hi there im after a pair of motors for my DT not to sure which 1s to get coz i think 1 of them got to be reverse rotation so please could you help a noob links would be great im in uk any help would be apreciated thanks

The Mad Modder

If you're looking for a little more speed, you could get Tamiya's sport tuned motors. If you want a lot more speed you could go with a high voltage(14v to 16v) system with either the Traxxas evx2 or HPI GT as the ESC and the Traxxas titan motors made for the e-revo(one is reversed).

can i get any sport tuned or has 1 got to be reversed thanks for the reply

The Mad Modder

They don't have any timing advance, so they'll be fine running in forward OR reverse.

does tamiya do universal body mounts or is there another model that uses the same 1s i cant find any for the DT truck thanks

The Mad Modder

Not that I'm aware of. Maybe that's why I don't remember seeing any with SUV bodies.

hi there i have had my motors thro today i cant find 2 of my motor screws does any 1 know which 1s to get or part No i would measure them but not sure if i got to measure from screw head or begining thread to end oh wha please help any be great thanks

The Mad Modder

The diameter of screws and bolts are measured by the thickness of the threaded portion(measured on top of the threads, not in the thread grooves). The length is measured by the length of the screw that will be below the surface it's screwed into. So on countersunk screws, the length includes the head. On all others, the length only goes up to the bottom of the head.

540 size motor screws are almost always 3mm diameter.

is ur gear box holding upto it i have had no luck with my d/t i think the front g box has started to strip there a clicking noise inside it when i go forward or back am i right or is it somthing else any help will do thanks []

The Mad Modder

Did you upgrade all the plastic bushings to ball bearings? The clicking could be drive shafts wobbling from the extra slop cause by worn bushings.

djdarkforces

ye i upgraded the bearing same time i upgraded the motors []

The Mad Modder

Well, I guess try running only one motor/gearbox at a time slowly (with the wheels off the ground) to see which gearbox is making the noise. When you find it, remove the drive shafts and run it slowly again. If the noise stops, it isn't the gearbox, if it continues, it is the gearbox. It is possible that one of your bearings picked up some debris(usually only with teflon shielded bearings). I ran one of my cars in dirt and the teflon bearings in the rear got dirt in it and made a crunchy grinding noise.
