flywheel question

[WaHoo_1]

DOH! Is there an existing difference between 61x and 62t flywheels, or such a thing? I'm getting somewhat conflicting info. I have two flywheels. One with magnets somewhat seperated and one with the magnets continously surrounding the flywheel. The latter is I believe the 62t (new in plastic), and the first one being the 61x? Also, can you temp run a x f/wheel in a t engine w/o any major problems resulting? Thanks.

yes there is a difference. Spaced magnets is from a 61x, solid type is 62t. You can only use the stator that each one is made for. I believe the t stator is larger, and therefore the X one will not fit.

I believe LBE is correct. I upgraded my blaster last year from a 61x to a 62t 760. The only thing I kept from the 61x ws the electronics, flywheel and crank. I am running a 62t motor with complete 61x electronics and flywheel no problem. But I don't think you can mix flywheeles because the stators are different.

werd up....

There are 2 differant train of thoughts with what happens with the differant flywheels. I'll explain the differances first

61x has a smaller dia stator/magnets. The magnets are exposed, it is physicly 1/2 pound lighter than a T flywheel. Is easily identified by the magnets & the D shaped hole in the front.

62t Larger in Dia Stator/ magnets. Magnets are embedded, it's heavier.
identified by enclosed magnets & round holes in the front.

Both flywheels can be lightened by .5-.6 tenths of a pound (safely)

A lot of people opt to have X flywheels reather than T's because of weight. & then cut them lighter. Others opt for the T because they sight the "windage" from the X magnets , counter affects the lighter quality of the flywheel. Both stators are adaptable to the electrics & need to be run with their counterpart flywheel ( no mixing & matching).

In FS boats, The X is my choice for the weight differance. I have not seen a differance in the windage theory. overall, use what you have. the slight weight differance doesn't make a big enough differance to over come the cost factor.

nicely said paul!!!!


but my question is, how are you porting my cyl and typing at the same time? :Banane37: :biggrin:

I was wondering the same thing, Get back to work
Paul coffee break is now over. Also please log out so we can be sure you are working on our cylinders and remember the most important thing is safety glassed.:cool2: Now get grinding......

someone please delete this post before 61x flywheels and stators cost as much as the tnt chaimbers... :scared:

That will never happen, There isn't enough differance.


Now, I just recieved the new WAX charging ignition........................
I have to hand it to him, very nice job with this.

I'm playing with curves & such. It has way more tunability than the Vilder & factory fire. I have a feeling this will be the Sh*# !

the dyno will be running soon!! Updates tomorrow!!

who needs coffee.........what yoiu need to do is just snort a line of ground metal...THAT'll get ya going!!!!!:aargh4:

 

[yamaslut]

I got an X flywheel stator and all the electronics...

Hmmmmmmm????

thanks for the clarification all! And that concludes our lesson for the day....

[SuperJETT]

The extra turbulence caused by the open magnets provides increased cooling to the stator, and cooler wire has lower resistance, which generates more current/voltage, which equals a hotter spark! There! Lighter and hotter spark from a 61x flywheel/stator, proven.

nope... might be selling my 62-t stuff though

Slut is nothing but a slutty tease!:wink:

 

[Marshj]

Is the difference noticeable enough to go through the hassel to swithout the T for the X electrics Paul? (say If I had an X set lying around?)

I don't belive this. Air needs to circulate to cool. there's no air transfer to allow for it? Sorry jett! I was looking to use you for a scape goat on the rising cost of X flywheels............. I guess I'm stuck with it!!


Marshj, I wouldn't spend the time to change, just because. But if you have nothing better to do or you are doing maintaince anyway, then Yes change it & see for yourself.
