OK, thanks. Do not have any experience with those motors. Found the list when searching for 130 torque motors in the net and then found those 2 unbuilt Mini-4WD in my mess and that they do come with 130s, too. Bought them once to maybe use the bodies in a Orlandoo once...

You need upgrade fets for those motors probably. I do have similar Atomic motors (fast, not torque), which do already have a sticker on the package "upgrade fet needed".

@@donaldsneffe From your videos, it looks like you are savvy with electronics. Please make a video on how to upgrade FET if you know how!

@@Diamondbac There is already a video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8pylsSdz7-dgnU.html It is not so difficult. Most difficult/dangerous is removing the old fets. You need very good eyes or a magnifying glass. Check the equipment I use in the description under the video, not very special or very expensive. Wont need the micrcoscope, a loupe will do the job, too.

It is probably a problem with drive train or shocks. Take out the motor and check if everything moves freely, including links and shocks. Probably a minor problem which can easily be solved. A tiny little bit of leaning is normal...

@@donaldsneffe That's an excellent suggestion. Thanks for that!

i have the same problem, did you ever resolve it?

@@cr3a1ur37 yes, it was down to the diff housing being too tight against the gears. Remove the offending diff from the drive train and check it's running free. I had to open it and remove some flash from the moulding on the lower half of the clamshell.

@@TheTruthHz thank you!

Sehr cool! Danke - werd ich gleich probieren!

I know those, even bought for my other Mini z. But I thought, they closed the company recently?

@@donaldsneffe they sold the business new owners have taken over.

@@trevorthomas6043 Found a 41000 KV Atomic motor new in box in my Mini-z parts box - not the right motor for the 4x4 ;-)

Die Kondensatoren dienen dazu, Störungen anderer Signale oder elektrischer Geräte zu vermeiden. Sonst kann es zu Störungen z.B. beim Servo kommen, ev. beim Empfänger, aber auch bei anderen "Funkern", die nicht im Auto sind (so ala aus Omas Zeiten: Die Nähmaschine ohne Kondensator am Motor störte den Fernseher...). Warum da jetzt 3 drauf sind und bei den alten Mini-Z 2 und bei anderen Autos mit kleinen brushed Motoren nur einer... weiß ich auch nicht. Ein Kontakt soll wohl jeweils auf Erde geleitet werden.

donaldsneffe super vielen Dank. Das war eine Frage die ich mir immer gestellt habe.

... it's so bulky on sofa and pillows...
