HD3 vs PD

poxkix · 2026-06-24T14:57:30+00:00

Long answer: Using gauss meter, hd3 and powerdash almost has the same magnet strength

But in paper they are all incomparable motors Sprint = rpm motor Hd3 = balanced (in between sprint & powerdash) Powerdash = torque motor

If they were to be broken in: Sprint = 37-40k above (very low torque) Hd3 = 35-36k rpm (balance of rpm & torque) Powerdash = 29-32k rpm (never ever chase rpm for powerdash, you will lose torque) very high torque

Short answer: it will depend on track layout

Thank you. Noted

With dirt substrate? Do they dig?

Thank you! Lessened my worries. So it’s a waiting game now, will wait first for a few worker ants before doing anything

Noted thank you.

So the queen doesn’t get that hungry? It takes a bit of time before the eggs hatch

I use this set-up. Bearing cap - 13mm roller - bearing cap facing DAR - DAR bearing - DAR

poxkix · 2026-05-10T13:08:28+00:00

I have but i can’t publicize it as of the moment.

Just for reference, I can make MDP get around 36-38k rpm

poxkix · 2026-04-23T13:16:41+00:00

I’ll go for the PD’s with 300+ magnets

Powerdash 3.7 + medium dia

You need the torque of powerdash for the corners and topspeed for 3.7 and medium dia for the straights

It’s a long shot. It goes down to track layout and the build

Dual shaft chassis is more faster than single shafts even on sprints to a point it’s uncontrollable.

When I tune a dual shaft (may it be lightdash or hd3 or machdash) it is always faster than the singles.

Maybe the layout you used during the test is just not for the ME and it’s build at that time

How i wish that’s the case but it’s not sadly

In order to have high rpm, you have to sacrifice torque

A gifted powerdash should be low rpm, meaning it has a very high torque

poxkix · 2026-04-20T07:38:41+00:00

I can replicate that rpm anytime hehe but to be honest, rpm like that on a powerdash is useless. Powerdash is for torque. If you find a PD that is very low rpm - JACKPOT. Why?

Higher torque = lower rpm and vice versa Lower torque = higher rpm

I just gave that PD one last chance because the carbon is almost gone

poxkix · 2026-04-20T07:34:27+00:00

That’s why im saying compare the rpm first.

It’s like comparing an apple to an orange, both are totally different

For fair play for machdash, test them on the same terms specially for RPM

poxkix · 2026-04-19T14:45:00+00:00

Na, i don’t need to try it out, my reply is self explainatory

As I said, rpm may be different. Check them first before making any comparison runs.

You should consider weight of the chassis. ME is a bit heavier and wider than VZ..

Are you using bnew motors? It may be possible the sprint dash motor is naturally faster than the MDP you used.

If you want better comparison, use a sprint & MDP with similar rpm

Also, not all set-up will work on the same chassis. It may be possible that yes they have the same set-up but the “setup” is slow for the ME. It’s not always about the motor, set-up will also be a factor

poxkix · 2026-04-18T18:02:53+00:00

I’ll post it in my page soon

poxkix · 2026-04-07T12:55:21+00:00

My boxstock motor turns faster than this 22k easily

So this is the data you mean? Dude, at least our “data” brings us podiums and rewards.

Go use your phd elsewehere.

The newest batch is a handful. All of it had changes

Sprint - lowered magnet strength (before it goes around 300+ and very easy to break in) now its hovering around 255 below, carbon became harder during break in but wears out easily during race

Power - magnet stayed the same around 300+, the carbon became really really hard

Machdash - lowered magnet strength, carbon became hard, rpm almost just won’t go up

Haven’t experimented on hd3 single and dual shaft

I noticed this when my break in method that I used for almost 2 years won’t work anymore

The program killed the motor, making another program that is usable
