Default RE: Is Traxxas using drill motors?


ORIGINAL: twindaddy66

I hear ya. But isn't it true you can only do this with certain motors? Something to do with the timing being fixed or adjustable that the polarity cannot be reversed??????

Some clarification on this would be great......
Standard drill motors have no advance or retard. RC specific motors may, that's why you will find motors such as the t-600/s-600 are explicitely either a forwards or reverse motor. The majority of drills will spin both clockwise and anti clockwise, so the motors have to as well, you just hit a switch to reverse the polarity.
