Where did you find all these? I may be looking to try them and see how they work. Those and the Great Planes ones that Tower sells.

I will admit that none of the 180 motors I have tried spins very fast, stock. Even the GPM Modified that is supposed to do 30k on six cells only does about 17k on four cells.

hey neuro, did any of the 180 motors you tested have ball bearings in the can and endbell as opposed to brass bushings?

[neurokinetik]

No, they all have the bushings. I'm not sure if any of the existing ball bearings for the 130 can be made to fit yet, either. I need to try it, actually.

ok so i just took a 180 motor out of a remington shaver, i do not need to put the cap and capicitator(sp?) and the other brown thingy from the x mods motors onto the 180 motor right?? just need to wire it in?

[TypeZer0]

if you want, go right ahead, but those things suppress noise and back emf so you'll be risking radio interference plus ESC damage

Would this Mini-Z motor be any good in my car

[00black_civic]

Or this one

[00black_civic]

Last one. Oh yeah would i need to upgrade FET's to put any of these in. Thanks for the help.

[neurokinetik]

Other than the S03, there have been no reports on those last three motors you have shown. The S03 does require a FET mod.

They are all 130 type motors, though, which means they really don't belong in this thread.

All right sorry for posting 130 motors but i dont know anything about motors and stuff like that on my XMOD. Yeah you could say im a noob to this but hey im brave enough to ask for help instead of fring my car because I "think" I know what im doing.

My Bad Sorry For The Inconvience.

Could you tell me how to tell the difference on these so I dont post the wrong size motors again?

Don't worry about it, I'm just trying to keep the thread on-topic so it deosn't get closed. 180 motors are the same height and width, but are about 50% longer than a 130 motor. Of the first five you posted, all are 180's except that M&Y motor.

Ok.. I have read through the forum, and a few other xmod forums.. Neuro seems to be one of the top motor guys. So, my question is.. Which 180 motor is the fastest/most torque combo without modifications.

What I would like to do is have a decent acceleration/top speed combo on hand for one car that has no fet upgrades or esc upgrades.. I want something that will be better than the RS motors(better than the SB motor too)

After I get all that figured out, then I will experiment with winding and other wiring/electronics upgrades on another car.. I just want one thats fast/solid/reliable so I don't go into withdrawals when my experimental car is in pieces


Thanks

i got to hand it to u man....u really scored that one man...i tried experimenting withe different otors once......and i seared my hand lol

The Team orion elite stock motor is a 180, right? I wanna buy it but I have a few questions first. All I have is the s1 stock motor and if I buy the team orion motor, I'll need a new pinion for it right? I don't have a pinion puller but is the stock xmod pinion easy to get off so then I can just put it on the orion motor? I sure hope so... I don't have the s2 motors from RS yet and I don't really want to buy them if I don't have to. I wanna buy this orion motor. If I have to I suppose I'll just buy the s2 upgrade and that'll be that but if I can I want this orion motor. Thanks in advance.

1. You need a pinion puller.
2. Stage 1 motor pack is the cheapest way to obtain pinions.
