Milton... down the road a 1/2 hour.

[srislash]

Are the motors actually still good? The 1400's??

I haven't tried them on different controllers yet.Any thing I should watch for Ray?

Milton... down the road a 1/2 hour.

Oh man,I travel that far to run by myself.

Actually it's probably less then a 1/2hr, I'm at Derry Rd and Winston Churchill lol.

Blistering or bubbling of the epoxy wire coating anywhere on the windings. If you have snap ring pliers they are easy to inspect. I have bought replacement snap rings at my industrial supply. I still have a pair of 880kv motors like these.

Scorpion motors has Youtube vids on bearing replacement if needed.

O.k. we spammed his thread enough. Maybe catch up this spring. Wanna buy any boat stuff? I gots lots...

[srislash]

Thanks Ray,I'll inspect on disassembly.And deciding what to do with ESC's.

[Livewire121]

I promised the wife no RC till spring lol. Then I'll start building the Fantasm

[srislash]

Servo,Rx,BEC and motors check out with a Castle Ice2.The Ices will fit nicely stacked. Mmmm,am I going to do this???I don't like my luck as of late
I will still check the motors internally.

I wish you luck, but I wouldn't put in the castles. Now if you wanted to be rid of them, instead of possible smoking them. I'll buy them

Two of them are for the 1717 R-42 build.So definitely don't want to smoke em'.Maybe I should go back to work and think on it for a few days.

It is possible that I got a backfeed from the internal BEC in the one Swordy.It was acting up,well,it didn't seem to be working any way.It wasn't able to power the program box or Rx so I had connected the red wire.I wish they would just stop putting built in BEC's in.What is so hard about a separate one or Rx pack.

[ray schrauwen]

If you use 2 external or internal UBECs together this can happen. If you use 2 linear BECs then they can work together fine as per Scorpion Motors.

Only one BEC power source neded for any one boat.
