[firebird999]

Seconded!

Clear plastic is usually more brittle than a solid colored plastic anyway.

But if you insist on using those ones, use the clear, as its easier to see if there's crud on your comm.

im going with the blue. I dont like how the clear looks and the blue has a bearing.

its a 47t motor. I dont think thats going to melt the endbell.

I guess you have a slight edge on 'show' and 'go'.

Looking good is fine, but sacrificing reliability? Err... Not so fast there...

a 47T motor may not heat up, but it can reach higher temps if there's binding in the drivetrain or through continuous running. No R/C hobbyist ever sacrifices reliability for 'check this out, its cool-looking'.

i really like it the clear 1 but redisfaster is right i might melt

[mustang-04]

i dont know much of anything, but whatever gives better results on the track, go with that.



:P

I like that theory doesn't have to look good, just has to have go!

IMO, you don't need fancy motors, FET upgrades, etc. Just get a red body, or paint yours red, and you'll be zooming past the competition as if they were standing still

[xmodsnut]

yeah the color red will make your car 12mph faster than everyone elses, even if you run a stock motor.

blue endbell

[mustanglover]

cool man i like that better!

its a 47t cuz its for my Miniz MA-010. I dont want it fast because then I cannot control on the track. 47t is faster then stock and you can control it. Im also doing a 2x2 MOSFET upgrade to give it more punch.

[Krayzie]

got the final pics up

Specs:

47t Big Silver Comm Armature
Neo Magnets
104 Caps
Blue Endbell
Blue Case
Carbon Brushes
Mini-Z Motor Wires











Note: The motor wires are connected on the other side of the motor because I have a mini-z awd and the motor mounts face first so the vent holes would get covered if I put the wires on the front.

You know what looks cooler than any enbell out there, and functions alot better too? The Atomic M1 endbell! I'm going to have to order me some of them.

Ask oromac about the melty-ness of the endbells your using, he'll have a good story for you...

BLUE endball, 47T, iso-ferrite, 25-30 mph on li-ions, never melted the endball. I havent driven it in forever though, my Li-ions went dead.

that setup is almost exact as mine just a few minor differences. So you got 30mph out it with liths?

[texan_idiot25]

roughly 25-30. But it was easily taken out left an right by crap in the road, lol.

Iso-ferrites allow for more RPM, and even with the highest xmod gearing, it was able to break the tires loose on concrete off the line. Like mid-high RPMs ofcourse, it was pretty frikin quick.

lol, I put neo mags for more torque. I dont want my mini-z to be too quick because I wont be able to control it on the track.

[texan_idiot25]

Awd and a home-made LSD in the back, it was controllable for the most part, haha, had to be easy with it indoors. Just about as fast as you can get with no FET upgrade, almost. The tall gearing was just barely too much with li-ions pushing it. But a single stack of new FETs hold it fine, I forgot what type they were.
