Hi, I want to upgrade my stock motor, when looking at kyosho's website I saw this motor named "X-SPEED HALF 8 HT MOTOR " click to see Is there anyone who use this? Does HT stands for high torque? Thanks.

hi guys. i just want to ask if someone had used RAD 400 on their H8? i am currently using the speed 400 race 4.8V with an 8-cell pack which is pretty good/fast right now. it just gets hot always til the ESC stops. i am thinking how will be the RAD400 on our H8 compared to the speed 400 race....

Hi, now I'm using the x-speed sp motor now but I want to try the Atomic high speed motor. This motor is 22 turn, as long as I don't know about x-speed specifications I want to know that if stock esc can work with a 22 turn engine, as second I want to learn if it fits without any modifications. Can...

I've recently purchased a Mini Inferno, and in my true nature, I'm already upgrading parts. I've got 8 cell battery packs on order, and just got a new motor. It's a Inopo. It's supposed to be a little faster than a kyosho X Speed. I installed it today and ran it for a little bit. Whenever I give it...

Recentley got a mini Inferno ST. Had a lot of fun since I upgraded the battery to Kyosho 9.6v 1100Mah battery set but would love a bit more power. I was thinking of going for the X-Speed motor at first and see how I got on. Is there anything else that will give me more speed without going...

Hello, This is my first EP buggy which my Dad gave me. I am worried that if I use this motor, my stock gears/differentials will break. What other options are there for Brushless and ESC? Lastly, if I use the Quark ESC, can I still use the stock transmitter and receiver? Is it plug and...

Hello fellow Mini Inferno'ers,(does that work? :p) Well I got my Wraith 7k motor today and ran it. But before I get to the review I would like to give a big thanks to Troy over at www.b-p-p.com. I've talked to him on the phone and he is a super cool and knowledgable guy. I was going over...

I'va got a mamba 5400 system and my friend has a 5400 mini rage...its virtually the same motor down to the green cans and mambe controller...recently my friends car started cogging really bad during start up and you have to barely pull the throttle to get it going. We tried replacing the wires with...

There isnt really an indication of the speed of any of these online, does anyone have information about which is fastest? Is there another brushed motor faster? I know I'll get many reccomendations to go brushless, so.....I dont need max speed, but I DONT want ANY cogging.

Wow, went from 6 cell batteries to 6 cell NiMh. The difference was huge. Is the step from 6 cell to 8 cell as big again? Or am I going to get better performance by going to lighter lithium’s. Car is totally standard. The only thing I really want to do is put the lower ratio 12 tooth gear on the...

I just brought a Mini-Inferno. I also got a 9.6v batt pack also. Just wondering what the max safe Voltage is for the std motor. As the guy at teh LHS said something along the lines of 8.4v is the limit. Can anyone help. As I havent had it long enough to deceid if I want to upgrade everything yet....

I can get either, and I want to know which one is better. Do you guys have any specs to compare, or a flat-out answer? thanks a lot!

does anyone know what turns a x-speed motor is? tanks

Is there a place to buy parts for a motor so that I can custom-assemble one? I'd like one made to my specs. Specifically, I'm looking for - silver can -armature -ball bearings -pinions -brushes -endbell

Can I run an AON or a Wraith with my Mamba 68K esc? Has anyone ran into problems? I'll be running 8 1200 batts.

http://www.lrp-electronic.de/e/lis/ It's a 370 motor and I was wondering if anyone has tried it yet. Dang I just noticed it says for 4-7 cells.

I have the batteries, now I need a litle more "oomph" to push my KMI. But I want to stay in stock class. So what would be a good motor to compete in stock class? What is the best 370 motor with no sticker?

Well my mamba 8000 motor just heaped out and I am tired of messing with all my RC's. I just want one of them to work good for a while. I want my mini to be my fun reliable RC, so I am thinking that I should probably just get a cheaper brushed motor, are there any good ones out there that are close...

this is the hop-up motor for the vendetta.. but has anyone tried it in the half8th,, since they are both using 380 motors.. and more so,, the vr3 motor has adjustable timing..
