My motor swap.

[redrokin00XJ]

Decided to start my Motor swap today. And it's about time! I went with Integy V10 60T Motors.

Really they are not that much longer then the stock.



The nice part is.... I moded my gear boxes ahead of time so all I had to do is enlarge a few hols and DONE!


I will update everyone when I find out how well this all works.

Just for shits and gigs I put my plastic gears in to see how they last with the new motors.... Just from playin with it in my house I can see a HUGE DIFF! with it. Damn near no Clod stall and I have all the power I would ever need. Best upgrade thus far.

Ummm This may be a stupid question, but what is glued to the top of your servo ?

The gear box mod was really easy, a little cuttin and a little fiberglass and a some sheet metal... Persto! I've seen better but this works for me.

Hey notta prob..... If you are seriously wantin to do yours I will be more then happy to help out. I still have a ton of fiberglass to get the job done. It's a lot easier then it looks.

I suck at fiberglass, everything else shouldn't be a problem. It will be a while off, as I have two other projects ahead of it. Saving money for a micro for the neighbor, he's had a rough go and he likes my r/c's. While doing that I am piecing together an scx10. My 10 is down for now cause I put an xr10 chassis on it that only fits a LiPo, I don't think the novak LiPo cutoff is compatible with the stock esc, so I have to save up for a sidewinder. Just like real cars, all of them need just a couple bucks to finish lol

WOW!... I know how that goes. Well if you wanna breakdown your axle and bring it to me I can mod it for when youre ready. Thats how I did mine. I did my axles about a month ago and it was just a bolt in when I got my new motors. It was nice and easy. So I can do it when ever ya want. Just hit me up whenev.

Well yea.... Kinda.... I stripped it to build my LCC I bought yesterday. Used the motor, And put the other motor in my wifes LNC. And used the ESC and the servo. Swapped tires.... So now I have a sad little RS10. And yes I will prob be gettin around to sellin what I have left of it. Or I just might keep it and build it back up with cheaper motors and what not for the kids.... Depends on if some one makes me an offer I can't refuse I guess

[Jer]

It's going to be hard to sell the rs10, I say put some cheap motors in and let the kids have it, or leave it as a backup for lunches on the trails in moab. Or you could just trade me the modded halves for my stockers

Sure I will trade ya.... if I wanna do 540s I will just mod yours

[Jer]

Thanks, but I was just teasing. If I start on my rs10, then my half built scx10 will never get finished lol. Once the honcho is done I'll drop mine off and a 6'r of the beverage of your choice.
