If?
 

if i had a sb hybrid with blue gears a and a 5th or 6th cell how many feet would it take to reach top speed? and to do that would i need a fet upgrade?

Is a sb hybrid motor faster and/or "torqueier" than a RS stage 2 blue motor?

yes:mad:

sum one please help

I don't think you'll need the FET upgrade to make a SB hybrid work with any gear. See how much current the motor draws at your operating voltage. If it draws like 1A with no load, then you'll probably want to look into getting a FET upgrade.

:confused: HUH i dont get it would i need one or not

i have an sb hybrid w/ 11thoot(blue s2 motor). you do not need a fet upgrade. it well reach top speed faster than the regular s2 motor. it would take about 5-7 feet to reach top speed with 5 cell.

sweet thanks you really helped alot if i ever need help can i pm u

is the team orion micro elite stock motor faster?

it probably has more torque but i dunno

no problem. sure you can pm me. thats fine with me

the team orion micro elite stock motor is a 180 motor right? if so, it is more torquier and since team orion is the people who makes it, it should be very torquey and has very good top end speed. im not sure though

It would, however, almost undoubtedly take longer to reach that top speed, at least in feet; perhaps not actual time. Good tradeoff, I'd say.

LOL, I'm sorry...I know I wasn't too specific.

With 6V applied, I believe the SB's are pullin' 250mA(no load). I can't speculate what the loaded current is, as I'm unable to run along side my xmod with an ammeter, but I just assume 2 to 3 times the current is drawn while racing. This is fine with no FET upgrades. When you start making alterations to numbers of turns and voltage, then your current draws will change. If you are drawing 1A no load, then you can assume 2 to 3A(or higher) while racing and your FET's would be hurtin'. Slap a couple stacks on there and you'll be ok.

WTF ok, will i be ok with a 5 or6 cell and sb hybrid do i HAVE to do an upgrade or will i be fine???:mad:

you will be fine with the hybrid. i've ran my sb hybrid for a month now with no problems at all. and that includes 5 cell

thankyou supraDJ will i be fine with a 6 though?

WTF ok.......Yes, you will be fine with 6 cell and SB hybrid motor. What I was trying to explain was how to figure out whether you'd be OK on your own. It's all about current draw. What makes your FET's OK and NOT OK are their current carrying capabilities, and the voltage/motor setup you have.

Use a DMM and connect it in series with your motor and the power supply you will be using. Read your current draw and know that that's the same no-load current draw that your FET's will be carrying to your motor when you fully throttle. If the current seems excessive, THEN UPGRADE YOUR FET'S. If not, then DON'T UPGRADE YOUR FET'S. SB's have to be one of the lowest current drawing motors out there. Unless you change the armature that is........

thankyou jshwaa i was confused
