|  Is my lathe motor fried or am I under geared?
so I have a 55t integy with a 13t to a xxx-t tranny, revo diffs and narrowed maxx mashers on a fairly light rig, and it will barly go up a wall with the other tires on my slick deck, it stalls out. I broke it in in annother rig so I dont know how it was new, and when i put it in this one I put too long of screws in to mounts it  so they were rubbing and making an owfull noise, that I couldnt figure out till it wore away a little of the magnets.So I have tried a bunch of different things to try and figure out my problem, and in the process Ive got it pretty hot a bunch of times which may have taken a toll on it?? I took it apart and nothing looked real wrong butt I dont know too much about electric motors. thanks for any help. Last edited by Full Penetration Fab.; 09-14-2006 at 05:12 PM. |

Sounds more like it might be a battery issue. What's your whole setup as far as electronics go? And make sure your drivetrain isn't binding... ...and what size spur are you running? |

Try buying another one. They are cheap enough to have a spare.

I hear that the integy motors are notorious for the comm being out of round when new. You might try having it turned.

How many cells you running? For a 55t I only run 8+ cells |

Well I figured it out, I didnt know the spur gear moved in and out when under load and it was real close to my mount and when under load it would move out a little and jam itself on the mount. And I have an 8 cell batterie but its only a 1200 stick for my air soft gun, it seemed to work better but I havnt tried it with it fixed, i would definatly like to gear down a little and add a couple cells though. |
