Ever wondered how to get the best performance possible from your brushless RC project? Matching up your electrics could be one of the simplest ways. If you’re making a vehicle from scratch, or simply wondering if there are any improvements you could make to your RTF or RTR vehicle’s setup, then this is essential knowledge. There are a few rumors and misconceptions out there, but if you let us set you straight, then you’ll be running a top class RC vehicle in no time.
When starting this prosess, you want to start by looking at your motor. Is it the kind that the manufacturer recommends for your vehicle? Or, if you’re putting your RC plane, truck, or heli together from scratch, is it the kind generally recommended for the type and size of vehicle you want to make? This information is usually available on vehicle packaging or in instruction manuals, listed as the kV rating (for example, 3300kV) and the size (length x diameter). You might not always be able to find a perfect match, but if the motor is as close to these requirements as possible, then you’re off to an excellent start.
