nicds have a memory effect if u dont fully flatten them, so they need to be fully discharged.. NiMH have a reduced memory effect but i’d still recommmend flatening them before chargeing to prolong the life of the cell.

custom shells, mods and tipsi can race…

custom shells, mods and tipsi just pulled the slipping wheel off added a drop of araldite put the wheel back on and voila! no more crazy donuts

custom shells, mods and tipsive got a basic schematic of how the motor and FETs interact…its on my site in the custom dual speed bit…

custom shells, mods and tipsi know this dude who got acid in his eye when a 9v exploded….ouch!

custom shells, mods and tipsit pretty much involves taking apart the motor and rewinding the armature with a thicker wire and less winds, all u need is enamel wire a soldering iron some fine sand paper and a screwdriver…
start by taking the end bell off the can and pulling the armature out. then you have to desolder one of the points where the wire attaches to the commutator, (try to find the point where the end and start of the wire are attached, not the points where the wire just loops over) then start unwinding, count the number of turns the motor has..should be about 70. when the motors fully unwound, get some enamel wire, sand or melt off the enamel coating so u can solder it to the commutator, solder it on then start winding…wind it as per oposite to the way you unwound it..you should only need one very long piece of wire…
I use 30 B&S guage wire which is availible from jaycar but some people use thicker guages depending on prefrence….
43 turns is as low as you can go with standard FETs in the z, anything lower will fry your FETs…so only do about 45 or 50 turns
Aparantly the x-speed motor is just the stock motor with 50T instead of 70T….
start with cheap motors so u get a feel for it without destroying expensive kyosho products..http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsyeah i guess less than $20 is a fair price…to get bearing that small id prob be paying alot more

custom shells, mods and tipsif everone brings a garden hose we can make a huge track easy….

custom shells, mods and tipsum i think u mean FETs not crystals..crystals are what governs the freq…3004 are what come in the z and IRF7389s are what most people use…im not sure they are the best tho..aparantly people use “secret” FETs, stingy bums wont say what they use…
and also i found out that dse, jaycar, and altronics dont have crystals over 10mhz… but i can get 25mhz easy enough..would this work?http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsdamn… i geuss cause there so ity-bity
http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsill get onto the FETs soon…its just i have to drive to smithfield to picke em up :angry:
also does jaycar or dse stock crystals? ….cheaper than buying a whole set…http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsdoes anyone have exact specs for these.. there is a very good bearing manufacturer near me they’ll probably be abit cheaper..
http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsthe motor will create a back emf when its rolling tho…this creates abit of breaking power via eddy currents..
http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipsu still got that trueno for me?
http://gtahh.web1000.com/
custom shells, mods and tipswow..those shells make my mr2 look like it came out of a dogs arse….
yeah ive got that prob…i dont know how to fix it either….
19
i think they are attached to the wheels…and those wheels look like they were specifically designed for the rotors
lmao if u wanna put it that way then…
“i’ll be a careful driver and not crash”yeah i hooked up a third 10nF cap across the terminals and wow…no jitters. my z is now caffine free:)
now that my motors running great and I can go in a straight line I’m amazed at how much faster my rewound motor goes than the stock…yeeasshhh. im not sure how much more abuse the shell can take…
*screeeeechhhhh—-crash—tinkle….sweet ill try it…im using 650maH nimhs so i dont think its starving the batteries…ill hook up the 3rd cap pronto
or the hydraulic lines….
yep i water dip mine, i shake it underwater to get all the air bubbles out….yeah i got some 30 BS guage from jaycar they have quite abit of variety. ($5.75 for a 25g roll) and i rewound my tamiya motor to 45T.. it has a fairly decent to speed on it too.
A problem i had was that when i was using the motor the steering had a tendancey to get possesed. after i soldered 2 10nF caps across the can and terminals it has been reduced, but every few meters the car has abit of a shake where the steering flicks left then right quickly. it doesnt really affect the car that much but is pissing me off heaps..why is this caused? is it interference from the coil? or back emf from the motor?yeah i need to buy some SWG30 wire…ive read that the x-speed is just the stock motor with 50T instead of 70T and if my tamiya motor goes the same speed as the stock motor it should theoretically go as fast as an x-speed with less winds..but its not quite up to par…
ill get some new wire and see how that goes…Edited by – GT-ahh on 13 January 2003 23:44:41
why yes yes it did
