stock speeds all based on gearing and battery factors. bu you want the best bang for you buckl get a speed 300 6v it will shock you.

supamagician

could you post up a link to that motor? Also, what kind of connector is on the batt. it comes with? I have a tamiya style plug on my charger, and have TRX plugs on my batteries, and I just put an adaptor on the charger to be able to charge my batts. Could I do that with the kind of plugs on the xray?

Mini_Me

You could (adapters). The only real big downfall of the trx other than their cost, is they are bigger. As far as a cleaner layout, you might like the Deans ultra plugs.

The motor you linked to would require a new esc. The m18 rtr comes with a esc that only meant for 180 size motors (smaller motor). If your wanting to go with higher speeds right away, you might want to look into getting the kit version of the m18 as so you can choose your own running equipment.

oh he was talking about the kit rtr? i think its a waste of money unless u want to be entry level. you can get a kit model running for even cheaper. speed 300 v6 is only $12 bucks and a novak spy $50 and hitec 81mg $20 ish

supamagician

yeah but the kit is only 5 dollars less. if it was like 50 less I might consider it. could someone give me a link to that motor and an esc for it?

supamagician

could I put that stuff into a Micro RS4? what kind of speeds would I be looking at?

Mini_Me

Huh? Are you talking about total cost with equipment? Don't forget you are buying better quality equipment by buying it separately. The kit version should be near 95 dollars less.

supamagician

i was looking [link=http://www.atomicmods.com/Categories/XRAY-M18/Kits.aspx]here[/link] and its actually 15 less but still

Mini_Me

Your looking at the m18 pro. I meant the standard m18. The m18 rtr is a m18 based vehicle, not a m18 pro.

supamagician

Oh ok, I found what you were talking about. I think I am going to get this [link=http://rctoyzone.stores.yahoo.net/rs4mickitdod.html]Micro RS4 kit[/link], with this [link=http://www.atomicmods.com/Products/FUTABA-FUTK02-MAGNUM-2PL-27Mhz-AM-Digital-Transmitter__13783.aspx]radio, reciever, and servo[/link] and that motor and esc y'all were talking about.

supamagician

If I wanted to put the speed 300 into a Micro RS4 rtr, would I need to get a new esc? how fast would it be? would it destroy the car? lol

Mini_Me

The M18 kit can be had for the same price if you look around and handles better out of the box without having to purchase tons of upgrades.

supamagician

could you help me find the m18 dit at that price. I google xray m18 kit, and the cheapest I have found is 120

Mini_Me

See your PM.

supamagician

Ok thanks. What is the AE stock 370 motor. Will that just drop right into the xray, without having to put in another ESC? what speeds would that throw at me?

Mini_Me

You would want to buy the 42 tooth spur for a 370 motor. The kit comes with a 36 which is better suited for lower kvs and smaller motors. Also, the stock motor mount is meant only for 180 size motors. You can fit a 370, with it, but you will have to drill your own holes farther apart on the mount. Otherwise you will need to purchase an aluminum motor mount.

supamagician

How much is the AE motor nd the spur gear, and the motor mount. links to them would be appreciated

supamagician

Is this the motor I'm looking for? http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXKCD0&P=ML
