The problem with the 12T is that remember you had to reverse the motor wires so you were running the 12T in reverse and those motors come with a set amount of advanced timing but when it has to run backwards your running the timing retarted, thus the slow speed if you had a reverse rotation 12T 550 it would go a bit faster you could also run bigger pinion and get more speed that way and it would probably run cooler ,I didn't read all the comments maybe someone has said this already but if not hope this helps.

hey man, I myself have done some testing & after some research. I've come to find out that lower turns doesn't always mean the motor would be faster. If you did a comparison of only 550 12t motors from different manufactures (which is slim these days), you'll notice the motors all have a different peak rpm@7.2 or 12v. At the moment... a budget friendly & well crafted motor that lives up to the performance of a 12t 550 motor in my opinion is the holmes hobby trail master sport. I'm currently using a Holmes hobby 21t trail master motor with a 25t pinion, it's noticeably faster & gives off less heat than the stock 20t motor. I plan to swap out the motor for 550 12t trail master motor when it becomes available.

If you use a 3650 brushless motor, you'll encounter clearance issues, which can be one reason your motor shaft appears too short. Its much better to use a 3660 instead. Not only will a A 3660 be longer for proper fit (60mm instead of 50mm) but it will have a longer shaft (17mm vs 15mm) and a lot more torque. My 3660 motor fits perfect with a bit of room to spare, the shaft is the right length, and it absolutely flies...

For anyone who is looking at upgrading you could also use something like a 3660, 3300kv brushless motor (why 3300kv? for 3s Lipo of course ;) and a 19t 48p pinion from Robinson Racing. With the 19t pinion instead of 16t and a 3300kv motor it hits the same top speed of 29 mph (19t/16t = 1.19 * 3300kV = 3900kV equivalent).

You didn't mention in your video, but I'm guessing your 20T motor was a 540? A 20T 540 and a 12T 550 motor have about the same rpm/KV so it makes sense that on the stock pinion the top speed is about the same. The 550 will however have a lot more torque meaning you can gear it up; use a larger pinion to increase top speed without the motor overheating as much as it may on a 540 if you over gear it.

Ha! I hope you win it! We could all take bets on how far it drives on 6S before it explodes.

If you have the program card that goes with it, pretty sure you can turn off the LVC to allow it to run nimh.

It will still do you well. Is it a 540 or 550 can motor? You might still pick up speed with a 540 can.

Whats the point of doing these how to videos....if you not going to show...HOW TO DO IT!!!....if your just going to skip all the actual install...then just show the car running already....some people are actually struggling with the install techniques themselves...

I apologize. I will go back and look again. I thought I showed each step along the way. Which part are you struggling with?
@RoadsideRC3 жыл бұрын
I went back and looked - the point of this video was not to show how to convert from brushed to brushless, but to help show what the difference was. Not a how-to video at all. Either way - I am happy to help if you are having problems getting it figured out. What is the trouble you are running into?
