Just wondering if anyone here has tried it, I saw it on another board, I have two of these motors sitting around and was thinking about giving it a try.

hmmmmz, I got a billion motors laying around I took out of old broken toys.... I'm going to need a testmod. Does the gear on the spin brush fit right into the xmods gear or do I need to swap?

you need to either buy a pinion or pull a pinion from an xmod motor.

I just got my supra today, in fact i just got it together an hour ago, i am going to pick up the 5th cell for the "super charger" and the brush tomorrow, sounds AWSOME.

I tried the ff-180 or spin brush motor. The mod requires you to shim the rear motor mounts. You can't use the front mount at all. The motor also requires capacitors to be soldered onto it.

As far as performance goes I had dissapointing results. It has good acceleration, but the motor has no top end. A stage 2 drag is faster.

thats why u need to change the gear to 9 or 11

I have yet to insall the motor, cause I don't have a pinion puller, but the motors I have fit perfectly without any mods other than soldering on the connections and adding the correct pinion gear. are you sure you have the right motor?

picking up paint, the SB motor, and the fifth cell tonight, o yes......

xmodssupra,

I tried a 13 tooth pinion gear. The top speed was still no better than a stage 2 drag motor.

stl2ner,

I have the right motor. The model number is ff-180sh-22100. It does not fit with the front mount on. Try putting the motor in without the pinion gear on for a test fit. You don't need a pinion puller to do the mod. Buy a mini-z pinion and grind it down a little.

i did it, i used a Crest Spin-brush Pro. the motor fit perfectly. also u dont need a pinion puller, just use a propane torch to heat up the pinion. the brass will expand faster than the steel. then just use a pair of pliars to pull it off. i took the caps, pinion, and gear off of the blue stage 2. for the soldering just put alot of flux on the can an it works just fine. i used blue gear and the results were awesome just as much torque as the white stage 2 and just as topend as the yellow. very happy with it.

As an extended experiment I wet out and bought Three different types of spinbrushes. I'm taking one for the team. I got the reach, The cologate and the Crest pro. I got the first to at Big lot for 3&4 dollars. I am opening them up in a minute, I'm going to take pics and make reports during the week as I test the size (will it fit?) and some other data.
