New here and have one question i wanna ask
 

I was wanting to know if it is possible to put a 180 motor in a dodge challenger street xmod and if so can anyone explain to me wat i would need and how to go about doing it.

180 size motors are used in xmod gen 1 cars only.

However, motor size is not everything. My friend has a 180 size in his car and its FAR slower than my atomic t2 motor. I speed checked his 180 size motor and it came in at 32 km/h, my t2 came in at 44 km/h

To run motors that fast your going to need some FETs. Don't get caught up in the SIZE of the motor! 130 motors can be really fast. RedSXmodder on this site makes some sick custom motors and both I and triplexmodder can do FETs at highly discounted prices.

so the more fets the faster the motor will run?

Nay, more FETs means you can put in higher power motors. It has nothing to do with how fast your motor runs.

As taiwanese kid said, It just "opens up your motor options" to anything that will fit lol. of course I recommend a 2x2 stack of upgrade FETs, which is more than enough to handle any motor.

ok. so wat motor would yall recommend thats not to fast but is pretty quick? and wat would i need to install it?

I said this earlier, but it's still relevant ;)

Remember, torque matters more than top speed. You can have a 100,000 rpm motor, but with no torque, you'll never hit 100,000 rpm. To be safe, get a 2x2 stack FET, or a 2x3 stack FET if you have the money. The rest is simply drop it in.

thanks

I think the atomic standard is a sure bet. Its fast but not too fast and its a ball bearing motor for only 17 bucks. If your interested in something just a little faster than a stage 2 (more torque) I like the PN 70 turn motor, I think its only like 8 bucks and its by far my favorite motor. Both of these motors are safe for stock FETs.

As for your orginal question, yes, a few people have put 180 size motors in their cars...

Do a little searching before you ask questions. You will be surprised what you can find...

Another good motor that is fast but runs on stock FETs are PN Speedy 07 and speedy 07 bb. These are the motors I use a lot.

Really? Well, I didnt know that.

I personally like using the Atomic AWD motor. Really fast and its about $22 with shipping. Gear it right and it's even faster.

wat gearing do yall recommend

In case you didn't notice. He asked about an EVO chassis. And you just replied and said, '180 type motors are used in Gen.1 cars only'
He said is it possible to put a 180 type motor in an EVO.

And he is asking absolute N00B questions. He should search before he asks a question....
And you should actually try to read a post before you respond....

There was no need for that post. What are you trying to prove?
That you're immature? Well you did a pretty good job on it...:nod:

You think I'm immature? That's laughable. This is a forum about toys! Lighten up. I'm a very helpful and friendly member of this community. I'm even an approved service provider that helps the community by offering cheap services, so have some respect.

You do realize what you're saying right? I don't typically get into these little chats, but you understand that you're trying to cast your opinion as the voice of everyone here. I don't know about you, but a lot of people take this forum and this hobby seriously, especially the people who run and operate this place for the sake of those who do take it seriously.

Toys? How is anyone supposed to take you, an "approved service provider", and your work seriously if you treat the items and possessions of those you're "helping" as a joke. Now I looked at your services, and FET stacking isn't easy for a lot of us, and being able to do a clean job is amazingly appreciated if you're doing it for others. However, can you explain to me how someone who's offering "electronic services" does not even know about the motors that will be running off his work?

To answer the OP, Modification is required (except for the 130), but ANY XMods chassis can run a 130, 180, and 1/36 Brushless. I've seen other motors such as 280's, and larger scale brushless mounted.

Lets keep this on topic and save the drama for the school play please.

I can't find the tutorial on XMF, but i know one exists. Basically you're supposed to widen the rear stance of the xmods by gluing a spare set of axle stubs on top of the existing stubs, this allows the rear clearance to house the 180. Then you just trim the motor cradle to let the 180 motor sit in it.

Anyone else know what i'm talking about? Its a tad old maybe a year or more, but i've deffinately seen it before.

kaze is right! i was going to usr that tut on the silverado when it was lifted but found a different set of tires!
