My other main hobby is airsoft , in airsoft brushed motors are still the norm but they now have neodymium magnets , was there ever a brushed RC car motor that had neodymium magnets , I've had a bit of a surf but found nothing , I even bought a modern brushed modified motor and I was half expecting neodymium magnets but no , just normal magnets . Just about all brushless motors have neo magnets , in airsoft motors the neo magnets made a huge performance jump , so why no brushed car motors with neo magnets ? Or are there ? There are still quite a few RTR cars sold with brushed motors so why no neo motors ?
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
Then that makes sense , in airsoft the motors are designed for high torque not high rpm so the neo brushed motors would be perfect .
Thanks for the reply .

Just picked up an old buggy roller and it has a Peak Racing Illusion motor. Endbell says Epic on it and it appears to be fixed timing, but rebuildable. Any ideas as to the turns on this thing? My guess would either be 27 or 19, but don't know until...

Thanks. I got a minute to pull the motor and it said spec 27 on the end of the can. And, yes, it has bushings.
Would this be a decent motor if I cleaned it up and installed some bearings? The can reminds me of the Trinity Midnight2 and P2K that I...
A question to you guys running modified brushed motors.
Once you have stripped, cleaned, possibly cut coms and rebrushed how are you setting your timing if you do not have a dyno?
I’ve got quite a few little used Trinity D3s and D3.5s and I’d like...

its a good question...not ignorant at all. i use a protech 701 with adjustable current. u can put a voltmeter on it and put it to 7.2v. if u keep your 702 on 6 cell should be just fine👍
I'm throwing this together at the request of another member. This is just some of the stuff that I do, so take it for what it is. If someone has any ideas to add, please do so.
I rummaged through my stuff and found this crusty Peak Racing 12X2. It...
I could use some recommendations on some older quality brushed motors. Looking for a few for the rc10s and rc10t, and possibly something for my lunchbox. I'd like a few wild and a few intermediate motors.

i can throw in that the fantom racing alloy mod motors are great(the link that drbelleville gave has em on page 2 or 3), my bro has one, and it hasnt let him down yet(maybe 10 packs through it on his t2) and if u wait for holiday specials, they go...
That's right, brushed motors!
A while back, I was running my RC10's on a back yard track, aprox 50'x30'. Needless to say, geared down stock 27t motors were the ticket. (geared maybe 18/85) At the time, the run time with 3800nimh was blowing my...

You may get close to the torque of a conventionally timed 27 turn.
What I mean by intractable is that the motor power band may be peak outside of the normal rpm you'll be running at, leading to the motor feeling like it is bogging down at certain...
I just got a cheap Surpass 17t motor & 60a esc combo for my Ultima. The motor wires are not attached and I want to make sure I set them up so the blue wire on the motor connects to the blue wire on the esc. I know where to connect them, just not...

If I had just seen the + on the end I would have been good. After I saw it I felt like an idiot for coming on here and asking :roll: Now to get it wired up and installed. I've had this Ultima for months and it hasn't had a first run.
Over the last week, I've started having some issues with my Trinity Chameleon 2 19T motor. The car runs fine for a few minutes and then starts to get slower and slower and then stops. If I pick the car up and fiddle with a brush spring, it will...

yeah they are mirror pair, I think 1's green and the other 1's red... dunno today, BiTD used to buy original Trinity.
Back in the 90s I used to have a motor dyno that I would like to find again.
From what I can remember it was about 6x9x2 in size. Two sweep needles One for amps and one for rpm. The motor sat facing into the box and was held with 3 finger screws....

The Shinwa Motor Dresser allowed you to measure amp draw versus rpm. I was great when determining the differences in brush cuts and motor timing.
