T-Maxx EZ Start

vectra · 24-02-2006 9:50am #1

My buddy got carried away yesterday starting his T-Maxx { well he was trying to start it}
When he saw smoke pour out of the little starter motor...Now he thinks it is knackered..
Question is this.
Can that motor be replaced with a regular motor ? As in a 27 turn stock or maybe a 15 or something ?
We have plenty of rebuildable motors lying around and i see it as being a viable exchange to make..

Sounds like he's been doing too much nitro action.
With electric, you're supposed to keep the smoke in !

So long as the diameter (and length) are similar to the "old" motor:
A mabuchi 540 7.2V or Graupner Speed 600 7.2 V wind, a buggy motor with about 15 turns, or a Johnson 6421 7.2v wind...any of them should do as a reasonable replacement.

I think i may have a 13x3 motor somewhere.
And he may have an 11x2 himself
OK
