I have one for 1/10 one. I take out a brush, stick it in and spin the motor. It's like a little stick. I couldn't use a lathe because the motor is not made to open. Just to take the brushes out.

Oh it will open. There are 2 tabs bent over....bend them back and the endbell pops off.

What pinion do you think i should get if i have a stock spur?? i have to replace my pinion with an alluminum one and im not sure how i should gear it. Any suggestions???
try to respond fast because i want to order the pinion by tommarow so i can finaly use my car again... until it breaks >=)

Mr. Mugen

Well please include al the info in one post for me and I'll help ya.

1. What tooth count spur? (Please dont say stock because I do not remember what the stock spur was).
2. What motor you are running?
3. High speeds or low torquey speeds? Which are you gearing for?
4. Does it have to be aluminum? Steel is better and lasts longer. Alum pinions like to crack and waarp under extreme conditions. They also chew up pretty fast in dirt.

Couldnt agree more!! Steel rocks. As you also said Mr Mugen, the stock MicroRs4 pinions are very good quality, Im yet to see one dull and Im brushless in dirt all day long.. Theyre a tight fit though, you have to put it on backwards and the motor shafts only just long enough to give the pinions' screw bite..

Mr. Mugen

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that I use a small brass shim behind the slipper to shim it out so the pinion clears.

ok so steel.... i run a mamba max 6800, i am going for more speed than torque... and i think the stock spur is 60 tooth. so recommendations?
?

Mr. Mugen

12 or 13

VXL ENCHILADA

ok can you post that micro rs4 13t steel again??

Mr. Mugen

it's at tower hobbies.

I am going to buy a mini baja. I wanted to clarify that i only need a new esc in order to install a brushless mamba, no new Rx or Tx?

VXL ENCHILADA

no. From what i know, you an slap a mamba right on there. The baja already has an fm tx/rx system and you can just slap a brushless on there. good luck with it!

EDIT: the mamba comes with the new esc unless you buy just the motor....

N.rustlerfreak

Mr. Mugen

Right on. Just buy your bl system.

.....And some ball diff action w/ cvds!

VXL ENCHILADA

Yea but he was only wondering if he didn't need to change any electronics =) plus he doesn't really NEED that.

i agree, it is not totally necessary unless you start to go Lipo Crazy

Also my racer project is slowly coming closer to completion. I will post pictures as soon as i get it complete.

VXL ENCHILADA

Very nice... cant wait to see it =)

Hi,

Any of you running a locked spool rather than a ball diff with your mamba motors - I'm looking for more durability than the stock planetary gears but without having to break the drive train down to adjust the ball diff when it loosens.

All thoughts greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Neil

This will only be good for Drag Racing applications (my favorite form of racing) because the ball diff adjusts the speed of the wheels to allow the car to turn but the locked center spool would not allow the car to turn as quickly as most would like. However it is strong than the Ball Diff but i prefer the ball diff for my racing applications.

LTvipers: when do you think your racer will be done??

neiloid

Thanks for the quick reply. I've just ordered one and will let you know how I get on......

My Feedback: (3)

how does the Team Orion Baja compare to the other mini-t motors (brushed)

VXL ENCHILADA

Not sure because i went straight to brushless >=)
