Eclipse Professional Brushless Motor ( 10.5T , 13.5T & 17.5T ) http://teamwaveonline.com/2007/products08.htm LED Temperature Visualizing System
Motor temperature is one of the key factors affecting car performance. It has been pushed to the limits with the ever-advancing brushless speed controller and LiPo battery technology. Infra-red temperature gun has been the most common tool used by RC racers for monitoring this important parameter to protect the motor from over-heating and thus improving the overall performance of the car. However, the infra-red gun suffers from the following limitation:
1. The gun is only measuring the temperature of the motor can rather than the core temperature. The problem is further exaggerated by the common use of motor cooling fan.
2. Infra-red sensor is notoriously ineffective in measuring temperature of reflective surfaces (e.g. color in white / silver) - and that's probably one of the factors contributing to your burnt motor !
3. A high quality temperature gun is almost the price of a brushless motor and it may not be economical to own one.
ECLIPSE is equipped with the unique LED Temperature Visualizing System to provide instant temperature reading. A NTC temperature sensor is embedded to measure the core temperature. The reading is then presented through the differently colored LED distributed around the endbell as follow:
