Brushless motor for feather spinner?

[Danny B]

I suppose I could run a 6s at a push, would that be any better?

Scratch that, I noticed your earlier comment and see a 6s can work ok.

What batteries do most high-powered spinners use these days then? Are they mostly 12S to match the motors?

More bots still use 6S packs that are easier to use with drive motors. I am headed towards 10 or 12S packs and I think other builders will too. The trick is to either run a small secondary pack for the drive motors or to dump brushed motors completely and find some small, high voltage brushless motors for drive.

Valkiri 2 used a 4S 8000mAh monster to power everything.

Valkiri 3 went for a 6S 3300mAh pack for weaponpower and a 4S 2700mAh pack for the drive.

Both used the NTM 5060, a motor suited up to 8 S .

6S because the ease to find cheap packs and chargers and the fact we use the cheap SS190-200 ESC, what in theory should do 7S.

[overkill]

True - its mush easier to make a 10 or 12S pack from two 5 or 6S packs. They are more common and much easier to recharge - I don't think there are many 12S chargers around just yet.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but thought I'd keep relevant topics together. What would the suitability of a motor like this be? Is the RPM/V too low perhaps? https://hobbyking.com/en_us/propdriv...ner-motor.html

bots have and do run that motor in featherweights. both for weapons and drive.

It more depends if you want a pusher bot or not.

If you are gonna use active weapon a lot of people us the 42xx version

I am building a 4 wheel driver pusher using the 50 50 version but i know Spur 3 runs 2 5060

Brill, thanks!

and Spur 4 runs with 4 5060's

Spur 5 gonna have 2 per wheel? XD

That would be silly

Working on a heavy version
