Well, the tests with the new motor and repaired ESC is not that impressive at all. I can say poor results. Only 2 psi in the car before hitting the ESC cut-off. It makes no sense.. almost 9psi with the old set up and now almost nothing. I will contact castle creation if they can give me advices
Well, FINALLY, my controller will be back today from repair with MGM! After 11 months and 420$ later, the controller is supposed to be repaired. I will work hard to make it work this week end!
Sorry for all the post here! I am super late with all the new members! Post a picture of your project...
About 7psi with my tp motor with 55k rpm if I remember correctly! Maybe little more rpm. It’s been too long so I really don’t remember the amps I was pulling. There’s some pictures here and there on the forum! Finally it was not a motor issue but a ESC issue. I first think it was the motor so I...
Oh no I understand your feelings! My ESC is out for repair for about 9months now 🥲 hope I will get it back this summer to try my 2.0 set up. I am impressed too qith your data! Don’t remember how high my rpm was but I think yours a little faster! Can’t wait to try my castle motor
Like you see in the video, on a Vblock or on the lathe there’s no differences. The run out is 0. If I had turn the chuck instead of the motor shaft when it was mount in the chuck, it would have been different.
I think the real deal of the 4070-cm should be enough. BUT I have better hope with the 1721 castle motor! They call it « the TP killer ». But like you said the 8s worries me too. I still have couple week till I try it but we will see!
It is interesting about the max S we «can use» on the 1721 motor. I talk with a guy of castlecreation and he suggest me to not over volting the motor. I don’t know why but anyway I have cells in spare so I can upgrade it in the futur if 8s is not enough. But what I did is I add cells for the...
Honnestly you can try and hope having a real CM version because I don’t! I still manage to get 7psi with my normal 4070 but I damaged my ESC.. the castle creation I get is the 1721 I think
HAHAHAHA yes! I just get out of my igloo! The ESC is out for 7months now and I should get the first diagnostic from MGM this week. Not their fault but my shipping company. Anyway I hope get it back soon in a month we should get sumer temperature!
Btw remember my forged wheel? They are done...
I use a tp 4070 cm on my set up. Well I beleive till I disassemble it.. it was a 4070 normal motor and I was able to achieve 55k rpm on direct drive set up. But I changed for a castle creation motor
I am a experienced machiniste and just for fun, put you motor in the chuck and put an indicator on your shaft where the impeller goes. Dont turn the chuck, but turn your shaft by hand instead. The best I had is 0.002" of offcentric
19:30 in the video
I’ve made mine pretty similar and I have tried different thing and it is impossible to get a perfect concentrique shaft without a grinder.. a bearing is needed to support the shaft
I did my first one with 0.002“ too loose. I put loctite and it did well. The second one I try the shrink fit but I mess up..https://youtu.be/t5XNN7z8_lQ
OMG I am so mad right now.. remember when I said MGM received the esc? Well they don’t exactly received it. The post office try to deliver the package but wrong place wrong time to finaly ship the ESC back to me.. the sad story is Its been 5months since I ship them, hope it will not take 5months...
