My Fully Hopped Up Xmod with Stage10 NML Motor - Page 6

well look at it his way sess, look at how many people have been interested in his motor on this board alone. not to mention other boards. also remember this is just an xmod motor. like he said, he makes mini-z motors, and a lot of mini z accessories so if he gets like 50 emails from this board alone regarding xmod motors, he probably gets even more regarding mini-z's. he said he had to get some set up thing to sell to this overseas buyer. apparently that buyer is flying in to pick em up (so obviously it's a huge order if they gonna spend on a plane ticket to pick it up) so he probably spent a lot of time setting that up too. i dunno about u but i'd rather he make the motor and tell after he sends it out than him just telling me he's going to make it but not actually make it cuz he has 1000000 emails to reply to. he also replies to me. i posted on the msg board once and he emailed me back with a personal response. albeit a few days later but at this point i dont really care...as long as i get the motor and the whole package cuz i'm one of the first 5. he said he's mailing everything out tomorrow cuz today is veterans day and post office is closed.

EDIT: o yea he mentioned something about checking all orders and issuing them based on the order the money came to him in. so i think he's trying to get all of the first 5 orders in first before he sends it out. that would help him keep track of who gets the special package deal and who doesnt since he said only the first 5 do. if that is the case, my bad cuz i sent money order which took a longer time to get to him. he has it now so there shouldnt be much more of a problem.

the easiest wat to get up with him is to e-mail him personally and ask him to hold one for you

@heat- I have been looking at it from his point of view. This is why I haven't really gotten pissed off and asked for a refund.

Such DRAMA going on with this NML dude. I bet he is busy as hell he has had so many requests that its crazy....Im not to happy for the price these things are going for though..

I got one word for it. Wow.... I disassembled a stage two motor (RIP) for the 11 tooth and the connector. I got it together last night and after a few tweaks got it running. The thing is so fast that i destroyed my stock front end. the drawback is that it does have a little lag and eats the batteries like no other. tonight I am going to try to compensate by connecting the 6 cell mod with it. I will let you know what the results are

I'm having trouble with disassembling the pinions from my 2nd stage motor.
Could anyone tell me the best way to get the pinions off?
Please let me know ASAP!!!

cmuench · #86 11-25-2003, 08:11 AM

Theres a few things you can do....

A. Buy a pinion puller
B. try to find a pick that will fit the diamieter of the hole, find two pieces of metal and post them between the pinion and the motor, then just hammer out the pinion with the pick and a small hammer.
C. super heat the pinion, since brass heats faster it should expand and come off. Be careful not to burn yourself when taking off the pinion.

I AM DESPERATE FOR MORE SPEED!!!!!!!! What did you do to the motor? (The 11 tooth is the blue Top Speed motor, right?)

I just saw NML at my lhs and he showed me his new xv motor on seven cells and that thing was rediculous! the xv for sure is worth every penny and the xv motor is supposed to be faster than a stage 10

Hi Nosser,

It was a pleasure seeing you yesterday, bro. Small Hobby world. hehe.

Thanks for the compliments.

I ended up caving in for the Mini T. After looking at that guy's Mini T, I had to get one. I look forward to seeing you and queso on our next Xmod/Mini Z get together. Maybe this time, we can also have an Overland/Mini T get together (G2G).
