Lxx 3.0 motor vs Bit Char-G motors - Page 2

#16 12-18-2002, 01:22 AM

I tried to mount the lxx-motor in another bulletclone and it became very fast... much faster than when it was in the lxx...

Yes that motor is pretty fast. Did you try the new 3.4 dark side yet or 3.0 Tomy?

Yes i have tried the tomy 3.0 in a lxx-car. I think this motor was broken because it hardly moved forward and not backwards at all.

Have you tried some motors in the lxx? Or lxx-motors in other cars..

A really bad motor is the one sitting in Hummer H1. The motoraxle dont stand a motorgear change. The axle is coming out too long at the backside when pressing on a gear. Then the motor stops working... Good quality!!!

Sorry but ny lxx broke down about a 2 week ago still waiting for my new one. However I tried to put my 3.0 lxx motor into my tomy and it didn't work I would have to spin the motor a few times to get it to work again. I am waiting for my new lxx to come in the mail so I could change the motor to a 3.4 dark side motor.
I also purchased a 3.1 motor for my tomy is smokes. I am waiting
for driftking king to restock the 3.4 dark side for tomy I herd it pretty fast .

DKS seems to have a 3.4 motor for LXX and a 3.4 motor for Char-G/Microsizers. I guess there is a big enough diff to dothat - and the LXX motor is in stock!

Well I'm using the 3.4 motor for the lxx in the mircosizer however I was told that the 3.4 motor for the mircosizer was surpose to be very fast. I put my 3.1 fury motor up against my 3.4 lxx dark side and it smoked it right from the starting line I cant figue it out.
however I brought the motor for my lxx car so when I recieve the car I will try it out. I have to admit the 3.1 motor is a joy.

I have 4 bits now total: 2 Tomy, 1 Microsizer (Tomy US) and most recently 1 Lxx

Not only was the 3.0 Lxx only marginally faster then the Tomy 1.0 I had/have serious problems with reverse (especially when left-reversing). The Lxx chassis itself was/is defective so much so that the car has a horrible "wobble" in straight-reverse and the left-front tire jams totally on a left-reverse...

I have attempted several shaving operations (to no avail) and even modded that front tire (to no avail... *shrug*

Live and learn

(Best luck so far on alignment has been the UltraMan "Pointer" - straight as an arrow with "posi-trac" outta the box *grin*)

Why dont send your lxx back? it appears to be broken.. not only the steering but maybe also the motor. It can also be the lxx-gears that makes your car to go very slow and hardly backwards. The lxx-gears is very low quality. I have Tomy-gears on both my lxx-cars.

My LXX with the 3.0 it came with isn't any faster than my char-g with a 1.0 either. I've also got a char-a off-brand with 2.6 and upgraded gearing which is almost as fast as my char-g when I put a bit brand 3.0 in it.
My opinions so far are:
3. LXX is slow and/or falsely advertises
2. char-a's (micro racers) are pretty fast, but seem to be cheaper quality
1. Bit Char-g's are still king for quality and speed.

I've got a couple other knock offs also, and out of all of them, the Char-G is definately built with the best quality.

The lxx-motor is not as slow as a Tomy 1.0!! The motors you have must be broken... I have a Tomy 1.6 motor and that motor is MUCH slower than a lxx 3.0 motor. I have a clone with 2.6 and even that is slower than the 2 lxx i have... Have you tried to pull the axle by hand and feel if there is a resistance.... If there are the motors are definately broken....Send the motors back!!! I also use a lxx motor in a clone with dualbattery and it makes wheelies and even flip the car over sometimes...... funny funny! but it is impossible to controll..

One other alternative is that your lxx-pcbs dont give enough juice to the motors... Have somebody tried to put lxxmotors in other clones or the other way around?

pulled the axle... switched it for a Tomy axle and gear... swapped the tires, etc... then actually tested for rub and found the chassis itself to be defective.

As for returning it, it was an E-bay purchase with the seller now not responding to e-mails... *sigh*

If nothing else, it will at least serve as a good test-dummy... or perhaps parted out (at least the 45Mhz receiver)

If your going to buy clones (as lxx) or original Tomybits. Then buy them from Toyeast.com. They have very low prices and you can return broken items. Sometimes it is enough with a photo of the broken part. A lxx cost around 10 US$ and you dont have to pay customs because they send the packet as a gift. I have ordered from them at least 4-5 times and everytime it has taken less then a week to get the stuff.

I pulled the body off, checked the gearing and made sure it was put together right, and still slow as a 1.0. I switched out the motor with a bit 2.6 and it was fast. I don't think LXX put the motor in there they said they did. It has a white cap, and my bit-3.0 has a red cap. I ordered everything I've got from toyeast. If this is defective or wrong, it's the first thing they've sent me that was.

I bought myself two TOMY 3.0 motors for my two LXX-char's, and now with the tomy 3.0 i have to tap the car to even move. even with the

and 8 tooth pinion!

What did i do wrong? is it supposed to be like this?

DensityMan · #30 12-24-2002, 03:21 PM

Buddy of mine had this same problem (Lxx chassis/body w/ a tomy 3.0 motor). I believe he solved his issues by swapping out the Lxx pinion gear for the Tomy pinion, then added the Tomy gear axle and gear...

Though he may have switched at that point to the 8.25:1...

I'll double check with him.
