Can I use any ESC with any brushless motor?
Any brushless esc will work with any brushless motor. Making sure you have a large enough esc is another thing. That ESC will work fine for that motor, as the motor is rated at 18A max and the ESC will handle up to 40A. Yeah that ESC will work fine.
Is a higher amp ESC better?
A high amp esc will usually have better internals than a lower amp esc. Keep tthe questions coming, you do not learn without asking! Amp rating generally means you can run a more aggressive motor (mod motors) with higher amperage.
Can I run a brushless motor without ESC?
No, you can’t. A brushless DC motor is very similar to a three phase AC induction motor. You need to use a brushless DC motor controller (ESC) designed to generate the rotating field.
Does an ESC make your car faster?
Short answer no. They will not make you, as a driver, faster. That being said a nicer esc will give a slight performance bump, but it will be marginal usually.
Can brushless motors run slow?
The brushless motor can spin at any low speed. Maintaining low speed smooth may require some algorithms, feedback hardware and stuff, but is totally doable.
How do you power a brushless motor without ESC?
RE: Run a brushless motor without ESC? A simple solution is to use a servo tester, they all have a knob that will allow you to control the speed with. They go for from ten to twenty bucks, depending on where you buy.
How big ESC do I need?
If you are using 30amps ESCs, you should choose motors that are bigger than 2205 or faster than 2300kv, and propellers should be bigger than 5 inches. For examples 30 amps is required for the 2204 2700kv, 2204 3200kv, 2205 2700kv or 2206 1900kv(with 6 inch propellers).
Can you burn out a brushless motor?
There is in a sense no break in for brushless motors, if the poly coat insulation on the winding is going to fail it will practically right away.
Can a 4 pole ESC run 2 pole motor?
The exception is when the esc is designed to only run 2 pole motors and you try to run a 4 pole motor. This is the case with the Traxxas Velineon esc, it can only run 2 pole motors, hook up a Castle 4 pole and you’ll only get half the rpm out of the motor.
