I just got my second Rover today:D I found out just how fast my old Rover is that I replaced the motors with Mabuchi 130 motors.The old Rover is 4 times faster than the new one:eek: :D
I had to replace one motor that burned out and being a tank you need to replace both motors with the same RPM's or the tank will pull to one side.I purchase the motor from my LHS they sell them in packs of 4 for the low rider car hopper motors.One disadvantage of the faster motors is you don't have as much percise control.I can make my new rover spin in circles on a top of a 4"by 6" foam square on top of my ramp to ramp rover toy.The faster motor Rover spins off.Now I am in search of some lower RPM Mabuchi 130 Motors.
