RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

You've probably got to change the position of the red lead on your multimeter. If you look on your multimeter, it probably has 3 red ports and 1 black port. If you take a pic of it and post it...

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

You're welcome =)

So what you have here is a parallel setup. You're looking for a series set up. To get it correct, when you look at your diagram, it should look like a circle.

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

The answer is it depends.

Some of what it could depend on is how much money do you want to spend, is the motor likely to be used in a situation where it's better if it is disposable (like mud...

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)

you can run the motors singly, or you can run them in parallel, or you can run them in series. For the motors I've done, I find that somewhere around 1/4th...

RE: Li-Po for Newbs

As far as how to treat it, yes it's a good idea to run a "form" charge on lipo's, 0.5C charge 2C discharge for 3 cycles, and allow the pack to cool down between cycles to something like 80F

RE: Help on Charging two packs Lipo

sure, no prob. Yeah things can get complicated quick. A good investment might be a couple of those cellpro chargers. They don't run too much, and they do a great job charging packs.

RE: How to convert an ATX power supply to rc use

sure thing. FSP group makes a good PSU for about 40 or 50 bucks that would be able to put out what the label says. If not, I'd just look for something that's more along the lines of 16 to 18A or...
