BIIIIIIG motor!!!
 

Has anyone tried to put a razor motor (normally 12v) in their XMOD? It's about 1''x1''x7/8''. Just asking before I accidentally create a bomb or something...

na you wouldnt make a bomb, but your stock fets would fry.. also unless ur runnin a 4cell lithium powerplant that motor is gunna run sluggish.. btw you'll prolly have to make custum gears, with that big of a motor you could run overdrive gearing (ie the gears spin faster than the motor)

Quoted from LBRC in the "Supercharged Mustang" thread in the XMODS Gallery...

"It’s just what I call the monster 2x8 FET stacks on the lighted front deck circuit board. Since they stick through the hood calling them a turbo seems inappropriate. Although it is also starting to refer to an external turbo with a voltage regulator that lets you power the receiver at 5 volts and the motor at the battery voltage, this one will take up to 20 volts or 5 lithium cells."
Meaning DUAL RECHARGEABLE 9Vs, HERE WE COME!!!
WATCH OUT!!!

9v's can't supply enough current to push anything close to that size motor - I doubt it would have the torque to spin the drive train.

use li-ions.

hmmm
 

well u will have a hard time getting the power supply but thats a big motor with the added batteries ur steering and suspension will be all weird i suggest an RS4 180 motor but u would need to et up a gear system

Re: hmmm
 

180 motors fit fine with no modification. You just have to leave the rear motor mount off. Search in the "Mods and Projects" forum, there's a huge thread about this.

Now that I've gone back to the RS website, 16.8v at 300mah is a ton worse than 4.8v at 2800mah

Not li-ions, li-polys. Li-ions would fry like a chicken at colonel sanders' house.

This motor would go into a 1/24 scale model body, in case anyone was wondering.
