong kv as its a 2836-2500kv is this completely wrong? Will it even work or should I just send it back and get another one. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately wrong. You should buy a motor below 300kv and maybe even below 200kv for good torque!

Check this thread… It will help you tons

19

I have a choose of motors a sk3 5055 280kv or 6364 245kv what would people say.

20

Go with the 63 64

21

Use this to help calculate

22

Yea used one of them earlier get about 23-25mph but obviously loose a little when in use.

23

Yes that is why you add 70-75 efficient numbers

24

Yea I added 60% as I’m not in an area that’s got the best payment or roads. Still get 14-17mph but looking at different size wheels and what gearing to go with as will be printing my pulleys so can play about with the ratio

25

Hobby King are out of stock of the 6374 245kv so seen this one is it any good compared to the sk3

26

Or do o get the sk3 6364 190kv but get less speed and probably less run time. But it’s on back order anyway.

Shaft size is not 8mm

28

Is that much of an issue bearing in mind I will be 3D printing my first lot of pinions. Also have a pillar drill is needed to drill an ally one.

29

It’s all abt the parts and getting them…if u have a pulley that will work the. By all means

30

Yea will design and print one for now but have found a 15t pulley on eBay in aluminium with 10mm bore so can always get that.
