thnx..with the same gearing this motor is way faster than my c2, almost too fast down the straight, but it was a little too hot for me at the end of the run, i did change to both purple springs and used the f brush, killer combo,but you only get like 2 runs with that brush, im going to try the 767 brush next.

Tim Stamper

767's work good, also try hurricane golds.

If you want to bump up the torque, drill a #56 hole in the center of the brush. It'll burn the brush in one run, but it is ballistic.

With a fan mine pulls 9A at 1V with Golds and it pulls 12A at 1V with the hole in the brushes.

sukh

ok thnx, im going to try that hole trick, how far do you drill into the brush?

RcCzarOfOld

Well, since they're pretty much fried after one run, just a couple mm should be more than adequate eh Tim?

How much is #56 in mm?

#56 is not 0.056inch, #56 is about 1.19mm.

Tim Stamper

Yup. not too far. About 1-1.5mm. I have tried various depths and it does change things if you go deeper.

I also trim the edges 5 thousands to help the heat issue.. Yea Tim hollow does too work well..

Tim Stamper

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering if it would keep the temps down. I was gonna try it tomorrow in practice. I sat down and did some funky cuts with my brush cutter and am gonna see what they do.

I believe multiple people have posted that the Komodo is a higher reving motor than the C2 and needs to be geared accordingly...which is lower gearing than a C2.

For what its worth-I ran my new EA KD19t last night and it was as fast or faster than my EA C2, but at 4 teeth less than the C2 (1.21")!!!

I did run it two teeth less (1.12")than a C2 TWO RUNS and it was starting to make the comm reddish on the 2nd run. I ran it a third time at one less tooth (1.09") and it pulled the whole run, but it was done after the third run.

I rebuilt it, ran it two more times at 4-teeth less (1.06" to 1.08")than a C2 and might have been a tad undergeared, but it was still fast and the comm looks like I just broke it in.


My C2 I ran at 1.21" and it was one run and done and fell off a little harder at end of run. The KD seems to pull the whole pack till the battery finally dumps!!

Race it on carpet and must say it is the fastest 19-turn on the market for three minutes. Geared at 32/116 tires 55.5mm 767 brushes stock springs and also running duel motor fans, this motos is fast but also it runs super hot, how do I keep my dragon from burning

Ray, i ran my motor 2-3 tooth up from my C2 and it was faster than the C2, i tried doing what you did but it was not as fast i was suprise you went down that much and was still fast.
