How
To Set and Adjust Modified RC Car Motor Timing |
|
|
|
1.
Note the current timing setting and mark it on the
edge of the can with a Sharpie marker. If the new
setting doesn't work for you, this mark will make
it easy to reset it to the factory setting.
2. Loosen the motor's endbell screws with a small
Phillips screwdriver. You don't need to remove them,
just unscrew each one a couple of turns and then
push down on the screww to release the timing ring
from its position.
3. Hold the motor with the endbell facing you, and
rotate the endbell counterclockwise to advance the
timing, or turn it clockwise to retard the timing.
4. After you've set the new timing, tighten the
endbell screws firmly.
Additional Tips:
If you have lost your timing mark and need to find
the zero-degree point, here is a quick way to identify
the zer-degree dimple in the can. Look at the mounting-screw
holes on the bottom of the motor can. Zero degrees
in right between the mounting holes, so the dimple
above the holes is zero degrees.
Don't advance your timing past 30 degrees. Advancing
it to far can lead to a pitted comm and burnt brushes.
Different manufacturers use different scales for
timing marks on the motor label. Example - Team
Orion prints labels at 6 degrees per timing mark,
and Trinity uses a line at every 5 degrees.
If your motor doesn't have a label, damaged, or
removed just remember that rotating the endbell
by 3mm is equal to about 10 degrees. See our electric
motor FAQ's if you don't know how to find the
zero-degree mark on your motor.
