no the mini ..cannot take a mod motor .. it can't even run a 27t motor without stripping it's gears ...
stick with a rs540 motor .... thats was it's only intended motor ..

the 18500 rpm ...is it's max rpm at 7.2volts ...
a p2k2 should b able to do close to 30000 rpm at 7.2 volts ...
so u can't compare it .... plus p2k2 ..way more torque ...lol

pink pac man

the faster 1 is the rs 540 chrome can[tamiya] not the gray 1........it also lasts longer and is more tolerant to higher gearing


540 motor dismanteling
:you can have a go at it with a pair of pliers [so its kinda still useable
r you can do what i did and [when its stuffed and doesnt work anymore] go out side where the ground is nice and hard and pag the motor as hard as you can at the ground the pick up what you want and run before any1 comes and tells you to clean up

got it pink pac man...


FlyinGt... can you compare the monster stock pro against the p2k2... which one has more torque and RPM?..


anyone can reply too... if you know it... thanks...

benlosi

the rs sport tuned is a 20x1 over the stock 27x1.to bad it still has bushings though

FlyinGT

the p2k2 has more torque than a monster pro
an the monster pro is suppose to have higher rpm's

but if u look carefully on the printed dyno sheet
teh p2k2 has more power than the Monster an it's rpm is about 18000 rpm at 5.0v where most monster are at about 19000 to 22000 rpm's at 5.0v

but the monster has a easier an more usable power band
while the p2k2 has a smaller band an thus without proper gearing wil never work as good as a monster

pink pac man

can you provide proof of it bieng a 20 turn........cos i sware its not

FlyinGT... so you mean go for a monster pro than p2k2?..

YEAH, BUT throw in the equations a nemesis 10L with a schulze 18.97kw is that more powerful than a silver 540.........hmmm..........

FlyinGT

i recommend trying both ...
some ppl love the p2k2 some don't i prefer the tuned monsters by others brands .. such as Fukuyama's Mako.

are u racing on a big track ?? if so i beleive the monster would b better suited due to it's powerband.
on a smaller track a p2k2 with the correct gearing is fast ..
test it out if u do get a p2k2 ...try different pinions an spurs an feel out how the power comes on an off

but with torque motors i like the team orion core stock ..!!

hehehe... im trying to ask some advice to trim the budget... but as long as i go... i think i really need to get a job for this hobby... hehehe... those were cool tips FlyinGT... thanks...

Have a look at this -


http://frontlinehobbiescomau.ozstagi...name&group=All

Tamiya Motor RS540 - $19.95 Aussie? That's REALLY cheap. The pic looks like a standard motor. I have emailed them about it and hopefully i will get a reply and let you know.

Only wondering since my LHS is selling them for $49.95 lol

Sorry guys, after having a futher look i found this -

http://frontlinehobbiescomau.ozstagi...ctric%20Motors

Which one are you talking about? The RS540 or the RS540 Sports Tuned? Also what is the difference?

MDL

FlyinGT

we are talkin about the sports tuned RS540 !!

difference is rpms !! sports tuned is just a performance version !!
its black so u always can tell the difference to the standard silver 540 can motor

that's too much !! we get it @$35aus ...at my LHS ...!!

ouch 49.95 is too much .... !! that the price of a good monster !!

MDL

yep $49.95. Same box and everthing. I would like to get one of these to have a play with. I have a Epic. sports tuned. It's good. I would just like to see the difference in the engines.

What gearing are you running in yours FliyGT?

I think that I have mine geared to high (TB02)

MDL

FlyinGT

well i don't actually race the motor ...
i've raced it in a Tamiya mini(which i don;t own)

gearing for it would b very similiar to a 540 motor
so a good 35 to 40mm rollout !!
depends on track ...
most pll only use the black rs540 in Tamiya F1, mini's an stock class for TCS ....so usually gearing it limited to what the biggest pinion the car can take !!
