esc to motor questions

[Trevor January]

he guys

a 2336kv L should be okay with a just a 120amp swordfish esc right ??

i was planning a 6s a well

kinda high kv 51000 rpm is going to tax your drive system and bearings and kill that motor in a run or two

Alex is right, that is absolutely not an appropriate motor for 6S and is pushing things on 4S with that small ESC. It might work, for awhile, until it burns down.

so the esc would be to small ? the only reason i ask is cause i have a 180 turnigy and i cant seem to get the programing by the radio to work so i wanted to use the 120 till my progaming card comes in i guess it's not worth i'll wait i guess

i have run the motor on 6s and it worked fine i think 50,000 rpm which is a lot should be ok anything more then that would be pushing it a little to much but i guess i have been wrong too

30,000 is max rpm,especially on a single drive.Running twins you may be able to go as high as 33,000.Dont push rpm or things will blow.

The problem with running such a high Kv motor on 6S is that while you may be able to get away with it with a small prop which cavitates a lot, it does not take much more load to go from reasonable amp draw to way way too much. You will eventually blow the ESC and probably damage the motor. Even the most experienced racers do not fool with this kind of rpm except in extreme SAW racing.

Do what you want, but when it blows don't come crying about it here......

Listen to the guys man, running that RPM is not a matter of if it will blow, it's when it will blow. You're asking for serious issues with that set-up.

We have seen a few run 7XLs with 6S and it is insane. The rpm will throw all kinds of havok on the bearings, arm and if the motor goes then most likely your ESC will go and possibly ruin your packs as well.
