i am looking for a good motor for my sons rc18t.

i am looking for something slightly faster than the rc18t rtr stock motor but not to fast. no modified motors!

any suggestions?

I know you said no modified motors but the Mamba brushless motors are good motors. You can always get a small one (4200 kv), it shouldn't be too fast. You can always turn down the throttle on the remote. Brushless last a lot longer than stock brushed motors. We have been racing for over a year every Wednesday night and I am on my second motor, the first motor the wires broke so I sent it in to Castle Creatons and they sent me a new one for free. They have some of the best customer service.

Now if you dont have the money to go brushless I know that the Team Orion Baja and Big Block motors are supposed to be pretty good. Brushed dont last as long and evenutally it probably will be worth starting with a brushless.

umm...the team losi MINI BAJA motor is pretty fast ...http://www.losipartshouse.com/servle...r-clnMB/Detail

or you can go down to the LHS and ask them ..

whats wrong with a modified motor??

i have a mamba 8000kv on my rc18r and i LOVE IT !!!

I've heard that getting a battery with seven cells with increase the speed and do well. Go to "thetoyz.com" and click on rc18t. you could just get a new motor and a 7 cell battery

it will speed it up, 7.2 volts compared to 8.4 volts, the bad thing is it will run hotter

i prefer li-po's with the Mamba's, they last a long time

The Team Orion BAJA is a great motor in the RC18T and is rebuildable , and works great with the stock ESC .

well the thing is my son is not ready for the speed of a brushless or a modified motor. i was hoping someone could tell me a good brushed motor to run. i don't think the 280 mini baja motor is as fast as the 370 motor that comes in the rc18t. my wife has a mini-twith that motor and its considerably slower than my sons rc18t.

my son i running the tekin b1-r speed control

I think the gearing in the Mini-T is different than it is in the RC18T. I have had both and at one time I had a stock RC18T motor in the Mini-T and it wasn't as fast as it was in the RC18T.

I would buy a small brushless, you can turn in down on the stock RC18T radio's. A 4200kv with stock RC18T batteries can't be that fast anyways. I'm not sure how long they would last though.

mrplease

do you know how many turns it has?

i'm curious as to why mini motors don't usually tell how many turns they have?

i think it has like 18 turns my lil bro wanted to get that motor ..but he got a 9200kv C4 brushless

KRO

Its like 17 or 18 turns I belive .....

mrplease

how fast would that be compared to the stock rc18t motor?

anyone had any experience with the reedy mini mod 19t?

orion baja was always my pick for kids when they had a rc car.... id go witht he orion baja, its a good motor, gets like 30mph with just stock stuff, and its only 30$

or, a mamba 6800kv, and mamba micro pro or sidewinder

KRO

It was like 7-8 mph faster than stock , the Reedy motors are great motors too .

You are running a brushed motor in the chaos? Are you just running one or two motors?

maxxin2.5

yes brushed
