Motor windings findings

WHOA I love your power plant!!!

Thanks, it's a 3.7 Volt 1400-Mah Graphite Lithium Ion. It about 40 grams per cell. Even tho the motor is a hemi wind 130, this baby flies.
How do you wind your motors?

I havent wound a motor in a while if its worth doing I normally just take a few turns off any other time I just hand wind with a thicker gauge wire try to put bearings .


By any chance do you have any pictures of your 16D Id like to see what the amature looks like?

[moebrown20]

I don't have any pictures yet. I will take it apart tonight (at work now) to show you the difference. The main thing I like about the 16D is the thick magnets!(almost a 1/4" thick) All you need to launch this baby is a v1 board, h bridge, or relay to handle 4 lithiums(any 130 motor I used was nearly fried after 2 hard runs except the falcon motor). I had to weigh down my front end just to keep it down.

Sorry for a blured picture, didn't know my daughter had the camera before I got home(she's one).

Heh, i stuffed a 180 size ampatur (sp?) in a 130 can, all i know is the magnets are not big enough!

Were abouts did you get those li-ions? The 1500 Mah "Graphite" ones? And how the heck do ya charge them?

<<<<<----- that was a 16d before I cut it to fit a 130 amature.
the batteries I got from onlybatteries.com. They are too big for the stock xmod, the pic you see is a 1/24 extended xmod ford focus. I charge them in about a half hour using a lemar charger.(very expensive! 60-70 bucks)
Do anyone knows where to get some 28-30 gauge silver wire from? I like the speed of my stage4 motor I made(for a stock car, did 35mph on 10 tooth pinion! At 1.50 amps) but I would like to change the copper to silver to study the differences between the two.

RPMs of all the motors will be known soon... I just picked up an oscilloscope off of EBay.

It's been awhile since you last posted, but did you get that oscilloscope?
If so could you start a thread on rmp's(with voltages)?

Has anyone had any luck winding with 22ga?

I used the 22 gauge. I used 15 turns with neutral timing in a 130 can. My first test was with lithium. I almost lost a good set of batteries. It pulled 9.6AMPS on startup Overall I did not like it. I'm now testing a 35turn & a 30 turn silver wire setup. Since silver has the lowest resistance, I hope that this baby flies

Did you use neo magnets and BB can, did you run it if so how was the speed?
I want to make a really hot motors. Im ready to experiment with the 22ga wire.

Team Orion's Elite stock motor

Are they any good for the Xmod with the blue gears a 7.2 li-ion? I dont want to moddify it tho :P



BUT: I was running a Mini-t motar stock: 5 AMPS max !!!! BUT, lots and lots of tourqe with good speed...

next: I got a motor, bigger then a 130, but same lenght of a 180...what size is it? It has MANY raps on it with thin wire..i am gonna get some wire from radio shack and test my skills!

I usually test with a stage 2 can, if I like what I see and hear then I test it with a different setup.

Do you have a picture of it? It may be a 280 or a 260 motor. Where did you get it from?

[mod_o_matic]

I think its a 280, but flat on the top and bottem...

It's a 260 like the big block V12 on ebay.
Do you have more?
