Title: Looking for motor Post by: jkracing on April 23, 2009, 03:03:00 PM I currently run a Novak XRS with the stock motor in my Leo-X, and the stock motor is starting to give up the ghost. I wouldn't mind a motor with a *little* more punch, but it seems everything I've tried is a ballistic missle. I mostly run the truck in my basement so I don't want a rocket of a truck. I also get scared when the truck starts cartwheeling at high speeds. I have visions of things breaking... :o
So far the motors I've tried that have been a little too much for my small course (and too much for my 6 year old who occassionally grabs the controller) are: Losi Speed (Mini-T upgrade motor...I don't think it's made any longer) Losi Frenzy (out of the MLST) Electrifly T-370 If anyone has a line on a motor that offers a little more than stock I would appreciate any info you have. Even if you have a line on a stock replacement or something equal to stock that would work too. It's seems like the past 6 months finding parts for these trucks is getting more challenging.

you can find them on ebay for about $10 to, so the price point is good. Title: Re: Looking for motor Post by: CLODGUY on April 23, 2009, 10:13:03 PM Try any stock replacement motor for the rc18, or check radio shack 4 a 360 size motor.
