thanx
first

Well first off the Stock motors can be modified to achieve more power and sometimes better runtimes.

I use both modified stock Can Clodbuster 540 Mabuchi motors as well as
19 turn Speed Gems depending on turain.

To modify the stockers you will need the following.
2 Stock Can 540 motors with 13 tooth pinions
4 Sub C Cell batteries, 1200's work just as good as 3000's
Bucket of Water
WD 40 or Motor Cleaner for Electric motors
and a Blow Dryer.

First things first Wire the 4 C Cells together and add a positive and negative wire lead to them.
Charge the battery's to peak

Next Add to the wires some Gator Clips or a Deans connector to both the Motors and the batteries, Tamiya Connectors work too.

Grab a bucket, 1-5 gallon bucket works fine. Add Water half to 3/4 full
Put the motor in the water up to the top or Bell end of motor attach the Battery pack to motor and run motor in water till batteries are dead.

Clean the motor with Cleaner or WD 40 spraying all of the Epoxy and gunk out of motor, now while doing this Recharge battery to peak.
Dry motor with Blow Dryer

Repeat process 2-4 times this process not only removes some of the Excess epoxy but allows the motor to turn at a higher Rate of speed and to produce more Torque over stock. Works great and the motor has 2 times the torque of stock and speeds close to that of a 19 turn motor.

Best of all its cheap and works great.

Yup good tips there-that also works on Traxxas stingers and other closed can motors. Alot of guys out there run Magnetic Mayhems from Kyosho.

[jugg_crawler]

Yeah I would run Mag Mayhems with some low tooth pinions. That would be the best set-up in my opinion.

i run power wheels moters in my clod and this is what i have to say-fast and powerfull

[firstumustcrawl]

but why does everyone use a closed endbell motor not a rebuildable one?? this is sumping me

[zBigBadWolf]

Wow I never heard of that water trick!

I have five different motors I run each with thier own personality. I am putting them in order of preference, first being my favorite. All of them except the Rush are 550 size cans.

1. Kyosho Megas: Loads of torque, better speed than the MMs

2. AYK Magnum 360LBs: lots of torque, better speed than the MMs

3. Magnetic Mayhems: lots of torque, low speed
3. Electrifly T-600s: Cheap ($14 each) equal to the MMs in all other areas

4. Orion Rush 27turn: Good torque, good speed

[RSXtreme]

yeah Rich the water trick is an old puller trick as well as an old hop up in the 80's that still applies today.

Give it a try, it works we do it with most of our stock motors

i have a set of titans from my emaxx should i use those or even can i use those or should i do the water trick sorry for the dumb question :? but thanx for the other replies

[jmirsberger]

just look for a junked power wheels 4wheeler and take the moters out of the rear axel

[Dontstall_Rockcrawl]

yup i run magnectic mayhems with 14t pinions and i plan on going lower. Oh and by mistake, i ordered the reverse rotations, both of them. but this was an advantage. what i did was flip everything around so now my battery tray sits up front and electronics in back. turned out to work quite well

Funny thing about that, when I was in "toys R us" I opened to the seat of a powerwheels and it was a Titan it was the same size and had the same cooling fans.

thats what im running in my clod the hardest part of modding them to fit was to get the pinnions that were on it off

[Bigbadwhitey]

Yup The Power wheel Motors Are Great!

[firstumustcrawl]

i think im gunna do that water trick its easy and gives alot of power. and also anyone running the tc3 heatsinks to keep temp down??

you also run them? if so do u use a esc

[CHSRacing]

FMC,,,, I use the TC 3 heatsinks also... I think they work great.. Anything to get rid of the heat ... Have fun... CHS
