Motor question - How warm is too warm?
15 February, 2012, 18:16
I picked up a 2nd hand VFC SCAR-L Yesterday and it's a bit of a ROF monster
After a while the pistol grip gets quite warm and i'm worried that I might be pushing it too far with the full auto. Is the motor height not right Or am I just being over cautious :P
Thanks

should be ok mate, mine gets fairly warm with speedy rof. As long as it sounds ok you should be fine, grinding or screeching then change your motor height.

Re: Motor question - How warm is too warm?
^ My G36C that has an SHS High torque in it gets warm when trashing it for long periods of time. Just don't do extended bursts too often and ensure you have a good battery to power it.
If its getting very hot after short bursts its possibly;
Motor Height
Too much load on the gearbox
Failing motor
Not enough juice to supply it from your current battery
Spinning too fast (high speed gears and high speed motor on a soft spring) can also cause it to heat up quicker than expected.

Youd know if it wasnt aligned right, it will either do nothing or sound like a cat with its nuts in a clamp!

Re: Motor question - How warm is too warm?
hot electrics for me usually indicates insufficiant amperage from the battery

Re: Motor question - How warm is too warm?
I found on my ca g36 the grip would get sodding hot. Turned out the bushes were worn causin poor contact and increased rssistance ( i.e. acting as a heating element) . Ditched the motor and put in an element clone of the magnum.
