the jaycar motor was 100 turns of really thin wire, and the commutator is steel, with 4 brass leaf springs (2 on each side)…
anyway I rewound it to 45T and tested it… I found that after running for 20+ minutes on 75%-100% throttle the FETS were packing enought heat to burn my lower lip…ouch
I read that 43 turns is the absolute minimum number of turns but with 45 my FETs are getting toasty…I don’t want to run it for anylonger incase I fry em..so i think ill stick to 50T 🙁

i was thinking if mabuchi makes motors for tamiya and kyosho, i could buy one of those cheap tamiya track runner things just for the motor, and rewire it…
so the question is..does tamiya still use “mabuchi” motors?
so for the cost of a tamiya track runner (even cheaper if I could order motors directly from somewhere)plus the cost of wire and capacitors, plus a small labour fee I could be knocking out x-speed equivalent (or faster, for turbos) motors… now if only i had an x-speed to compare with…:smiley2:

yeah i was abit indecicive before i bought mine…but now i hardly ever play with my bits…make sure u buy a good charger and some NiMHs or you’ll be paying heaps for alkalines.
The charger i got is probably the cheapest one that can charge batteries in around an hour
all up
My z cost $229,
My charger cost $69
NiMHs $12
TOTAL = $310
