![]() Just that hole startup routine makes it not a good option for drag racing.Īll times are GMT -8. I have ESC's that can handle the punch without a problem. It has nothing to do with handling the punch. That is the reason they use micro switches - instant on, no thought, full power, just go, no ESC. By the time it starts to go the other person that is using a Micro Switch is almost finished the race. This is for brushed or brushless - this is also why people with brushed motors do not use ESC's when drag racing which you have to use one with brushless.īefore your ESC starts turning your motor - it has to check to see the position of the armiture, how far was the throttle pulled on the TX and many other things before it ever starts moving the motor. An electric drag race is over in less than 2 seconds. It is the startup routine is what delays everything. We really have a great thing going on.ġ.832 78.56 IEDA Pro Truck Record Holder 2004 Top motorcycle drag racer Larry 'Spiderman' McBride has entered the record books once again by piloting the Lawless Electric Rocket to a National Electric Drag Racing Association record run of 6. If anyone is intrested in knowing more about drag racing, please feel free to email me and I'll help as much as I can to see new faces join in, thats how I got here. 10th of a second is the difference in going to the next round, and going home. I dont know that much about a brushless motor, but overall isnt the design pretty "fixed", I mean, not open to a lot of tuning opitions? We deal with winds, spring tention, brush material and size, amp draw and timing, and if its not exactly where how it needs to be set, then you are going to loose the race, its that close. I'm sure brushless will come eventually, but for now the reason I beleive the brushed endbell motors are still the ticket is because of the extreme tuneablity. ![]() Each will make a little different power band and different amounts of torque, but higher is not always better. When it comes to the professional motors, we run cobalt or neo magnets, 2, 4, and 6 mag configuarations. They are very complex little modifieds, its no easy task taking one of these and sending it down the 132 with only 6 batteries in less than 2 seconds, it take A LOT of tuning. The sportsman motors are basic ferrite magnet motors, with a 95.00 price limit (within the rules). How fast? It all depends on the class you are running. most everyone is running a brushed motor. Brushless is still kind of a new technology in drag racing. ![]()
