Motor swap..
 

Ok, I was wondering, what would happen if you add a hobby motor to your XMOD™? I'm talking about just a normal motor without the advil looking thing and the black thing(if anyone could please identify these for me, I would appreciate it). What would happen? I was thinking of just getting a hobby motor and just de-soldering the stock connections and just re soldering the new motor in place of the stock one.. using all stock connections, just removing stock motor and replacing w/ new one. Someone please let me know, I really want to do this, but I dont know what the outcome will be. I really dont feel like spending another 50 bux for a new xmod because I fried something. Thanx for ur help. http://tearicon.com/club3gfl/html/em...cratchhead.gif http://tearicon.com/club3gfl/html/em...s/stupido2.gif

the black thing and the advil thing are capacitors, u dont have to have them they just even out curent going into the motor and even out recever , transponder interference

they're capacitors and they suppress noise so the radio can properly receive instructions from the controller without interference

I thought only the advil thing was a capacitor.. http://tearicon.com/club3gfl/html/em...cratchhead.gif O'well. Thanx for letting me know, so if I put a new motor in there w/o the capacitors ( ;) ) nothing will fry right? Sorry, I'm not really fluent or knowledgable when it comes to electronics. All I know is + - and ESC lol.. and now thanx to you, I now know what a capacitor is. If anyone could please tell me all the abbreviations are I would appreciate it alot.. ex, PCB, MaH, and all the other ones.. thank you .

yea i have dont know the abbreviations either. it would help alot. and picture of the engine with all labeled parts would help too!

it won't fry but range might suffer from noise going back to the ESC

PCB = printed circuit board
mAh = milli-Amp hours
Tx = transmitter
Rx = receiver

Thanks alot, so I can just hop in any motor from an old rc car and I wont fry/blow anything right?
