If I have a 250w motor but only use it at half throttle, will it cause any harm to the motor?

Your controller can only deliver as many watts as your motor can draw. Your can always use a controller that allows higher wattage, just not higher voltage.

I've got one controlling two motors, one running forward and one in reverse, at the same time. As long as you don't go over the amp rating you should be good.

It only has programming for up to 4s, so it could be disasterous. I had a motor grenade on me and somehow overload it. Everything seemed fine until I plugged in a new motor and it shot fire and smoke 3 ft in the air. Be careful...lol.

its depends on where you position the handle and throttle. no absolute wrong or right way

Yes you may; however, keep in mind these motors include a starter winding which may be defective.

yes, make sure you vent from side and back. It is important so the motor does not burn out.

the flight time could possibly overheat the motors if you run them at close to full power for a long time. The motor should have a rating on it showing how much voltage and amps it draws, i would be more worried about your esc. But i would imagine that you should be fine because it is only a two cell.

Hello Gail. It is a 500 watt motor and goes a steady 20 mph for me. I hope I have answered your question. Tony

I have not had any issues with the processing power. On another site, i found this reference: "625 watt motor is powerful enough to handle a large variety of processing tasks"

obviously you know the controller doesn't work. Why do you wnt to replace it with one which only delivers 350 w, if you want to only use 3/4 of the power your motor has, that is fine, if you want full power (you don't have to use it all the time) buy the 500 w controller... Gunter

I Don't think using a speed control will cause a problem. Larger AC motors do get hot from under-voltage and lower than normal rotation speed, however, this small fractional motor runs well at all speeds. Bottom line: run the blower at your desired reduced speed and check the motor temperature with your hand. If it is not too hot to touch and hold then all is fine.

No, it will burn up your motor. You can buy a long-lasting 20 V. And remember the weed eater has two settings one will use less power, and level 2 uses more power. I hope this is helpful.

I would not use it without a transformer. Using it without a transformer would most likely burn up the motor.

You can, but it's not recommended. I assume it's bad for the motor or something to that effect.

all depends on your gearing if overgeared any motor will overheat with any battery . I run a castle 3800 kv and mamba max controller . never overheat

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

Extremely unlikely. Even if the batteries fitted (they are usually specifically shaped with connectors that only fit the correct appliance) the higher voltage would, unless specifically compensated for by the drive circuits, drive excessive current through the motor leading to overspeed and/or rapid burnout.
