Well, the RS Pro, I allready have so that's sorted.
about the motor-choice: as I still have a high noob-degree, I would need "soft at bottom end" I guess, so I'll choose ...
sensored anyway and tune up the softness of the throtle with the setup of my transmitter
This way I can still choose

thx for the explanation!

6.5 is a nice all round motor in 4wd, use it indoors and out... 5.5 is a lot more fun though

I agree with DCM on the 6.5

The sensorless motors we have are not comparable wind to wind due to the fact that our sensorless motors are Delta wound where as the sensored motor are Wye wound.

Differences being so large where as a 448 is a 4 T 4800kv motor but a 4T or 4.5t sensored motor's kv is much higher say almost double. The gearing won't be very close and the power that's made is different. I prefer running all my mods in dual mode. The motor is more efficient this way as is the esc.

In offroad especially dual mode seems to be the ticket as spool up is far more controllable(for me).

One of the amazing things about our esc's is that you can strech a single motor into a few different personalities to make it fit your need and driving style. Heck, maybe we shouldn't make it so nice, you'd have to buy more motors! LOL

The other settings are personal pref.

Ran last night to check out the above settings.

After 5 min heat the ESC was @ 167f (75c), motor was @ 122c (50c)

Those temps OK or do I need to adjust something?

5.5bl motor geared on 18/84 using 4600 NiMH

how many lights were on the ESC? Thermal indicator. And did the motor feel too hot to touch?

Don't know

used a temp gun

motor was OK to touch on a scale 1-10 I'd say 4

solder posts on esc were an OUCH, that's what made me check the temps

can I back check last temp of esc if I switch it on today?

unfortunately, no, but when you finish a run, if you pop the shell off, the led will flash from showing the neatral position to flashing a certain amount of LED's, as long as it is below 5, things are good. On the RS, short track with a 6.5, I will generaly show up 3-4 led's on the thermal temp.

is this dual mode something from the newest software versions?

I have an R1 pro and a RS and I haven't found that dual mode in my RS

not sure if it is called 'hybrid' mode on the hotwire?

Seems to me all these 'ratings' for BL motors are confusing. Is there are standard that could be adopted to allow direct comparisons across all types, Howabout using Kv figures, would that work?

The RS defaults to dual mode (hybrid mode) unless you tick the box on the hotwire for sensored only. Without that box ticked it will always start the motor sensored then switch to sensorless once its moving.

Since the RS was released it has always had dual mode so you've probably been running it like that without realising

If the sensor comes unplugged, or damaged it will automatically run in sensorless just like the R1 (whether or not that sensored only box is ticked)

I run mine in dual mode all the time, i find its much smoother and runs cooler that way.

Kevins right, the Rs is in dual mode as a default. Look towards the right side of the Hotwire interface in the middle and you should see a box that says "Sensored only." If you want to run sensored only you must click this box.

If you had 122F as a motor temp that's more than fine. I'd say you could gear up if you wanted to.

DCM is spot on though as far as esc temps are. The solders posts are our "heatsinks" so don't touch! LOL

Check the internal temps just like DCM said, that's all I care about. In wheeler on high bite you should see around 5 or 6 led's in an RS Pro running anything hotter than a 6.5.

If you are getting to 7 led's you are either overgeared or need to get some air into your shell. If this can't be done well use a 2nd cap.

Speed passion do one with 4 caps on a circuit board from demon products. I have one and RS Pro runs 2 lights cooler and the faster mod motors seem to be a bit smoother, about £18. Hope this helps.
