Problems with 3.8
 

A few days ago, I posted on the Microsizer forum that I was having trouble with 2 3.8 engines. Both of them I ordered burned out on me after very few charges. The adminstrator of that group (TinyRC?) told me to send an email. I couldn't really find one (I have a little trouble navigating this site), so I sent it to the admin. Since then, I have received no word on any replacement motor.

Is this the correct place to inquire about it? I bought the motors from tinyrc. The first one burned out after a continuous battery test of around 6 minutes. The second one burned out a day later when I was just running laps with my friends. Both motors had barely been used prior to this. Please help.

MicroFury,

I supply TinyRC with the 3.8 motors, so if there is a problem with their motors, there is a problem with my motors. Please send both of your defective 3.8 motors to:

Kyle Clemmons
P.O. Box 244
Brownsville, KY 42210

I'll test them and try to determine what defects they had. I'll send you 2 new 3.8 motors to replace these defective ones. I'm sorry for this trouble. I'll do my best to make it up to you.

Kyle

hey bitcharg-motors do u supply tiny with r-specs 2 cause mine burned out and now it studdeders around the room

BabyKiller,

Yes I do supply TinyRC with R-Spec motors. You can send your defective motor to the address below and I'll replace it for you.

to the website?

hmm ill send it to ur po box but do u pay all the shippng?

oh and 1 last thing if u supply tiny with r-specs than whay do u only sell the purple 3.8 on ur site?

Trouble with R-Spec
 

I just recieved two motors and two new batteries a couple of days ago. One R-Spec and one 3.8...both from this site. I must say the r-spec is super fast, blows everyone around here away...Starts off slow but runs everyone down in a matter if a foot or so and then smokes them. Its so fast, nobody wanted to race anymore. The problem is it only lasted about 2 hours before it started slowing down..then speeding up....off and on...tried it in a couple of cars and its the same...

I just put the 3.8 in both test cars and it runs great...I think I got a bad R-Spec....A super fast motor but didn't last...

I have two emails sent to tiny...

anyone else had any troubles?

dont sewnd em to tiny cause they send it to bitchargg-motors.com ask for a replace ment and send it to u or somtin like that

Thanks...you sound like you have been thrrough it before...your impression and were the replacements any better?

actually considering it took 7+days for me to get my motor thats what i think but im sending my motor off to this guy instead

Ok...thanks..

cool avatar...where did ya get it?

:D

BabyKiller,

Send it to the P.O. Box. You pay shipping to me and I pay shipping back to you. I don't sell the R-Spec on my site because TinyRC asked for exclusive rights to sell the motor or their site. Because they are such good customers and run such a great site, I let them have it.

DoctorDyna,

You can send your defective R-Spec to the P.O. Box also, and I'll replace it for you.

Thanks...I'll send it out tomorrow morning..

We are not all that far away..I'm just outside of Dayton..

Tiny wants me to send it his way but I'm thinking he will just be going through you so I will ship it to you...

Padded envelope good enough?

Motor Break In
 

Kyle...

Before I possible start running my remaining fast motor (3.8)...any break in required or suggested on these things..

thank you:) ill send mine out right away

k its shiped off

Motor Sent
 

Ok...Kyle..

Sent the motor away a couple of hours ago, you should have it middle of next week.

Just a quick question....actually two..

Still wondering about the motor break in..

Secondly...I sent you back the pink motor and just realized they were not marked from Tiny. I recieved a dark blue and a pink motor on Tuesday...I'm not sure which is the r-spec and which is the 3.8...I'm thinking the pink is the R-Spec..the one I sent back..

Let me know if I am right or not..

Thanks

pink-3.8
r-spec- dark blue

Ok...well then...looks as though I was wrong about the r-spec...the pink one seemed so much faster than the dark blue...

well, need to do a few laps with the blue (r-spec) and post my opinions...

Both are fast...

still smoking the neighbor kids....

Ok...

the setup..

Microsizer Lancer..
Medium tires..
150MahNiMH
8.25 gears
R-Spec motor

Not done the Range PCB Mod yet..but still getting about 15 feet..

Seems faster than the 3.8. I'm giving everyone a 3 foot head start and blowing by them at 8 feet and winning by 6 feet the length of my kitchen (about 18 feet) before slamming into whatever is there.

The trouble now is controling it..at speed you had better not touch the turning control..

The fastest car until now was a Motorworks clone with a white motor (I think a 3.2 motor)...The motorworks if fast because it seems to have larger wheels in the back and a quick motor..

BUT NO MORE...

I realize this is nothing compaired to the 2cell mods and the like, but am getting there. My two cell attempt ended up creating a parts car....A Microsizer HS2000

:)

Wow..

My R-Spec just stopped working....will run very slow if you move the wheels...I can't believe this..all my other motors work fine in the same cars..

$22.00 worth of motor's...Less than four days...the 3.8 on its way back and the other (the r-spec) craps out...won't even start by itself without the gears on it..Tried it in two cars..

WOW....I don't know what to say....

Hey kyle i to have a 3.8 problem, but i got mine a month ago.. and i havnt been using it in my cars, then i got my booster (from u guys) and i tried the 3.8 in it.. and it just stutters or doesnt go.. or i have to give it a push to get it going.. i tried it in my shen and it does the same thing.. is there a problem with it? or is it just typical for the 3,8.. im really mad cuz its tottally usless!:confused:

takumi_drifto,

That's not typical for a 3.8. There must be something wrong with it. You can send it back to me and I'll send you a new one. Send it to:

Kyle Clemmons
P.O. Box 244
Brownsville, KY 42210

I'll test it to see what the problem could be, and I'll send you a new one as soon as it arrives.

um its been like 2weeks i still have no motor im the one who sent fr 1007beechdale ave. and i included a print out of ur address:mad:

BabyKiller,

You returned the motor in a box that the Post Office wouldn't place in my P.O. Box, and they asked me to come in during business hours to pick it up. Because I have a full time job located 30 miles from the Post Office, I had to wait until the weekend to pick up your package. The motor was shipped out to you and it should arrive within the next few days. Sorry for the delay, but I got it out to you as fast as I could.

i got a 3.8 from tiny a couple of days ago and my 2.2 smokes it so do i return
it to you bitchar-g moter or tiny.

My 3.8 died today, it just crawls. I used this motor seldomly, because it's just too fast for my track;)
I recieved a 3.8 perfection motor from toyeast and I broke out the bit char g motor to do some comparisons. The thing died on the first run.
Anyway, I was wondering if it's still possible to get a replacement? I bought the motor like a month or two ago.
