I'm expecting this video to be linked quite often in the future. Nicely made!

Heres a little lesson in moddery, this is going down in history!

if you wanna be a nerfer number one, you have to wreck a springer user on the run!

Excellent video, fellas.
Everything was explained very thoroughly, and was easily understood. I wish there was something like this when I first got into the modding scene. Definitely interested in a MOSFET video, though.

Keep up the great work!

We are Number One but it's Ryan lecturing us about not using Lipos again.

People that are on mobile are like wtf are you pointing at??? Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂

Two months of reddit posts, wikipedia pages, and dozens of open tabs and I learned more in 10 minutes of this video than I ever did. How is it that no one ever explained stall specs that well?

[EDSKaR]

Well I'm bookmarking this one, really well presented! A good chunk of this applies to airsoft (different motors and switches, but the wiring and batteries are the same, and the maths of course)

I even learned why 2s/3s lipos are called s when Cell begins with C! Didn't think about series and parallel connections in battery packs, I've never seen a parallel connection. The discussion of connecting two batteries together to double the capacity does pop up every now and again, but it's generally frowned upon in our circles as different discharge rates could lead to one battery overdischarging before the other battery is empty(at least, that's the theory that's thrown around)

I have been looking for a video like this for quite some time! Thank you so much for the great detail and practicals. Very rarely do people give the reasons behind a mod as well as examples for how they do it. Again, Thanks So much!

[KyllanMan]

quality video, have been continually googling these details and not making full sense of it all. Thanks lads.

[FiendX]

I've probably studied and replayed this video more than I have for school work. Thanks!

[thenerfninja]

I've done flywheel builds before, and I was still able to learn a ton! Thanks for the great vid Ryan.

[humanbeing]

Yes, someone explained carbon brushes! Carbon brushes are a good way to get stock motors to hold 3s. That's what my Modulus ECS-10 has now.

[Humungalungbungus]

When like "we are number one" so much it has to be your intro music

[MakeTestBattle]

Official reason for the re-upload is the last 2 minutes of the video were missing.
Unofficially...
We are going to teach you how to be VILLAINS!

I really appreciate you guys making these videos! Thanks so much!

[TRASHEDTEG]

Thanks for this video, explained a lot that I didn't understand before. I just ordered 4 neo hellcat motors for 2 hyperfire builds I'm taking on and some 3s lipos from hobbyking. I'm glad to see the parts I ordered look compatible. The batteries are a little large but no harm there

This video is awesome for a beginner like me, even three years later.
Is there a newer video on this subject that may have any updates concerning this topic in our hobby, or is it just more efficient motors replacing older models?
Thanks!

[tecktabulous]

Just woke up, saw this, and my day got 72% better ;)

[Zavier_Dagoat]

I have watched this video three times and it helped me a lot

[themadquacker]

This is awesome. I knew about most of it, but the review on current draw was super helpful
