WOW that takes me back!! I Raced for Team Associated, and some of us USED Technigolds in Super Stock Racing!! 😳 A buddy of mine had experienced taking the Endbell off by simply ripping it off - with devastating results! 😖 Team Racing was a stressful thing. "Cleaning" a Motor involved placing the Can in a Magnitizer after Hydrosonic cleaning, and turning the Comm on a bloody MINI LATHE!! Speaking of Timing, as an experiment, I took a 9 turn Triple, cranked the Timing up to *40 degrees* and fit it in a On Road Racer... It did almost *70mph* for about 20 seconds! Then it melted!!

Good rule for sport/mild tune motors with adjustable timing, is 1 or 2 degrees is fine, and more if you have a lighter load, for instance a smaller pinion or bigger spur or smaller diameter tires. YMMV, but I had good results from it back in the day. But gearing, weight and wheels being the same, it`s best not to change it more than 1 or 2 degrees IMO, and if you DO change the timing, maintenance requirements increase exponentially :)

@randomrodent91244 жыл бұрын
Nice video, thanks for presentation. The ridges are just an indication that the motor is hardly used. The brushes have such ridges when they are brand new and will gradually wear down to fit the shape of the comm. There were many who used to "run in" motors with new brushes at reduced speed/voltage without load (to avoid sparkling/soot at the comm). The tuning on these modified brush motors are interesting: By changing the angle of current flow to the comm in relation to the position of the magnets, the RPM can be increased. This comes at the cost of more current draw and less torque though. Therefore it may be better to see if the required speed can instead be obtained by installing a lager pinion and keep the tuning near neutral.

Glen with all the Tamiya Motors ever made can you get all the information off their stock 7.2 or 7.4 voltage what's their stock RPMs are there all rated at even the ones that aren't Tamiya.

have you tried a technipower? higer rpm but slightly less torque

chloe devereaux Yeah I’ve got one but it’s in a bit of a state at the moment 😭 I’ve done the cosmetic side of it, but it now needs parts! Not sure it’s worth it cost wise tbh 😭 Thanks as always for watching buddy 😊👊🏻

I think i would have skimmed the comm in a comm lathe, just a quick tickle over to clean it up and make sure its still completly round. Failing that you could get fibreglass brush / pens that cleaned the copper up too.

How different is this motor compared to the Tamiya sport tuned black series
@TAMIYALegends4 жыл бұрын
Raymond Wilson There very similar in performance with the Technigold edging it. I’ll try do a comparison video soon to show the difference 😊👊🏻

Recently picked up an old Bigwig and it has one of these motors in there. Haven't tested it yet. What sort of ESC would I need for the Technigold? The Bigwig I have has an MSC in it still. Thanks!

Hello Glenn. I have a question. I drive in my Buggy the rx540vz and i will replace them. For the technigold and the dynatech motors brushes are hard to find and at this time it is a collector item and its better to save him. On the paper, the superstock series have more torque and more rpm, but they have more turns, too. Is the super stock motor better or not as the VZ? The second idea to replace is the dynarun super touring motor. Is a 13 by 2 turn motor. The same as the 02H. But more rpm and amp´s. What for a motor of these two can i use? Thanks

Guys I've mixed up some of my rotors after a break from the hobby, and I can't remember if they are a technigold or technipower, dynatech 02h what have you. Is there an easy way to tell which rotor belongs to what motor?
@randomrodent91244 жыл бұрын
Hi I think that the Dynatech 02H has Double winding on rotor while the Technipower and Technigold has Single winding on the rotor. So check the rotors. If the winding is Double it is not a Technipower or Technigold.
