where else do you guys buy the MM motors?

i looked on Tower and they are out until late Aug. and i also looked over on RC4WD. com and only seen the Titan motors

also, my LHS has a trinity 27 turn motor. has anyone used those before? are they any good?

did a search....

these guys have them...but they are WAY over priced, 31 bucks!

this may work though...

its not a mag mayhem...but you got silver can power! they are "600's" by plane specs, but are actually 550's. i don't know how they perform, but i plan to pick some up for my crawler project.

the specs of the two motors are similar, input voltage, 22x1, 550 can size. the great planes motor has 3 degree timing locked in...and you can't change brushes. if these don't work i still have a pair of hashed MM i can throw into the crawler if neeed be.

i was wondering like toyota there about the trinity 27 turns? has any body used them? how do they work, can u compare them to a MM?

bustedcrawler · 06-26-2004, 11:51 PM

I got mine from Tower in May...So I am not sure. Just search all the online hobby shops. A little long and boring..but it is the best I can come up with.

TwistedCreations · 06-27-2004, 04:25 PM

thanks guys, i'll just have to search around on the web then.. as boring as it gets

so has noone ever used the Trinity 27 turn motor?? are they worth the $30 my LHS wants for it?? cmon guys, someone has had to try it :?

27 turns is a stock wind. The mag mayhems are 22 turns.

Less turns = more power and torque and the mag mayhems are 550 cans which means the magnets are stronger which gives more torque.

So, the 27 turn won't be up to MM snuff.

TwistedCreations · 06-27-2004, 05:59 PM

ahh ok, i thought the more turns the motor had, the more toque it had no matter what. if that's the case then why are people running those 55turn lathe motors? or is that comparing apples to oranges?

kap06 · 06-27-2004, 06:45 PM

hm, i didn't know guys were running 55t motors.

anyway, the Kyosho X-speed 550's (twinforce motors) are 27 turn stock motors. the reason they have such good performance is that they run doulbe their normal voltage when used with the EVX (made for 6-7 cells, but getting 12-14 cells).

i know that hobby people.net and stormerhobbies.com don't carry those motors. hobbypeople.net only carry kyosho kits and stormerhobbies.com doesn't even carry Kysho...thought that might help.

TwistedCreations · 06-27-2004, 08:06 PM

ok, well i just found a LHS that has a online store. they have those 55t motors so i picked one up and am gonna try it.. for $20 what the hell huh??

Ultima · 06-27-2004, 08:55 PM

ya really...whats the web site????

TwistedCreations · 06-28-2004, 03:17 PM

the main page is www.rccaronline.com but here is the lathe motor http://h1070383.hobbyshopnow.com/ser...=ALL&tag=qsrch

i should be getting mine here in a few days, so we shall see how it does. i just hope it isn't too slow to where i cant bump up stuff and hopefully it fits in the 1st place

there is a guy on here CHSracing that told me he was using them in 2 of his trucks and he really liked them. so i thought what the hell
