180 motor
 

hey so i just got my motor and before i jump in... i need to put on the capasitor and other advil lookin think onto the 180 motor correct? is there any special directions or do i just soder off and resolder the same way? thanks gary.

If you got the Team Orion motor, just solder on the motor connector (reverse the polarity). Leave the stock cap setup alone.

wow ok thanks i'll tell ya how it works out for me, i took out the 6 cell so i chould test it on stock power plus not being able to fit on the body correctly was starting to get frustrating.

how did you get it to fit...?

Remove the motor mount toward the front of the car. You might also need to trim the terminals slightly.

ok i got it to fit but i still have problems the gear that i got for it it doesn't fit the correct way the gears wont match up so i fliped it around but now the gear wonstay on, also is there a big differnce between useing the 9 tooth and the 11 tooth gear. i've notecd a big speed and tq differnce between stage 2 on 4 cell and the 180 with 9tooth on 4 cell but it seems to me that the stage 2 with the 6 cell was getting a faster speed. but that may just be beacuse my gear is sliping.

ok so i worked out all the kinks and wow i must say this upgrade was well worth it. My next upgrade will be neurokinetik's FET upgrade cuz then i plain on experementing in hybrid and custom wraped motors, im think of grabing another 180 motor and doing somthing crazy like 15 wraps 30g if thats posible from what i gather the smaller amount of wrap the faster it goes...

Which brings me to my question for Neuro, what would you expect would be the next best motor set up is it posible to have a 130 motor be faster then a 180 or should i just stick to a 180 hybrid or custom wrap? Any information would be much apresiated, these damed R/C cars have turned into a mild obsession its just awsome lol.
