it will. but if you want a good tuned 300 motor, get radishack's Pro RK370 tuned motor. better than a K3 and good bang for your buck.[8D] he sells them on $bay. username - iamachickenduck or contact him over at yourmicro.com or one18th.com

Honestly i dont waste my money on a tuned 300 motor, a good one will run you from the 25-30 bucks, whomever its from is preference, I've heard good things about the k3, Beast, and others. I've tried a couple of different ones and they are fast but not that much faster than a speed 300, which you can buy for 15 bucks shipped usually online. blindbatts.com has a generic version of the graunper 300 for 10 bucks. The Graunper speed 300's run at 15 bucks and you can get them at a lhs that sells planes or by searching online. They run forever, Take a beating, and a Just a little slower.

The K3 or Beast are good motors However, the Pro RK370 is faster and more torque. Dont compare this to a Graupner 300. This is a highly tuned 300.

Your the only person i've ever hear of talk of this motor, do you sell it? or have some affiliation with it? do you have a dyno sheet to back up your claims?

Look you want evidence a motor is fast go to one18th.com pay the extra on the beast motor and you get a printed out dyno sheet of the motor you reciever. Not like these claims.

I prefer the K3 - use it in my MiniT. It is very fast.

Irish told me about it and they are quick you should see the video they go as fast as a brushless 5800kv motor and almost as fast as the mamba 6800kv motor! FAST FAST FAST AND TORQUE TORQUE TORQUE!! Look on ebay at his rk370 and click on the video in the description!

Fast

brainleak,

I understand your doubt. I am new to this forum and to clear up your paranoia I will say that I am not affiliated in any way with the ProRK370 motors or the seller. I am NOT the seller. Just a very satified user along with other users who have tried and use his motors. Nothing more.
I will also tell you, that I do not have an dyno tests to verify this - only from what we've experienced. Just so that you also know, I have and still use the K3, Baja, Beast, etc. in my collection of micros.

You feel so threatened or upset about these simple comments, Ive made - why? do you think I am misleading readers about this fellow who is, btw, very knowledgeable about electric motors and their workings?

For brushed motors in my micros - I have the stock MiniT motor, Graupner 300, K3. And the K3 is my favorate.

Ok daniels motors been out awhile.. i own them and homboi owns them i had advertise them in the micro section months ago brainleak.. at anyrate study you havnt tried the rk370 so dont prefer the K3 lol i have the K3 and many others.. i like them all for certain reasons.. but what it all comes down to is that the stock graupner doesnt compare to URC K3 or daniels rk370 the graupner is a very plain motor wrap and brush setup.. tuning them can improve them drastically ask URC or daniel and btw URC and Daniel know each other from the other board me and homboi frequent

studysession

Regardless - I will still push the K3 - we all push what we like and what we are familiar with. Just how it is.

wel i only push what i know and give everyone else the benefeit of the doubt.... but its sad that some people have to jack up prices though when selling... study what current setups are u runnin in any car or truck with your krystal 3.. i like the torque in mine.. but man it gets hot dunno (in my rc18t that is)

greig

thanks for the help guys, i went with the rk370 this thing is awsome on a vid it beats a mamba 6800

JDRACING

When you get it can you tell me how it is? I am trying to decide between the K3 and the RK370 because irish has burnt up 2 rk370 motors in his rc18t so i wasnt sure about it but i think im leaning towards the K3!

Drew i burnt the first rk370 in my m18 and the other in my rc18t... now i don't know the aucse yet but i was only runnin a gp1100 pack cant believe it would be to much for it... maybe something to do with the weight resistance compared to my m18 hmm

I have not ran it in a while - But I am using UnitedRC 7.2v batteries - K3 motor - bearings - Team Losi Oil Filled shocks with titanium shafts - MTroniks Cirrus Competition forward only ESC - 13t metal pinion - Titanium tie rods with the yellow end. For me it is enough. I rarely run it though anymore. Been working on other projects. Trying to get some CNC'ing work finished for the speed car project.
