motors for combat ? ?

[beetyii]

Anybody who knows a store or adress to get micro motors as they are built in in our combats ? :rolleyes:

One of my four combats has some difficulties with one of his motors and I won´t send it back because I´m living in Germany.

Perhaps someone is going to tune his combat and there are two motors he didn´t need anymore ? :D

i'm interested too...i want more speeeeeedddd lol

they have different numbers on the motors, which i'm guessing are the model numbers for the motors...i want some super fast ones!!

Now I´ve learned that the motors in a normal digi q and in the combats are the same. I think the numbers on it mean that they are selected because the numbers allways come as a pair. The motors have to be the same rpm to go straight. Even this is their biggest problem - if you don´t let them run in for along time(till there is no more changing of the rpm) your combat will allways be trimmed to the left - then a little to the right - more right - to the left..... it never get a stabil straight going.

Btw my motor that kept fooling me - after a second long run in it´s now perfekt. They all need only a little trimming so that all four combats are able to rotate on a point what they call :

The "Super Turning" Function

- Press Right or Left First
- Then Press "Backward"
- Then the Tank can rotate at Same Location

This only works if your trimming is not too much to one side.

One thing I have to say is that you should grease the wheels on their "axles" becauce plastic turning on plastic will wear out after some time espacally the two frontwheels ! When i put them off after a short runtime I saw a little white powder - plasticpowder.
These little guys need some service from time to time.

Last but not least :
Washing the treads from time to time reduces slipping at the inside.

It´s good to have this forum for charing our thoughts and technical information to reduce mistakes.

Don´t worry - be happy ! :D

What size are the motors? I have a lot of 6mm pager motors in stock and I am close to Essen :)
I have considered buying some tanks - where did you get yours from?

Oooops! Missed the part where you state the the motors are the same as in the cars. Checked my car and the motors are smaller than the pager motors I have.
OT - I just changed the motor in my Hummer Bit to one of the longer pager motors and it has a lot more torque but about the same speed. The Hummers would look great with the tanks :)

Hello Michael,

you are right, the hummers are welcome to complete my coming playable diorama for my tanks. I´m going to get some. Only problem they only come with two frequencies ( 27, 49 ) - but I need four of them, so I have to change the chassis with some clones ( 35, 45, 57 ).
