melting temp of lexan and carbon fiber?
im goin to buy a 210,000 rpm motor for my xmods. th chassis consists of iron, aluminum, titanium and carbon fiber. the body is lexan. im pretty sure that the metals wont melt, but im not sure about the lexan and carbon fiber. plz answer, i really dont wanna melted xmod!
First, the melting point of carbon fiber is 3,650 C. That is 6,602 degrees F. If you are running it at over 6,000 degrees, i doubt you will only be having issues with the chasis.
So no worries there.
However, a more realistic worry would be the polycarbonate known as Lexan. It melts at about 300 degrees F. I doubt that the motor surfaces will be that hot, and if they are then just be sure that the Lexan does not actually touch the motor.
I would recommend you check to see the operating temperature around the motor prior to installing the body. Either test it yourself, or give the company a call. Now, since I do not know what an XMOD is, I cannot really give you my own idea about the running temp of this motor. But, using the temperatures I gave you, you should be off to great start.
