Hey guys, just curious.. is it fine to pair 380/390 size brushed motor with 60amp brushed esc like hobbywing quicrun 1060?

Sure, probably down to a 20 amp... But why would you be putting a 380 size motor in a mini? They come with a 540. ..... now i'm thinking about how a 380 based mini class would go...

The "Hobbywing style" ribbed motors are 380s in a 540 sized can. Works friggin awesome!

Just ordered the M07 from RC Mart, who were showing stock instead of the backorder shown before but I might have that dead wrong.

I see no separate thread but no reason not to continue in this one.

Went against totally against the principle of waiting for the bugs to be ironed out but guess I got caught up in all the FB hype ;-)

Nope its not for the mini
Its for my wltoys vortex haha, other forums is not active like this forum lol

So its fine right? Its brushed not brushless

380 brushless motors tend to have less torque but more RPM than 540 brushless, which is exactly what a mini needs.

You will get zero arguments from me on this subject. Every mini I"ve driven has had a rather excessive amount of torque.

I am starting to want a momentum machine...

Has Tamiya released that new mazada body yet curious as to what its wheelbase is for the M chassis

mazda 2? 239mm LWB

I believe that's the one.

To fix the hooking when cornering problem, I've gone from stock setup to:

1. Lwb and 0 washer on the rear upper suspension link following Tony G's advise to reduce camber. Physical camber was about -3.5 to 4.



I also switched to TA03 ball diff built using Tony G's recipe: 3mm ceramic balls + Tamiya Anti-wear Grease.



This works immediately. Lap times are 10s-ish.

2. Next I switched to Mwb. I was able to add a 1mm washer to each link and still no hooking.

This is expected of shortening the rear wheelbase. Lap times are 9 to 10s-ish.

3. Then I switched back to Lwb and was able to add 2mm washers and still no hooking.



Lap times are low 9s-ish, with a hot lap of 8+s.

I'll be sticking to this setup. I feel the improved lap times despite adding back 2mm of washers also has a lot to do with getting used to the handling of the M05 and my driving style adapting to it. I find that my laps are faster when I throttle hard and aim for the next apex, brake late and hard, corner slow with a small turning radius and repeat. The TA03 ball helped in this style of driving by letting us get on the gas sooner and earlier 3/4 way into the corner.

Yes, I'm running one! rcmart.com is selling it at 23.90 usd if i remember it correctly.

Here is an interesting read about why the M07 Concept is...

Looking forward to putting some laps down. has been a fun build so far.. very nice design and definitely next level when it comes to M-chassis.

I'm only just started the build. - gearbox and front arms. Plastics are certainly much better. There are a few things that don't make sense, but we've come to expect that. One thing in particular is both the spur and counter gear use spacers. It's one of those things you'd expect to be compensated for in the basic design.

The only other quibble is the way the parts are bagged vs the instructions. Just built an Associated buggy last week and the parts were bagged exactly in the order you needed them, with nothing to be set aside for another step a few pages later.
