motor comparison
how does the speed in terns of RPM and motor wire turns of the x-mod motors compare to a x-speed? I want to put an x-speed in my car if its fasted / better then then stage 2. I mean all they sell you is the same motor with different pinion sizes correct?

There is a difference between stage 1 and stage 2, it's just that no one is exactly sure what the difference is. I say go for it, put your X-speed in and tell us what differences there are if any.

I know the x-speed works but I just need to buy a pinion remover.

Stage 1 motor, 26k
Stage 2 motor, 30k
X Speed motor, ~35k
Estimating the speed difference by ear, the X Speed motor sounds faster than the Stage 2 motor by about the same amount that the Stage 2 is faster than Stage 1.
One of my friends has successfully installed an X Speed in his XMods car, I am working on doing the same. The pinion gear has been giving me trouble, though. I tried to use the one from the stock motor, but I can't get it off. Well, at least the motor is destroyed now..

Get an Xspeed from tower hobbies. And use a slot car pinion puller to remove those bothersome brass pinions.

Yes, it definitely did. 
Picked up a pinion puller and got it done. I can't say what kind of top speeds I'll see as I don't have enough room inside to really open it up. I used the 8 tooth pinion on the X Speed motor as I figured it wouldn't have alot of torque.
What I [i]really[i] want is a motor with ball bearings. Al the good motors for 1/10 scale and 1/12 scale use them, so it's only a matter of time before they are available for us.

Yes, it definitely is faster. What I really want is a ball bearing motor can with rare earth magnets though.

I hate to burst your bubbles, guys, but any of those after market motors are nowhere near 30,000. Nowhere near.
There are reasons why the torque is not there, etc. etc. which is why I'm coming out with stage 10.

I'm just going by what they say on the label. You're probably right though... the stocker's probably like 15k, with the others being like 17k and 20k... :lol:

So you are saying that a stage 2 @ 35K is better than an x-speed? speed and torque wise?
