Continuing on: Modifying the Turnigy 80-100 Brushless Outrunner – Part 2
As I’ve written before I had problems getting the Turnigy motor to run in sensored mode using the modified cheap-o eBay controller. Just to se if It’s the controller that is the problem I’ve tried the motor with my e-bike controller.
SUCCESS!
It works perfect! Turns slow and have lots of starting torque. I didn’t try more than 15%-20% throttle and the battery was empty in my current meter so I could’t measure the current. I will try full throttle and measure the current as soon as I’ve got a new battery.
The motor looks much neater with the internal sensors than the external I think I’ll paint it black to match the black moped when I’ve epoxied the stator and not going to take it apart again.
The motor looks much better with the sensors mounted internally

I have a Turnigy C80-100-130kv motor and needs sencors to work with my Mamba Max Pro controller to eliminate cogging. Can you please supply me with info on what sensors to use and where to install them and the wireing diagram too if possible.
Thanks man.
I use the Honeywell SS411A sensor, I think this sensor comes in both unipolar and bipolar configuration, make sure you get the bipolar. I have 3 sensors, mounted 120° apart in the stator. Since this motor have a DLRK winding, one pole consists of two neighboring stator teeth and the two opposing teeth. I’ve put the sensors between the teeth where the cables come in. You can look at this post for some pictures: http://www.linushelgesson.se/2012/04/modifying-the-turnigy-80-100-brushless-outrunner-part-2/
For the sensors I have 5 wires, red, black, green, blue and yellow. Red and black goes to all three sensors GND and Vcc pins. Green, blue and yellow goes one to each sensors Out port.
It’s also important that you mount all sensors in the same direction, I mounted them with the text facing outwards.
Thaks a million man, I ordered the sensors and will install them asap. I will keep you updated…………..
Great
Hi,
Congratulations your project was wonderful.
How many Kw RPM and has this engine?
thank you

I described that pretty well in this post:
Modifying the Turnigy 80-100 Brushless Outrunner – Part 1
The Kv is 90 rpm/V, which will result in a maximum of ~4000 rpm with the batteries I use for the E-Puch.
Since the motor went up in flames I will have to rewind it again, this time I’ll go for around 100 rpm/V and a lower gear ratio.
Hi,
very good this project a look

Interesting! Thanks for the link.
Is it yours?
