Plasma Dash review

[Hudson5150]

I decided to try the Plasma Dash Tamiya motor in an Xmod. It did not fry anything, thank the RC gods for that one. I tried it in a stock xmod with no mods.

The motor must be installed with the motor wires reversed from the way it was intended to run, like the x speed.

When I drove the car it took the motor a few seconds to wind up after I applied full throttle. The torque on this motor was very poor. After several feet it picked up speed and ran pretty fast.

In comparison to the Xspeed motor in an xmod; the Plasma has higher RPMs making the hi end faster, but much less torque so it takes awhile to reach this higher speed. Personally I am going to stay with the Xspeed motor.
