I want to get the Jet Dash, it is the only motor out of all of ’em that has 22 for it’s torque (whatever that means). Even the plasma is only 20. See the following table:

I ripped it off this site:

that’s strange, so far all the Tamiya 4wd motors that HAVE brushes (confirmed by me) are:

Plasma Dash (Custom end mount)
Power Dash
Ultra Dash

Non-Brush motors:

Torque Tuned
Rev Tuned

true, it seems that to get the ultra high speed setup, you need brushes that are 90deg normal to the commutator. with the commy being 200% fatter in the plasma, the custom endbell it uses seems to be the proper solution.

with the other mini-4wd motors, the commy is not as fat, therefore enabling the angeled brushes to sit closer to centre.

I’ve read though that some of the ATOMIC series of motors use the same endbell as the plasma cans. There’s even a version that has one silver brush and one carbon brush. What’s the deal there?

Also, thank’s to betty’s testing he has found that the Tamiya Torque Tuned motor is faster than the x-speed! Give it’s a 3rd of the price of an x-speed, that sounds like a great deal.

hey tracky, are they propo?

thanks mate,

lol, yeah chris, the best way is to just cut them off mate. the less heat exposed to the copper pads at any time, the better…

you did say easiest though, and it’s appears quicker and easier than sitting there with a stanely knife trying to the slice your finger off…….:shock:

:approve:

I hate writing doco, reminds me too much of work……

ph2t, this is all just genius…AWESOME….but could you show us some pics on attaching the motor to the motor terminals on nelly? Thanks man!

Dude it ain’t that hard. Just get the two motor wires and push them into the orange terminal block. Then screw in the terminal block screws to hold the wires in place and your done.

[ph2t]

kevsta, if you tug at the turbo, nothing will happen. If you pull at it really hard, you could *possibly* do damage. Please note that the turbo is anchored VERY well, your idiot dial would need to be turned to 11 to break it off……

Tim, I brought your Z back from the dead dude, lol, and you know it. Let’s see here… hmm, stripped screw holes, busted wires, bridged solder tracks, exposed wires and one butt ugly mutant half concieved fet stack that I put to rest….lol…..

Pete, dude you’re making as much sense as always……:approve:

I’ve changed the orientation of the motor terminal block now to improve clearance for those really low shells.

Here’s a nelly installed on Tim’s mr-01.

I’ve settled into the method of feeding the cables out the front. This allows those people using the centre damper shock avoid any conflict of space with nelly. All I did was gouge out a bit of the plastic on the PCB cover and this allowed the cables to pass through no sweats.

Now to get off my butt and get some proper install doco happening…..

ph2t.

[ph2t]

and where…..

[ph2t]

so what’s a good jap cell then? and no fucking jokes…. lol…

[ph2t]

lol dude, I know. someone doesn’t get out that often…..

[ph2t]

After some play-by-play updates by Jamie I can now happiliy confirm that nelly works well on the XMOD.

thumbs up!

[ph2t]

no shit, that’s what I thought. I’ve scored some panasonic Li-ions from an old laptop supply. They are CGR17670 and they have a capacity of 1250 mah. The tradeoff is that they’re longer BUT they were free, so I no complain…..

[ph2t]

a hot motor levels the scene fellas….the miniscule differences in capacity won’t make too much of a difference in runtimes, not that this will stop me from bying them,…… 🙂

Hachi, the “suspension” on the front end can cause this. try and use a stiffer suspension plate on top to negate any vertical movement in the front wheel knuckles. this might help.

I’ve noticed putting springs in the front end CAN help BUT if not matched well the problem you describe happens.

good luck man,

ph2t.

[ph2t]

Stuff buying it when they post pics of the armature.

The pattern is clearly evident here:

Mind you the commutator is nothing to cry home about. Yet to see anything that matches the plasma dash for a “beefy rear end!”

Hey Jamie, check your mailbox dude….

and here’s the solder points, colour coded to the nelly I sent you….

cheers,
