New HobbyStar V2 Motor

[dure16]

How'd you get shipping removed??? Mines still on there when I add the code.

I just checked as well and was also confused. The code seemed to work on a motor but not on a servo. Even if the total price was similar.

Yeah, it worked on a 3674 I was eyeing, but not an ESC.

Apparently just for specific items.

Still, you can get a 6s system shipped for just over $100. Not a bad deal.

When I placed the order and went time checkout. I put the code in the checkout promo code box, and it gave me a discount.

Sorry, I should not have said to remove the shipping so I still paid $0.99 for the shipping.

15 percent off the order. He's just looking at it as paying the shipping and then some, probably.

Yeah it looks like it only applies to certain things. So when I first added a few things that weren't eligible (which I didn't see written anywhere) into my cart, I was puzzled that nothing showed up.

Pretty much a HW max 8v3 with g2 programming, should do well with flexibility in a Typhon/Jave. Motor leads are wonderful, my only minor complaints are Xt connectors and no underneath mounting holes or tabs on the ESC.

For $120 shipped in 3 days it’s a no-brainer.

I just received my order. I gotta say, I'm also disappointed with the ESC's. The mounting holes would've been nice.

 

[dure16]

ESC mounting holes are overrated. I have never had an ESC come loose while using this stuff. 2S, 3S, 4S, 6S, 8S cars all use that for my ESCs.

Agreed, I usually throw a bead of e6000 down between 2 strips of double sided tape for elasticity because I run below freezing temps.

 

[Garcbomber]

Fun wiring, the 4292s will probably require an extension. This was designed for an inverted setup or adjacent motor/ESC.

Finally came from China after 4 weeks, tracking was stagnant for a week. Wife and kids are gone for the weekend, RC Christmas


$73 for the 160A Firma Wide Mojave, expecting cooler temps than the 4092 1650 same gearing.

Get the program card right away, the factory settings don’t have enough punch for air control(laggy instantaneous response). Extremely happy with the power and temp management without motor fan. 90 degrees here, tall grass, ripped 15/46 gearing back and forth gradual full throttle the whole pack and ended up 150 hottest Motor/120 ESC.

 

[Garcbomber]

4985 is a nice little low end torkster, now requires 20M in the center as 1M isn’t cutting it with this animal. If you flick the throttle often aluminum is a must and obviously why Arrma put one on the factory fireteam, probably 200* internally Fahrenheit at the end of the run. 20/46 can probably take a couple more teeth and still crawl, ideal for 6S backflips and my SBR 2.0 circumference.

Tucked them in from playing, tee time in the morning.

 

[Garcbomber]

Ended up 16/46 punch 5 gp5 diffs, needs timing adjustment with turbo and boost on the low end of a heavier rig along with PWM frequency deviation. Would also recommend a fan upgrade on LWB and XLWB applications. At 15* motor timing you never want to exceed 100 degrees of overall boost/turbo. In the end, extremely happy with this combo. Have about 20 packs through, still dialing in the suspension and alignment as I have a TLR block adjustment set now.

Good grief, the minimum you can set motor heat protection to is 120C? That's essentially 250f. But that time your motor is already cooked! Almost seems pointless to have motor protection at those levels..??

Granted, we are usually referring to external motor can temp. So it's probably hotter on the inside, and I'm sure this is referring to internal temp monitoring. But I've generally seen that anything over 200f on the magnets is when they start to lose their performance and degrade.

 

[Garcbomber]

I've had a couple v1 motors for a year over 200F regularly on the external temp IR on the can, in fact they seem to perform better with power over 160-180 degrees. There is some fine print somewhere stating they're tested to not delaminate until 280, haven't burnt one up or had bearing failures with 5 total now. I do have my esc set to slow at 95C instead of 105 stop, had a stick lock up the esc fan one time out and it functions as intended.

There is some fine print somewhere stating they're tested to not delaminate until 280, haven't burnt one up in a year with 6 total now.

Idk, could be. I have seen motors reach 200f and be seemingly fine, but anything around 220f and beyond every motor I've seen get there loses performance. Had a buddy get one of his motors to 260f iirc. Still held together, but it was never the same again, with noticeable power lost. And always was more prone to overheating every time out since. Maybe hobbystar has some secret sauce to better magnets or rotor wraps...?

Regardless, I love the variety of programming options they offer. Would love to see more companies offering those as standard!

The new motor looks good.

I wish someone would hack that sensor port so it could communicate with Spektrum telemetry receivers. I’m just not smart enough.

What cable does fit the Hobbystar temp port? Eyeing a 4292 for a Kraton. And a HW Max6. It has a temp cable.

No idea

Thanks sorry to bother an old thread
