E-maxxer

I bought these two motors(Le MANS Sports H-240S) from a friend for 5 bucks each and he had them for a while and used them once or twice. So I put one in my E-maxx and the other hasn't went in yet. I ran it and it seems to go faster than my titans put togeather(IMO) but I was just wondering was it a upgrade or a downgrade?

A pic of it is in my gallery!

uhhh....i dunno, but that e-maxx is sick!

if it drives better, its an upgrade. those motors are rated at 7.2v. you run them at 14.4v. they will die within some runs. if you want to use them, i suggest you mount BOTH of them in your emaxx AND wire them in series so that each gets 7.2v.

How would you wire them both to get 7.2 volts each?

I thought the titans got 7.2 volts each?

the titans get 14.4volts each [parallel setup].

first you need to remove all bullet connectors.

on the esc:
1.connect the two black motor wires together.
2.connect the two red motor wires together.
now you have 1[dual] black wire lead and 1[dual] red wire lead.

on the motors:
connect the + of the first motor with the - of the other one.

now connect the - of the first motor with the black lead of the esc and the + of the 2nd motor to the red lead of the esc.

keep in mind that I STRONGLY recommend that you check the rotation direction of both motors [before mounting] using a couple of AA batteries or a 7.2v pack as a powersource before connecting them to the esc. they should spin to the same direction, otherwise one will block the other one. mark the + - signs if they haven`t any on them. when the motor spins counterclockwise [shaft facing you], it is the nominal spin direction => mark the + and - as they are connected to the pack at that moment.
