| Is this a crawler motor for the C.C. ?
I couldn't find any info on this motor, maybe someone can chime in http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUHH6&P=7 |

its listed under micro rs4 parts, 18t, and 18b on integys site, so im gonna guess its high rpm :( good find though. looks like im not teh only one digging |

Yeah, that works, I used similar 1/18 scale motors. Pretty much any motor you get is too fast for the thing. I use RC4WD 380 motor size gear reduction units. They make the wheel speed just right. It lowers the wheel speed enough to put some good size 2.2 tires on it. I also swapped the ESC for a 19t sport with reverse. I don't plan on going to LiPo anytime soon, but it would be pretty easy to. Last edited by tom tom; 02-25-2009 at 08:30 AM. |

mikes sending me a set of the reductions friday to test. what are you doing for link/shock clearance though tom tom? doing some measureing last night, the stock motors appear to actually be 400 long can motors, not true 380 motors Last edited by STANG KILLA SS; 02-25-2009 at 08:32 AM. |

Yes, whats your secret to making the extra length fit? The links are right close to the stock motor location as it is, let alone trying to make another 1 inch squeeze in there.

I guess that the is modding the plastic link mount to mount the motor on top of the reduction unit, kinda what i had to do with my 454's to make them fit.

Come to think of it I might just play around with link mounts and shock mounts for a bit. Got some extra T4 and losi shocks lying around and lots of aluminum tubing in my shop. Maybe I will have a glorious breakthrough. Last edited by tom tom; 03-01-2009 at 12:49 AM. | ||

What about the Duratrax CC 8500 and 11k motors? Are those any better than stock?

more wheelspeed, less low end torque, i dont know what duratrax was thinking there. could be the ticket for the gear reductions though.

| OH OH OH, might have something here
Almost done with the Rockbuggy. Rx crapped. LRP Micro can only handle 7cells. Neodym 45T from Promax are way to fast, even after timing adjustments. Found two others to try, from an unlikely source.

| Yes way, it's possibe. It's not a direct fit, you have to move the upper link and shock mounting location. I have the axle put together with the motor and redution as well as some extra badlands I have sitting around for mockup.

I unwrapped one of the stock Duratrax 5000 motors and found it to be about 140 turns (of wire). The Molon #CM0-1237 above, were about 60 turns. So why, when swapped out on the same CC, same volts, same pinion, does the Molon run slower then the Duratrax? Tried to wrap the 5 pole Molon, it was tough. Then tried the Duratrax, I could not get it above 150 turns of wire with the gauge of wire I had. | |

This may be a dumb question, but i was thinking, is it possible that the DTX vendetta motors might have more torque over the stock ones with the gearing the cliff climber has?

| 380/380/370 wrapping compared
Three motors torn down and unwrapped. TOP Duratax 3pole. 140 turn +/-30ga. I tried to wrap 170 turns of 30ga. on one pole, second pole would not hold more then 100 turns then. MIDDLE Molon #CM0-1237 5 pole. +/-60 turn, +/-30ga. I started to wrap it with 100 turns of 30ga. Pole wraps on a 5pole overlap, so second poles wraps started to get too full again. Might try smaller ga. wire. BOTTOM Promax Neodym 370 PMX-3745 3pole. 45turns of 26ga(?). I wrapped this with 140 turns of 30ga. (shown). Has neodym magnets, bearings, and replaceable brushes. Shorter rotor. 2mm shaft size. Had 'OK' torque, but was too fast on 8.4v. More to come. |
