Losi Insane 370 Motor - A High Power Brushless RC Motor

An Overview of the Losi Insane 370 Motor

The Losi Insane 370 motor is a high-performance brushless motor designed specifically for remote control (RC) vehicles like cars, trucks, and buggies. This motor provides insane amounts of power to give you blistering fast speed and acceleration.

What Makes the Losi Insane 370 Motor Special

There are a few key features that set the Losi Insane 370 apart from other RC motors:

• Extreme KV rating - The KV rating refers to rpm per volt. At 370 KV, the Losi Insane achieves very high rpm speeds even on low voltage batteries.
• High efficiency design - The motor uses neodymium magnets and precision balancing to minimize friction and electrical losses.
• Durable construction - The motor casing and shafts are made from tough materials like aluminum and steel to handle intense use.
• Advanced cooling - Cooling fins help dissipate heat to prevent overheating during extended periods of high speed use.

Unmatched Power and Performance

With the extreme KV rating combined with high efficiency design, the Losi Insane 370 produces insane torque and horsepower for its size. You can expect up to 30% more power compared to other brushless motors.

This gives RC vehicles using the Losi Insane 370 motor the ability to reach top speeds over 100+ mph. It also delivers explosive acceleration - vehicles can go from 0 to over 60 mph in just 2-3 seconds.

Using the Losi Insane 370 In Your RC Vehicle

The Losi Insane 370 can be used in many types of RC vehicles, but works best for high performance applications:

• Speed runs - The extreme power lets RC cars reach over 100 mph top speeds for speed run competitions.
• Drag racing - The instant torque provides incredible launch speeds for drag racing.
• Buggies and trucks - Short course trucks and buggies benefit from improved acceleration and handling.

Gearing for Different Uses

You can adjust gear ratios depending on how you plan to use your RC vehicle. For top speed runs, a high gear ratio is ideal. For racing and better acceleration, lower gear ratios are better to maximize torque.

Battery and ESC Considerations

To properly power the Losi Insane 370 motor, you need:

• High capacity, high C-rating LiPo batteries - This provides the heavy amperage needed to deliver full power.
• Advanced speed control (ESC) - A suitable ESC helps regulate smooth delivery of power to the motor.

FAQ

What vehicles is the motor compatible with?

The Losi Insane 370 motor can work with many 1/5 and 1/6 scale RC cars, trucks and buggies from a variety of brands, as long as you use the right mounting hardware and gearing.

How long will it last?

With proper maintenance and avoiding damage, the Losi Insane 370 is designed to run strong for a long time thanks to its durable construction and efficient cooling system.

Is this an easy motor to install and use?

The Losi Insane 370 does require some RC mechanical skill to properly install and tune for your vehicle and desired use. But it is designed to be an easy direct replacement for most existing brushless motors.

FAQs

What type of sensor does the Losi Insane 370 use?

The Losi Insane 370 is a sensorless brushless motor, meaning it does not use hall effect sensors. Instead advanced ESC technology provides electronic control for optimal performance.

What maintenance does the motor require?

You should periodically clean the motor with compressed air to remove dirt and debris. Check that all mounting screws remain tight. Also inspect solder connections to ensure they are secure.

What gear mesh setting should I use?

For high speed running, a gear mesh of 0.15mm (0.006 inches) is ideal. For offroad use where more torque is needed, loosen the mesh to 0.25mm (0.010 inches).

Can I install the motor in non-RC applications?

While designed for RC use, the Losi Insane 370 could potentially be used to power robotics projects, small drones, electric skateboards or other custom electric vehicle projects requiring a lightweight, high output power system.
