For those with booster sets/2 speeders - Page 3

the 3.8 is really slow w/o boost.

it seems tehh fastere the motor, the bigger difference between boosted/unboosted speeds. either way, nothing is considered fast without boost. .

2.6 is one of my faves for the boosted, as well as the zz nos, mainly due to the difference in boost and no boost is close enough to be usable on a track.

I would make a chart, but i don't have enough resources and time right now to do them all, plus my booster got stepped on the other day, and i have to do another pcb transfer

(first one was when doing my zz pcb xfer, I accidentally used my reference car's pcb whhich was wrong frequency.....DOH!)

Oy Vey, Come On, Anyone tried the r-spec//3.8 in an auto modellista? Or am I going to be the guinea pig, I have no objections... POWER!!!! HAHAHAHHA!

I run a bitmod1 3.5 motor in my Fairlady Z booster car. Pretty slow unboosted, maybe like 1.0. Hit the boost, and it is insanely fast! I love it!

Coo, BUT WHAT ABOUT 3.8//R-SPEC?!

I don't have an R-spec motor yet. Looks like you be the guinea pig!

i was wondering if anyone tried the dual cell mod with this?

ok ok i have an r-spec motor and a nissan fairlady z and i would say that unboosted it is slow like a 1.5 or something just a guess but it is really fast once u boost. and i mean really really fast

I have both R-spec that I bought and some torque motor that toyeast was selling.

R-spec is pretty damn slow unboosted and boosted is like 3.8.
I noticed a little more torque than my 3.8 but not too much.

This torque motor I have tho is insane compared to all my motors. Unboosted is almost like 2.2 top speed and boosted is just damn fast

.

Motors can be different tho even between the same grade.
My 2.2 in my 350Z was ok but the 2.2 in my auto modelista had a lot more torque and speed. If i reversed then quickly accelerate the front wheels would come off the ground for half a second.

Hmm, What's That "Torque Motor" called at ToyEast?!

<------ Watch out! noob with questions...

Can someone explain how the Boost button works. Is it a separate button from the directional controls (up, down, left, right)? Where is it on the controller? Can you simply leave the boost on while u drive? Thanks.

there is extra button on top above steering button for turbo

there is switch on back with A'B'C

B= works car slow untill turbo pressed then it goes flat out

C= works car flat out as normal car (turbo button does nothing)

Where do they carry these? Anyone else have experience with this motor?

metawu · #43 01-28-2003, 02:37 PM

they only had one when I bought it. It was called a high torque 3.0 motor and the color was yellow.

Now unboosted does anyone notice more torque? I mean even tho a r-spec is 1.0 or so without boost does that increase the torque , or can it? Maybe that is the real benny faster start up then POWA boost in the straight aways? My Z hasnt gotten here yet , should be anyday now /shivers. It will be perfect once I throw away the nissan body and put a custom WRX on it

Id like to see a boost car with a 2 motor mod, see if could start up with high torque then a speed engine.Wonder if there is even away to make that work

This page does a good job of explaining how the booster function works.

I would conclude that the booster RX PCB is more efficient at full speed than the std RX PCB.
