Sure thing. I just programmed mine, and had to up the start up power and sine power a bit on the settings. Seems to work well so far. ☺️ I just use this esc. It need some soldering, but it's fairly simple. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ExfqKHE
@@Br0rB I may be late to the party because the link you provided is no longer functional . Can you provide a little more info/specs on the AM32 ESC with external 8.4V BEC you're using? Thx in advance.
@@OgreSupremeSure. I have a bunch of these ESCs. I have a couple of the "enhanced" ones with a built in 5v bec, but have since switched over to the non-bec one. This one: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ExfqKHE I then solder one of these tiny buck controllers to it, and use my multimeter to set it to 8.4v. They are 3A, but for my small scale stuff with one servo that's fine. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Ewv5aIc
I have the same motor and it runs pretty well! I think I need to lower my gearing or something because I do get cogging on my low end occasionally. I have a cheap aliexpress Am32 esc paired with the motor as well
I have only just tried it on the bench, but I have used those AM32 ESCs in several rigs. Curious about the motor. So far it looks good, but I'll know better once I try it on the course. Gearing down is always an option. I rand a lower tooth pinion on my Komodo, and that worked great.
I've done a bit more testing now. It's really smooth with the AM32, but like you, I get some cogging and have also found the motor to not push up verticals. I've tried to gear down a little, and work on the settings in the ESC, but it's still not great. I found it to be slightly better with a Furitek Lizard Pro, but still not great. I'll be trying more ESC settings, but like you, I believe it needs to be geared down. I have ordered som underdrive gears for the rear, and will replace the overdrive in the front with stock gears. I'm hoping going from 23% OD to 33% UD will help, and I also have some smaller pinions ordered. The stock one on the motor is 12t, so 55t spur and 12t pinion. I'll be trying go to down to an 11, a 10 and an eight. 11 probably won't make much of a difference, but I'm hoping eight, or maybe even 10 will help. This motor should work well. It's a quite similar to the micro Komodo from Furitek, same pole count, but a longer can, and just slightly higher KV. It should work great, it just needs to be set up right. Hopefully gearing will help, plus maybe trying a different ESC. :)
@@Br0rB Awesome, good to know! Let me know how the underdrive gearing works out. I had set the start power fairly high on mine and got ok results, but my esc heats up pretty quickly. So I think underdrive may be the answer
@@mackenziebrown6881 I'm using these for most of my small scale builds. I usually set them to 8.4v, depending on the servo I'm running in that rig. They're good enough for small scale and a decent servo. ☺️ s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_EyijAQD

Awesome! I just got that same motor with esc for my LGRP Ultra24 build. Good luck on your comp!
very cool 😎 👌
I think so, yeah. And let's not forget: cheap. 😁
I love it! I apologize but could you send me a link to the esc please.

@@OgreSupremeyou'll also need the usb programmer to configure the ESC for whatever motor you'll be using. Getting pole count and kV is pretty key.

@@Br0rB Do you have under drive or overdrive gears in your axles?
Overdrive in the front, but gearing wise underdrive in the rear would probably be a better idea with this motor and ESC.

How joyous "program" the bec? Does that require a specific remote?
@@CLADAWG the ESC you mean? You need a little usb adapter and a program on your PC. Same as other AM32 ESCs.
do you have a link for the ESC and BEC?
Sure. This is the ESC. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ExfqKHE
