What is boost timing?

Boost timing is timing which is dynamically added from a set point in the RPM band. Depending on what you've set usually starts around 4500rpm in an onroad application. Usually you don't use boost in offroad. The boost timing is in addition to the can timing. So more boost = more power and heat.

What does timing on a RC motor do?

Motor Timing Explained. If you have a sensored brushless power system, you've probably noticed timing marks on the end of the motor's can. They indicate a range of stator/sensor timing that adjusts how the motor's RPM builds throughout its powerband, and you can adjust the timing to suit running conditions.

What is ESC Turbo?

ESC Turbo ( common for RC Cars )

This is a type of timing when enabled will set a predetermined amount of timing advance at a specific trigger point. This trigger point can be either based on a specific throttle input such as 100%, an RPM value or both.

How can I make my RC brushed motor faster?

Sealed endbell motors need a lot of running to break in their hard compound brushes. Running it partially submerged in water helps break them in faster. Water dipping is a trick old-school guys used to break in their motors, but it would also help clean your brushed motors.

How does timing affect a brushless motor?

Brushless motors react to increases and decreases in timing the same way as brushed motors, but most are a little less sensitive to changes. Increasing timing increases rpm and motor temps but decreases torque, efficiency and run time. Decreasing timing does, as expected, just the opposite.

Which is better, ignition timing or boost?

How do you size a brushless motor ESC?

To size an ESC, the most important specification is the maximum current capacity. In short, you want the maximum current capacity of an ESC to be larger than the maximum current draw of the motor/propeller combination.

What is Blinky Mode ESC?

Definition: “Blinky” denotes a mode of the ESC with no dynamic timing. This is often indicated by a blinking light on the ESC – hence “Blinky”. Also referred to as “non-timing mode”.

Why is it important to set proper ignition timing?

Setting the correct ignition timing is crucial in the performance of an engine. Sparks occurring too soon or too late in the engine cycle are often responsible for excessive vibrations and even engine damage. The ignition timing affects many variables including engine longevity, fuel economy, and engine power.

What is neutral range on ESC?

Neutral range. This is the 'dead zone' before the ESC registers a command. Another way the think of this is how far you have to squeeze the trigger before the car starts moving. I like to tune this to the transmitter for control. Most 2.4ghz transmitters are very accurate so you can turn this down to 6% if you wish.

What does Blinky RC mean?

When the timing feature is turned off, the esc has a light that will blink when in neutral, thus the term "blinky". This is to avoid giving someone a HUGE advantage in power, although there are classes that are 17.5 with open timing, it depends on the track (or race). lappdawg27.

How do you put Hobbywing ESC in Blinky mode?

Why do ESC burn out?

Current too high. Battery voltage too high. Not enough cooling.

How do I choose the right ESC for my motor?

The first thing to consider when selecting an ESC is the current rating or ampere rating. Motors draw current when they spin, if you draw more current than your ESC capacity then it will start to overheat and eventually damage.

What is a sensored brushless motor?

A sensored brushless motor has a sensor built in that can detect the position of the internal rotor at start-up, allowing for a quick start and seamless initial performance.

How is brushless motor ESC calculated?

To arrive at the size of ESC you need, when you know how many cells in series, divide the maximum wattage of your chosen motor by the voltage of your power pack. This will give you the current (amps) that your ESC will have to handle.

Will a bigger battery make my RC car faster?

Changing the wheels, adjusting the gear ratio, and upgrading the motor and batteries are all great ways of making your RC car run faster. Will a Lipo battery make my RC car faster? Absolutely! Lipo batteries are fast, powerful, and oh-so-wonderful if you want to give your RC vehicle an extra kick.

What is the fastest brushless motor?

The British appliance manufacturer Dyson claims to have developed the world's fastest, most efficient motor for domestic appliances. The Dyson Digital Motor (DDM) v2 is a single-phase brushless DC motor, which operates at speeds up to 104,000 rpm with a claimed efficiency of 84%.

Do I need to break in a brushed motor?

Water is abrasive and accelerates the wear of the brushes and the comm surface, essentially taking life away from your new motor very quickly. Our motors don't really require a break-in before use, but you can run them on low voltage (4-6V) for a minute or two both directions to seat the brushes.

Why is my Hobbywing ESC blinking green?

The GREEN LED keeps flashing indicating the thermal protection is activated, please let your ESC cool down before using it again.
