any solution for 3.0s?
 

argg... i got the same problem a lot of other people do with their 3.0 tomy's... the damn thing wont go foreward!! it's mother fast... like SERIOUSLY fast... it blows my 2.6 away, but it wont be consistant....

i know people have had this problem, but has anyone found a solution??

help would be GREATLY apprectiated...plz!! :(

The problem I had was a contact problem. Try pointing the contact on the motor towards the front of the car. (the little metal tab on the motor) I found that helped.

hmm yeah, i tried that.. but still!! ><"!!!

thx for the tip tho!:D

LoL what did I tell ya Pie?

same problem here too...> _ <. I'm stuck using a 2.6 K.I.T. racer motor. I guess i'll be ordering an R-Spec soon..

R-spec seems like a good choice...bitmod1 charged me 16.50 for a 3.5 :eek:

Did you try puting a razor blade under the metal tab and bend it up a little bit so it gets better contact? That helps alot of times. Try that.



silla

heh pojo, you were right... =P

im gonna go back to the store sometime and see if i can get it exchanged ... cuz MTL's works fine... so there's GOtta be some good 3.0s

yeah, i tried bending the tab, stuffing tin foil back there, cycling it for like an hour... but still, no dice.....


oh hey pojo, where u live? could i buy a motor off you? :D

Hehe...sorry I don't have any spares...but I suggest either going back to your LHS, or ordering motors that aren't meant for bit racers.

oh... thx..

blehhh!! they only stock tomy stuff.... and if i order something the border taxes, shipping, and exchange rate is gonna rape me...

hmmmm.. i was thinking bitmod 3.5.... but i hear the r-spec is even better...

Well, I'm a Hoser too, but I didn't get any flack from border taxes...ToyEast is excellent with getting out of those...as for shipping and exchange, bitmod1 rammed me. I got charged $20 our dollars for a friggin 3.5!!!

hmmmmmm 20 american?! that's like 30 here... i could buy a clone and eat it for parts!

toyeast... cheap shipping/charges?

I'M A HOSER TOO...LOL that means $20cdn. Still that's a huge ripoff just for a good engine, and it took a week or so to come from the USA. As for Toyeast, as long as you order stuff in substantial bulk, shipping won't rape you.

oh... okay okay.. i understand now :D

my 3.0 cost like... 15 bucks so it's close enuf..

hmmmmmm.... if i wanted a r-spec it'd cost me hella lots .... 17 canadian, plus shipping... ><"

must... fix....3.0.......

Bah, do whatever you want...but you have been warned....
