Another expedition...

I tore apart my 4WD car to check some electrical issues out, At the same time, my ball bearing can finally came in and I put a 30K rotor with 8 tooth pinion in with NEO magnets.
I built it with a blue stage 2 motor after putting NEO in that motor.
What I would like to see, is if this car will lift off the floor, or try to.
I am sure that it may be better to try it in my 2WD but I do not want to...

If it does not lift, then I will put the blue NEO motor back in...

The motor stage (2) blue was lightly covered with metal shavings.
The NEO magnets must have picked them up and dropped one or another on the wires. It then sparked up after the motor was no longer drawing the amperage. I cleaned the rest out.

I put it all together and ran it.
It runs like the wind and tries to lift but does not.
The front is just too heavy.
I took it apart again bc I really did not want to keep it configured like that.
The NEW white gear was chewed into by the motor.
I did the whole drive backward fast and gun it forward and it still did not lift the front.
But it REALLY zips across the floor...
I also put the wide bearings in the rear axle to get rid of the wheel play.

I was able to put a dime in between the gap but now, it is pretty closed.
The other bearings are the great shielded bearings from Tiny RC...

Are those neo-mags that good? Are those the ones you get out of the sinbrush motors?

The magnets were purchased from one of the online stores for XMODS.
They work SO good... A definite difference, besides the fact that it is magnetizing every one of my tools...

Trust me, wheeling (or would that be wheelieing?) is not good with an xmod. Yes, it means you have tons of torque, but when it starts to wheelie up, it usually snaps the front back and it endos (at least that's what happens with the brushless).

I think I will just call it an end of thought.
Even putting the batteries outside the car could not balance the vehicle for wheelies...

my 88t neo mag BB can motor w/ an 8t (and li-ions) doesnt do wheelies unless you reverse very quickly first, and even then, only enough to see for a fraction of a second (probably 1 or 2 frames on a camera) and maybe an eighth inch off the ground. Maybe w/ the drag slicks that come w/ the camaro/mustang body kits... who knows. My board's still fried and my nelly still isnt here :(
