[dgs73]

Sorry Kevsta – somethin in the attachment was breaking the forum. I’ve tweaked the code a bit in case it was a filename thing – but I suspect it was more like a filesize thing 🙁

Sounds like it’s all broken in, next time i replace the brushes, try running it on low throttle for a few good runs, the extra current from boostin’ it while the comm/brush was not worn in may have burnt and oxidized the commy surface…hopefully we will hit 60km/h next time.

[dgs73]

so I can still send you my donks? Cool… damn that vid looks quick too…:shock::approve:

No problems. Unfortunately I’m still using 56k dial up.:sad:
I tried emailing the movie as an attachment – hope it didn’t flood your inbox.

[dgs73]

so that huge email I sent you this morning wont be an issue for you then?:smiley2:

[Jay-Z]

i hear TD has some xtra special Xspeed, what`s the go with that? does it just have the bearing case or is there more to it?? PS talldude, thanx for the motor clip!!

[dgs73]

it’s just a bb case around an Xspeed… can be bought like that

[Jay-Z]

i read somewhere that kevsta gave TD`s Xspeed the thumbs up, especially against a stock Xspeed. does kyosho put out the BB Xspeed or is this an aftermarket hop up? sounds like the motor to have when we`re having Xspeed races!!

[dgs73]

but it’s not Xspeed, remember? Its hopped up… outta Xspeed class. Especially when seeing the two running together:shock:

My X-speed motor gets 23km/h consistently on the Tamiya speed checker.
TD’ mentioned that his motor gives 31 km/h on the Tamiya speed checker.

Not only that, but his car pulled away from mine like it was turboed in some way.

I got a feeling there’s more to it than ball bearings…:shock:

😀

[Jay-Z]

yeah i kinda got that impression too, would a bearing case make that much of a difference? either way i could do with one, my Xspeed has a turbo attached so at the mo i can`t enter a stock Xspeed race and i`m getting flogged in the open class:sad:..probably still will with a bearing cased Xspeed/turbo combo but more is better right!!

[dgs73]

better than a normal Xspeed, as it’ll turn faster, with less lag due to the bearings. More revs. + faster revs. = higher top end speed…

[MiniKing]

Hey Dave hey listen if you have any other parts that you want to sell i would like to have a look and see what you got any wheels or tires im interested in anything mini z….also i heard you want to sell your HPI micro wat been done to that???:D

[TallduDe]

yeah the motor i got is a dinball x-speed internals with a bb case.

i aint got no turbo nothing narda!!

i am runing a 10t pinon that accounts for my top speed. but the motor is quite good coz it has heaps of low down torque and i can take off qikly, faster then the 9t pinon boyz.

the motor is way wicked.

[kevsta]

If I get some time to myself over the weekend, I’ll transfer the x-speed internals to a new bb case that I bought for it a while ago.

Would like to see if really makes that much difference.

Either way, the x-speed I have needs a good clean.

🙂

I just ordered one. Hopefully it’ll arrive by Friday next week.

No more excuses for coming last because I won’t be.:smiley16:

[TallduDe]

damnit!

now i have to find another edge :p

will be interesting to see how it pans out, i have to change my set up so i can turn better……..but buying parts is prohibited for me until next week or the week after next it looks like blackeye:

I’ve moved all the internals of the x-speed motor into the bb can, cleaned it etc. etc. and noticed now that it appears to spin up faster, and audibly has that high pitched whine (the OMG that sounds quick) on full throttle.

I think water break in of the motor ain’t such a good idea. I had rust on the poles (is that what you call them) and had to use my rotary tool to remove it all.

I’ll add some bearing oil to the motor bearings later on tonight -don’t want to run the motor can bearings dry.

Will have to test it out on your Tamiya speed checker when your next there.

:p:p:p

[TallduDe]

if i see your faster then me ill be most upset kev!

jking

ill have to get a bb can and fix up my x-speed the same way lol

[Aaron]

Anyone tried one of the new iWaver donks yet?

sorry guys, been crook the last two days… MK; the HPI is hopped up, all carbon fibre and blue anodised aluminium, just needs new motor. (about $80 odd bucks.) Have added new GTR R34 body (w/ decals, not painted or trimmed ie. new), and a few s/s pinions. Will bring it on Sunday…

[MiniKing]

Hey Dave,
Sounds good ill look foward to seeing it…How much would you want for it???Cause im intrested in getting a HPI micro..????:D

[dgs73]

much, much less than it’s worth… about $250. Just not able to juggle the running costs of both the Zs and the micro…

TD, If you get a bb can & end bell, make sure you get some motor brushes as well in case you need to replace the brushes.

The ones on my x-speed have about 1.5mm left on them.

Aaron, I haven’t ordered one yet. I was so impressed with Talldudes bearing motor that I had to have that one instead. But will definitely get the pro in the next order just to try out. 😀

DGS, sad to see you get rid of the hpi micro. That car was bloody quick it was dangerous.:smiley2:

I think this time next year, we all could be *possibly* running various 1:18 scale cars or various makes. I’ll be getting one eventually possibly a tourer or monster truck or both. The good thing about the 1:18 scale is that you can run indoors, outdoors and don’t need an absolute smooth surface to run on. 🙂

[TallduDe]

my brushes?

okay i might leave it den hahahahaha

1:18 im not into those i would rather get a tamiya mini to do club racing. but that would mean a better paying job and aregular timetable!

ahhhhh monday to friday 9 to 5 sooooon the dream will be a reality

soon!

[dgs73]

Kev; just no time for the bugger. Shame, it is an animal…

Dude it’s very easy to take the brushes out believe me, if I can do it anyone can ! I just used some open tweezers to seperate the two brushes when pulling the armature out.
🙂

dgs, completely understand about not having time.

Got my silver Mclaren F1 asc the other day and she’s a beauty.

😀

[TallduDe]

u got a Mclaren!

damn ur collection is getting huge now man!

is that going to be your RM racer?

[dgs73]

tasty shell, Kev… was eying off the M3 earlier, but it looks too much like an average 3 series to me. Pretty boring. ‘Yawn’ lol

[TallduDe]

seems to be the new “thing” this motor of mine for some strange reason?

now its not the plasma dash dude its this one.
http://www.rcmart.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=144_21_80&products_id=8487

its says

3Racing (#MZII-020) Ball Bearing Speed Motor

so i thought it meant it was an x-speed with bb can, turns out this motor has neo’s in it aswell!

kevsta had to tell me about this motor i bought it for the hell of it.

but it does chew through batt’s, on the plus side it has heaps of low down torque and a good top speed.

but ph2t that motor u should me is fassssst keeps up with dave’s car but hasnt got the top speed of it. still happy with it though :smiley16:
