e-Align T-REX 450-500-600 > Burned out my Chili Pepper 4200KV with 8T

Hi Folks,

I burned out my Chili Pepper 4200KV motor with an 8T pinion and Pheonix 25ESC. The T-rex hovered nice for about 6min then settled to the ground. The motor won't turn now and seems bound up. After I get it back from repair I'll be left with the task of trying to figure out what I did wrong. I don't have an amp. meter or means to measure the head RPM. Can anyone suggest the proper means to trouble shoot this problem and offer an explaination for the cause. Thanks.

That does not sound to good, I have a chili pepper 3600 and it is running on a 9 tooth pinion. The motor runs very hot and needs to have a heatsink fitted. I can't see why after only 6 minutes of hovering yours should go bad, maybe you just got a bad one, but it does concern me that these motors are running so hot in the T_Rex. One thing that will cause it to overheat is if you have your belt to tight? I am going to change mine out if a more suitable motor comes along which runs cooler with the same power output. Neumotor is looking very interesting.

Watt Meter is the ticket

I just bought a Watt meter from Xtreme RC to monitor the amps , watts, volts and the amount mah being used . It will tell if you have the wrong gear, too tight of a machine ,like a too tight tail belt or too much pitch that can be.pulling too many amps and most of all how long to fly a battery pack. to make your battey pack last .

This is a great tool to help set up your heli to make your motor and battery last and not fry them .
