pic 1 is the side motor terminal. you remove this by removing the pin that holds the transfer gear. so you will have a steel shaft, motor terminal and a bit of plastic that holds the terminal in place. you will notice that the metal on the top half of the terminal is copper. he’s added this for this mod

pic 2 is an added peice of copper which is wired to the original underneath motor terminal.this will be the underneath motor terminal for the second motor.

pic 3. he’s not using the heat sink as it will get in the way, so it’s held in with wire that goes around the motor and probably out the holes and gaps in the chassis and then twisted together. this works fine, i’ve done it when i’ve lost/broken a heatsink, just be careful as the entire metal surface of the motor is a terminal.

pic 4, the end.:smiley16: just remember, you want to wire the motors in parallel (ie connect all the + terminals together and the – terminals together, NOT end to end ; +-+-). if you do wire them in series the motors will just spin at half their normal speed:8ball:

not 100% sure but i think he’s an electronic technician or something like that.
an electrician sticks cables to houses and screw boxes to walls, and charge like a wounded bull.
an electronic technician repairs and makes complex electronic curcuits………..and charge like 10 wounded bulls!!:D
juz kiddin’. actually being an electrician is quite involving, i know a couple. and if a tech accidentally zaps themselves, it’s likely that it wil tingle or even hurt. but an electrician risks being turned into a pile of ash in a similar situation!!:8ball:

[betty.k]

he’s talking US$:8ball:

i got a 50 gram bottle from my local hardware shop for about $3 – 4. this will last a year or more. any brand will do, just ask for graphite powder:8ball:

i think calling micro an electrician is like calling a chef a dish washer!:8ball:

[betty.k]

and the winner is……….. ph2t!! try pronouncing that without giving your screen a spray!!:D

oh wait, there appears to be a late category. and the winner, for the biggest suck up job in ausmicro history iiis……………….ph2t!!!:D:D

is it possible to fit the 4wd kit in an overland?:8ball:

[betty.k]

well as someone who owns neither one an xmod is the more attractive option to me for different reasons mainly the price. i can afford to buy a mini rc and upgrades all at once as opposed to a mini z which i would have to upgrade slower. and i’m more of an off road lover than on, so the 4wd option is right up my alley. i’m not fussed about it being really fast, i won’t be racing, just buzzing around for fun. i’m also not worried about the limited choice of bodies. having said that, i’d love a hopped up mini z but i’m not too serious about rc so i’d probably buy an xmod:8ball:

[betty.k]

yeah, i know!:D some people just don’t know how good they’ve got it!:8ball:

looks like a good place to ask what you guys use to mask the windows. i tried real masking tape but it left goo on the body. also what’s a good way to strip back a shell after a, ahem, disasterous first painting attempt?!:8ball:
