The thumbnail... I have not yet seen you with that kind of smile. I don't blame you. I'd be happy as hell too with the Limitless hahaha ***I started this whole RC speed run thing a few months ago. I've watched many of your videos and learned a ton! Thank you for all your videos!
Dood seriously tell me about the power outputs and amp draws. I’ve been trying to find a way to drive my electric motors using them to spin my turbine for balancing from a wall plug to dc power supply but basically good luck with that lmao
how many wants do you need to spin your setup to maintain constant speed? I typically balance EDF's at a relatively slow speed. Faster speeds just amplify the unbalance determined at slower speeds. Being able to balance at slower speeds makes it a lot easier and safer in my case.
@@RCexplained I should rephrase. My plan was to use a wall plug source to power the turbine as a compressor for the combustion Tesla turbo jet in making. Doing the balancing doesn’t require a lot of power though relative to operational needs. Especially with Nikola Teslas high speed dynamic balancing patent 186,799 that most don’t know about. It uses particular resonant modes of a mass spinning on a flexible shaft, where the heavy side of the rotor is ALWAYS on the outside of the whirl orbit. This way you can drive it at an odd multiple or submultiple of the critical rpm and effectively balance any rotor.
@@RCexplained but to be accurate… I have 4x 2200Kv 6s Traxxas e-revo BLDCs on the turbine now. The rotor is like 9.35lbs lol so it needs at least two of the motors to get it going because of a lot of cogging at start up. My latest turbine dyno test clocked in at 4.25kW and ~5.5 ft-lbs of torque at 8000rpm with just room temp compressed air. And I have it geared up to the 4 BLDCs at 3.0666:1 so I’m dang near maxing out the torque/amps on each of the BLDCs and I haven’t even added heat to the motive fluid yet 🤤😂🔥😈
I have done 728AMPS with xlx2 on 3s
Amazing! Well done.
@@RCexplained thanks
Holy Moly, 728A!!!....dang, here I was afraid of getting too close to 600A lol.
@@rcbustanut2057 💪🏽
650amps on 4s easy…but slow, it takes time and distance to spin the gears past 130

Thanks Anthony! This car is a lot of fun. It makes hitting a decent speed extremely easy. Glad you have learned something from the videos.
Thanks for all your amazing videos!
Glad you like them!
Nice one, valuable info. That motor is no joke, I pulled 520A on 8s going 147mph, had to gear down since things were getting pretty wild.
Awesome, that's a lot of power!
@@RCexplained Most definitely is!
Can mmx8s handle 300-375amps without issues?
Do high amps draw mean that system is performing
In drag application ?
Hey man great info. What do you think would be a good drag gearing for this motor with a Xlx2
Probably nearly anything. This motor has tons of power and will pull lots of current.
