i would go with a 12. i always went 1 turn higher than what the esc could handle.

If you get an 11 or 12 turn motor you will notice a substantial improvement in accelleration and speed provided you gear correctly. I went from a 15 to a 12 turn and noticed quite a bit more power.

You will also notice how much more quickly those 11 turn motor brushes and commutator wear out.

ya an 11 turn will require a lot of maintenece... any thing below a 15 turn motor will be costly[:'(]

thanx for all your help
i appreciate it
i went with a
Trinity Speed Gem Pro Jet 11T Double Motor
they said that da brushes last like 3 times longer den other motors
+ i got a pair of extra brushes
thankx angain

iliketobreakthings

ya those P-94 brushes are supposed to last 3 times as long

goldmember7434

wait a sec
i got another question
how long does the cummutator and brushes last anyway for someone in my situation?

iliketobreakthings

probably 10-15 runs... just a guess

goldmember7434

thankx
damn that isn't that much
this rc car stuff is expensive
does anyone think i should get some new batteries?
because right now i got some really old nicd 1400 batteries
i was thinking on some 3000 nimh
and will it make much a diff in preformance other den the batteries last longer?
thanks so much for everyones time

I do the same that way if theres a mistake in gearing your esc should be able to handle it for a short time.

Edit: About the batteries I would suggest a set of matched GP3300 they can be had for around $35 and up.What charger are you using?

goldmember7434

oh
i was just used some old nicd timer charger
it will be fine if i get the math done with the time needed to charge
oh i was thinking on these batteries
tell me what you think
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=215
my charger will work fine right
i think it charges at 5 amp
that might be a little much
but it charges like 8 year old nich
so i dont think it'll hurt any if i get a new one

I have never used those packs but have seen that link posted many times on this forum.

I'm not sure on the charger either If I were you I would upgrade to a peak charger.

Another good hopup would be deans connectors they are cheap and if you are good at soldering easy to install.

Also if you get more nicd battery definetley get a dis-charger.

goldmember7434

does nicd have any atvantage over nimh besides da price
i have a discharger right now
i might get a smart charger just for the nimh's
i just dont know if my batteries right now are being used at there full potential due to "memory" effect

kimberklr

i really doubht your taking full advantage of your new motor with those batteries and that charger.
you can get a decent deal (mid $20.00's) on decent sanyo 3000hv(nimh) packs if you look hard enough and a decent peak charger will run about 50 dollars.you can even find some good 20 dollar range sanyo 2400 nicads.
either way you go i think you'll have a much more enjoyable time with decent batts.

iliketobreakthings

ya those batteries dont look like they will be very good with a 12 turn motor... you could excpect to pay about $50 for a pair of good 3000 mah batteries

goldmember7434

thanx
i'm gonna test my car out with that new motor
then i might get some new batteries and a charger
i dunno
i was thinking on the same batteries posted above and a smart charger
that is if there isn't a real diff between cheap batteries and expensive ones
tell me what you think

goldmember7434

oh here's a link of what i'm thinking on getting
sorry i forgot
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=360

kimberklr

well there's definetly a difference its just how much your willing to comprimize.imo you should stick with any cell made by sanyo,panasonic, or gp in the 2400 to 3300 range
.nicad or nimh,there's arguements both ways but i would try to get into nimh's.but you must have a peak charger for nimh's.they are very sensitive to overchargeing.

goldmember7434

ya
i dont wanna spend to much on batteries
but i'll go up in price if i want more features if its worth it
like 2nd to dirt cheap
i just dont know the atvantages the expensive batteries have over da cheap ones other den they are 100% positive to work
i mean a battery is a battery right?
but i think i'm going with this
http://www.batteryspace.com/index.as...ROD&ProdID=360
if these batteries + charger are really bad i'm sure i can be conviced to buy a step up
i just dont wanna be thinking whoa why didn't i just get these dirt cheap ones
thanx for everyones patientense

kimberklr

well good luck with that batt./charger.
let us know how they work out for you.

goldmember7434

yo
i got my motor today
damn this thing flies
19t to 11t is much diff
it drains the batteries like hell
1 battery lasts like bearly 5 min
but its worth it
so i'm thinkin on buying those batteries
it would be much worth it

kimberklr

you think it flies now wait till you get some real batteries to push some amps through it.

mosstornado

i have a question.... wats faster a 19t or a 15t.... and also wat does 3000battery last longer then a 1400?

R/C-SS

Hey guys! I'm also interested in getting some new batteries and a charger. I think i found some batteries that I can use, but what about that smart charger as mentioned earlier? Is it any good, because I'm not racing and I don't won't to spend a lot? Thanks.
