Volcano EXP help
Hello folks.
Im pretty new to RC cars so please bear with me. I put a new<span style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">EZRun 12T 3300KV Brushless Motor and a</span><span style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">EZRun 35A ESC (1:10 / 35A) into my sons car and I also got a Volcano EXP Pro. My question is why is the Pro smoking the EZRun? The only thing we changed in my sons car was the motor and the ESC. Is it the ESC or a gearing problem? Any help would be appreciated. My son is pretty disappointed that Dads car is faster.<br type="_moz" /></span><br type="_moz" /> |

The second is that the pro (and this is cause of the 540 motor) has a ezrun/hobbywing S-10 ESC. I read somewhere that it is either a 45 or 60amp speed control. So you have a ESC that can provide more amps to a motor with more torque. Again, Im assuming you have a current version epx pro....and that both trucks are using the same battery and gearing. the epx with the new system is much faster than the stock brushed right? |
RE: Volcano EXP help
Both motors are brushless, the EZRun motor say's(<b style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">Suitable for[/b]<span style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px;">: 1:10 RC-Car, using 540 size motor) but doesnt say it is a 540. and yes the Pro is alot faster.</span>

RE: Volcano EXP help
right, both are brushless and the outside is the same size.....but the one you bought is a smaller rotor on the inside.
Its possible your radio calibration is off and its not going full throttle. try recalibrating. Can you confirm the pinion gears are the same size? The original brushed motor may have used a smaller pinion than the epx pro does. that would make a difference. even 2 teeth less will result in a good 3-5mph slower. |

RE: Volcano EXP help
Yep, different size pinion gears,
17T on the EXP 21T on the EXP PRO Anyone know what size pinion the<span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(251, 252, 255);">caldera 10e uses?</span> <br type="_moz" /> |
