180motor in XMOD - Page 6

KennyD · #76 02-10-2004, 05:10 PM

Ok, I think I'll go ahead and buy the s2 set from RS tomorrow after school. My current xmod is being a pain in the ass. I think the differential is really messed up in it because when I had the body off and floored the xmod the left tire would just spin and spin and the right tire would just sit still. I even applied pressure to the car to see if it would catch but it didn't. It's also got some stripped out screws above the rear end assembly now. I'm just gonna return it, 1 wheel drive isn't very fun to drive because it can't take turns very easily and is hella hard to control. After I return my xmod and get another, I'll buy the s2 kit and then go over to walmart and get a $4 spin brush and fiddle with that. If I'm not happy with my results then I'll break down and buy a reliable pinion puller (one that wont break on the first pinion) and an orion motor. Until then, later!

neuro, i was wondering, did you try winding your 180 motor in the same fashion as a 130 motor? any measurable difference?

I tried it with a 260, which is actually setup the same as a 180, timing-wise, and it was terrible.

I re did my 6 cell 180 civic. Heres a pic.

does anyone get heavy interference from their 180 motor? i got a 180 motor from a colgate motion toothbrush to fool around with before i order the team orion elite motor from towerhobbies. i have a 10micro farad non-polarized electrolyte between the terminals and each terminal has a ceramic disk (dunno value, it was a mixed bag from radioshack and i dont' have a meter that could measure it) grounding to the can like the RS motors. i get no problems wutsoever as soon as i switch back to any of my RS motors. the range is fine within 4 to 5 feet of me but any farther and it stutters or simply loses connection altogether

I've never had a problem. The setup that comes stock on the Team Orion works well (as I noticed on the oscilloscope) Personally, I would just transfer over a set of caps along with the connector from one of the stock RS motors, and try that.

Okay I have got it narrowed down to these 3

Dynamite Mini Mod Motor

Team Orion Elite stock motor for Micro RS4.

180 SH Mini Motor

Im Looking for torque but i also want to go faster than the S2 Top Speed motor. You tell me which would be better and ill order it. Thanks in advance.

neuro, just curious, even though the team orion motor has caps already on it, do you still use the caps that came from teh RS motors?

Nope. I use the ones that come stock on the TO motor. They work fine for me.

ok, just wondering. guess i'll give up on this motor if transplanting the RS caps form teh S2 motors don't work and get the TO motor. btw, thanks for the fast response lol

Have any of your tried the Megatech ball bearing motors??

Still no answer but i just did a 6-cell today if that makes any difference. Thanks

TypeZer0 · #88 02-22-2004, 07:35 PM

for me, the team orion motor had way more torque than the 180sh motor from the colgate motion

00black_civic · #89 02-22-2004, 07:44 PM

OK thanks has any one tried the Dynamite Mini Mod Motor, dont know if I wanna try it or not I think ill just buy the Team Orion one unless someone can tell me the Dynamite is better and have actually tried both.

How is the top speed on the team orion?

TypeZer0 · #90 02-22-2004, 08:35 PM

i dunno where to even get the dynamite one, haven't seen one in internet stores yet. neuro said the team orion motor was slow but i consider it quite fast, it's faster than a stage 2 with the same gear ratio and faster than my stage 2 with some turns taken out (it's 35 turns right now and it's too cold to test it outside so i only got 15 to 20 feet to get it up to speed and it's still not as fast at the team orion) i'd like to take it apart and take some turns out but i'm too lazy to desolder the terminals so i can remove that circuitboard on teh back and get to the endbell. btw, that circuitboard merely holds three surface mount caps, nothing special.
