Racestar 140 Kv Motor tested on GT

nope still in the box as backup

 

I have them attached - there is now a new generation with red colouring - which I have used. All connections are the same.

The motors are excellent, in fact I prefer them to the evolve motors, they are quieter - and have been redesigned internally (external is the same.)

If anyone has dismantled the evolve motors they will notice a spacer at the top, a cylindrical ring. This has been integrated into the casing in the new design, what this has meant is that the rattle that always bothered me in the original motors is gone. Clearly it was this spacer bouncing around inside the motor.

The power and acceleration and torque have no noticeable change.

 

So the risk is with the 200s we dont know how the motors will behave with the controller?

Are the racestar motors sensored? Will the speedo still work

 

I just received my Racerstar 140 Kv and they work flawlessly, in fact, they are smoother and more silent than the stock ones.

Yes, no problemo.

 

Hi mate. Just curious, did you have a problem with motor direction when replacing the stock evolve motors. I got two racestar 140kv recently and one goes the opposite direction. Really stumped on this issue as I was so hopeful they were just plug and play..

 

Hi, you should just need to swap two of the wires on the motor that's going the wrong way. Hopefully should do the trick.

 

I went for the racestar BRH5055 as they were a bit cheaper on Banggood, as long as it is flat they are fine, but they don't seem to hold up once the hills get a bit too steep, has anyone had the same experience?
