I'm running the Team Orion motor at 7.5v on stock fets. Quite frankly, it's more car than I can handle. For dragracing, no problem, but taking corners is now a challenge.

Neuro says a top speed stage 2 has better top speed but less torque than Team Orion. Is this true? Should I use blue gear and matching pinion? How much modding is needed for this to fit in a 6-cell Civic?
Sorry for all the questions and numerous posts. Im kinda new and dont want to screw anything up. Thanks.

That's true, but the Team Orion motor has better acceleration with the tallest gear than the lowest gear on a S1 motor. It reaches high speed very quickly. I used the blue gear and pinion.
To fit in a civic, you shouldn't have to mod anything short of the connector on the motor, unless it's going to get in the way of one of your cells. I don't know where you put your cells though.

well, you're just gonna have to find out who's gonna win the drag race. if he does catch up, then go back and do some more modding then race him again.

HPI 180 motor at 160 DEGREES!!!
OMG...After running my Xmod in the garage for about 7mins I opened it up and just about burned my finger on the motor. So I decided to check the temp, it WAS 161 DEGREES FARENHEIT. By the time i got my camera out it was down to 144. See pic. Is this a bad thing?

Yup it still runs fine. Brought it down to the local track. Everyone was just amazed at the acceleration. Way too much torque even with AWD and the tallest gears. The speed tops out in about 1 second at full throttle.
Too bad the RS electronics have no range. The little car could barely make it around the track. It glitched about 90% of the time.
Also ran my Mini-t with 8cells and Baja motor. Now that motor was running at a scorhin 250 degrees.

take my advice, dont get them too hot. use as many heat sinks as possible. if they are getting that hot youre losing performance, and motor life.

Heres my gauranteed heat problem solution on the left is 130 case I use the dremel to put vents in it, long on this side and short on the other side, with all the air moving in and out the motor doesnt really have any time to get that hot. It runs so cool you dont need a heat sink.
The middle and right are spin brush pro motors. A while back I bought a few of these because I thought it was better to have 3 motors, 1 toothbrush with 3 replacement heads, and 6 extra AA batteries to have laying around all for the same price of a regular 180 motor that I would probably have to still modify, but to find out after the motor died the brushes and the spinbrushes are paper thin, they disenegrated. Now I finally got my fets in (thanks neuro excellent mod) so I need a souped up 180 motor since the SBP brushes are not all that good I trimmed and added a xmod endcap works great so far, next will be bearings in the 180!! I dont even know its probably already been done all I can say Im making the same move.

(first reply  )
so, about 180 motors in general, if you made one hot enough to fry the FETs, wouldn't it be one f***ing fast motor, while you still had plenty of torque?

I just got a 180 motor from atomicsmods.com and they don't get hot AT ALL, but I only run 4 I-C3's. This thing has more than enough power for me.
I want to try and run a team orion stock elite motor, but I need a pinion puller. Anyone know how much these cost?
