Wouldn't lathed cans be smoother on the bottom end then stock cans?
Yes once rolling. See JRH below. He was correct in his interpretation of my comment regarding low end. Maybe pre-low end is what I should have said. I love the heavy brake and quick response.
So you aren't using the Holmes Hold...just the standard drag brake I take it. Thanks for the response 8)
Standard drag brake.
That's funny, I do the exact opposite. You can pull the trigger about halfway before there is any response.
I like to see my truck lunge forward with the shaking of my nervous finger. You should try it. Jokes aside I've seen guys do it both ways. I like a very low trigger weight so that she goes the instant I need her to. I'm impatient.
How are you going to mount your mini's? I've just left my BR-SL open to the air and lashed it to an electronics plate with lacing cord. But I'd like to shrink wrap the mini's and servo-tape them down except for the suspicion that it would contribute to heat build-up. Somehow running no heat-sink and wrapping them up in a plastic cocoon just seems wrong.
I'll coccoon mine but in a slightly different manner that I've not yet seen. I'll post pics and all will let me know if the idea is original. Hope they arrive in the mail today.
I'll be wrapping them up in a cocoon "thumbsup"
I've been running BR-XL's, Mamba Micros, and Sidewinder Micros like this for quite some time now in different rigs and haven't had the first issue related to heat. I think heat will only become an issue if you like to run full battery packs back to back. Most of the 2.2pro rigs are running something like a 450mah pack so you'd get something like 15 minutes of run time...usually less. So unless you run 1 pack - 15 minutes and then pull it off and throw in and run through another pack - 30 minutes I don't think you'll have any problems with excessive heat.
Agreed. The SMP's get a lot hotter than BRSL's. Will be interesting to compare the minis.
Heat moves faster through the power and motor wires, they are the effective heatsink. The Minis have such a low resistance that it isn't an issue in a comp rig. Wrap em up!
On startup-I think that is what Joel is saying too. Stock 540 cans have better brake, and more abrupt startup.
Depends on whether the thinning effects back iron circuit permanence coefficient (PC) or zero current airgap flux density more. Second order effects can be measured directly. If %KV increase is more than %loss in detent force the startup is worse. Ceramic magnets in a 540 are weak and thick enough, and airgap is small enough, that startup gets better going from 50 thou to 25 thou can thickness. Below this thickness startup gets worse while KV shoots through the roof and detent force falls only slightly.
These rules don't hold up in brushed motors when the KV is much faster than 2100, as brush losses start to dominate the circuit model and applied voltage for startup rises. This is for a regular copper standup or laydown brush. Larger brushes like the P-94 allow for slightly faster KVs before brush losses affect startup.
Damn chinese is what all this is.

With standard Blk shrink OK?
Sheepskin condoms work best.
