motor

[gavin]

I want a good motor with the best acceleration, can you tell me witch one to buy.

I assume your talkin bout stock motors. I heard the MVP's pretty good. I had a Reedy rage type R, and it had a lot of punch. The MVP and rage are pretty similar.

Dont get the Rage. I, my friend, and 98% of the people at my track say the quality is junk. We all had problems (funny, all but one) have had problems with the motor burning up because the endbell mysteriously falls off, scratches the comm, of when something fails, falls into the motor and locks it up. That motor is really BAD IO(our)O. I think they just messed that up. But, even though your not going to buy the mod, i hear the Reedy Ti's are AWESOME, so it must be just somethign with the Rage. Get that MVP or whatever it was called.

Go brushless you'll save $$$ you won't regret it and you definately smoke all brush motors!!! trust me!! A guy told me once that fast ain't fast till you go brushless!!!(RadWeld) :D

We're new to the sport. We bought a T3 RTR, and replaced the stock motor with a MVP when the stock one died. The MVP is fast compared to what we had, but is a brushless motor better? How are they maintained? Who makes them? Are they expensive? I saw that Novak was releasing one this summer, but that is the first one I have heard about. Thanks for any help.

It also kinda depends on what type of racing you are doing. Whether you are racing on or off road helps decide as well. I can tell you that stock motor wise, its hard to not at least consider the P2k and the Green Machine 3, both of which I've run in my B3 offroad and geared correctly they run with most lower end mods.

Just something to think about.

Go with a Orion Chrome Stock Motor for stock racing. Switch the stock springs with trinity green springs and some reedy 767 brushes.
The new MVP motors have those new C4 magnets and have even more punch than the orion but I haven't been able to find that top end speed. But if all your looking for is that punch tan go reedy MVP.

Brushless motors aren't really better or worse. They're different and unaccepted in normal racing right now. They are usually extremely fast, and low maintainance, since they don't have much in the way of parts that wear out. And most (all) are expensive but cheap when compared to the overall cost for normal brush motors. www.aveox.com (http://www.aveox.com) www.gm-racing.de (http://www.gm-racing.de) and http://www.gtdodd.demon.co.uk/index.htm
