Ima Bad boy 9V Powa
Well, i think i got something way better than brushless lol. I took a 9v energizer battery and plopped it in my little buddy and took off. I cant give it full throttle anymore cuz itll just spin tires for as long as i hold it in. Its deffinatly faster than stock, WAY FASTER. i only did this because i have an extra motor so if i blew mine i didnt care. The suprizing thing is tho the esc/rx didnt get hot at all and i ran it for a good 5 mins strong. I dont know how long itll last yet but this may be a very good alternative battery source.

RE: Ima Bad boy 9V Powa
Im not to sure yet which one fried my motor but it just went. The way i have it set up now i can run BOTH the 9V and the stock batt at the same time, so thats 13.8V's. I ran that for a couple mins and then the motor went south real fast. So im not sure yet if the 9v hurt the motor then the extra 4.8v's blew or what but im not doing that gain lol . At least not until i get the FET's in so i can stack em so itll handle the power. These are the only pics i have of just the bare chassis. Hopefully it helps.

Search google for "B-P Hobbis" Look under the micro planes and then motors. They have a couple of 180 size motors let me know what you find!

I was just going to go to my lhs and get an extra stock motor mount and just bore it out for the 180 motor. its to late to call hobbytown now but i will run over there sometime tomorrow and see if they have any 180's in stock. If they do they ill get one and a spare motor mount.
