Electrics recommendations and do I need sensored?

[scoyle]

Hi,

I have been running my JQ eCar for a couple of runs now with a Hobbywing SC8 speedo and a Reedy 1800kv motor.

What other electrics options (speedo and motors) are there, preferably in the UK that I could look at?

My Hobbywing SC8 is not sensored - should I be looking at going sensored?

Not much, haha sensored

Viper VT8X ESC few in the forsale,

Motor wise I use Tenshocks from Funshobby very good

Hi Mate,

I have been running a Tekin RX8 and T8 1900kv motor.

Wicked combination for 1/8th electric.

Also the Vampire 1/8 speedo and motor looks interesting but nothing released yet.

:thumbsup:

Orion R8 and the new VST2 2100kv motor here. Speedo program's the same as the R10 with great results.

There is a few options I will start at the top with my favorite to least the least isn't that bad! :)

Tekin T8 1900kv and RX8 = Can get in UK from RCDisco

LRP Dynamic 1700kv with iX8 esc = Can get from SMD Direct

Hobbywing 1800kv with Hobbywing 150A Speedo = Can get from Hong Kong on eBay

What are you looking at doing?
Why do you want to swap if its working well?

Im running the hobbywing 150a and a 2200kv seneorless motor, they work well.

RC Mart sell Tenshock motors, leave the Esc get the the Blue Xerun sensored/sensorless 150 amp esc

I've found that sensorless seems to need much more setting up to get a clean, smooth start off the line, or accelerating from (very) low speed. Sensored just goes, how ever you calibrate it.
Losing the sensor cable half way through a run is very noticeable.
But if you have the time to set it up, I doubt it makes a significant difference, and they are a lot cheaper.
