Saw this 360 video clip of sipes and thought posting it here looks pretty crazy

I’ve watched to many 450’s flame out from hitting the brake in the air.

Yeah. He actually got up and walked away. Blink

Sometimes when I watch videos like this, I have the ability to put myself in their boots and I get a shot of adrenaline and my heart skips a beat! I think my feet are starting to hurt!!

It wasnt a 450. It was a 350.

Electric motors can and do lock up sometimes. You can also blow the drive electronics or fail battery/wiring and it can fail on an impact like a jump face or whoops.

They can lock when the rotor or bearing explodes.... but not flame out when hitting the brakes..... lol.... like Ever

I know in my RC cars you cannot panic rev a brushless motor. I don’t know if the bikes are that way or not.

Recluse CX clutch would have saved him? Bike should have been still running right?

So.... you drive rc cars and are spewing knowledge on electric motorcycles??? Wtf???

Anywhos.... yes... you can have insane panic Rev on an elect mc (and rc too... you've never driven an e revo on 6s????).... like a Lot more over Rev than gas.... you can Rev them out till the rotor explodes..... assuming you don't have Rev limitation turned on....

Unlike you I have driven Rc cars in a race enough to know what they do on a jump. Unless the tech is different in the bike it may have the same problem. Since you don’t know about race level Rc brushless motors (nothing Traxxas sells is for serious racers) I can assume you know the same amount about electric race bike motors.

Most of the torque in a panic rev is being generated from the rear wheel on a motorcycle

Spinning the wheel is what does most of the pitch control in a panic rev.

Yup. The inertia of the wheel is much greater than that of the engine. My guess would be with an RC car the motor inertia is not negligible compared to the wheel like it is on a motorcycle.

Electric Motor inertia on an Rc car is definitely a factor but not as much as the wheels. Nitro engine inertia is not very noticeable but again the wheels are. bottom line is you can pitch the car both ways in the air with brushed motors and nitro engines but brushless apparently have some safety rev limiter in them.

I don't know, man...falling from 4 stories up, or hitting a rock or tree at GNCC speeds seems equally shitty to me.

Yes you can panic rev brushless motors. Some cheap RC speed controllers have lag but you can do it anyway.
Electric motors hardly ever lock up. Bearing can give up of course.
