The only new brushed motors that perform like they should are Tamiyas range of Superstock motors, I Even the modern Reedy Radeon 30,000 rpm motors don’t do 30,000 rpm ......... Completely agree! I solely run SuperStock BZ on my recent various buggies for this reason. They feel old school good quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've got to be careful. 2 hours ago, Snappy1 said: Even the modern Reedy Radeon 30,000 rpm motors don’t do 30,000 rpm ......... Agreed, I have one of those Radons too, and it seems a little lazy... not as much punch as I was expecting, although it does reach a decent RPM. I'll pull it apart at some point, I'm curious what's actually in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Jon 684 Posted August 14, 2022 Just chiming in to agree that most readily available brush motors don't hit like the vintage ones. I've got a variety of Yeah Racing Hackmoto motors, and they're pretty lazy for the wind. A cheap little hop-up, not a racing motor. A 23t Super Stock vs a 23t Hackmoto would be an unfair comparison, but they're cheap and peppier than a silver can. Team Brood still makes exceptional brushed motors to your spec, if you want to pay high-end brushless money for a brushed motor. They are very popular with comp crawlers and are worth it from a quality standpoint. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lentner3 281 Posted August 20, 2022 In my experience I have decided it’s only worth going vintage or branded brushed motors or brushless. For the cost of a cheap brushless setup up its not worth the time getting a cheap Chinese can unless it’s for show and even then it might as well be a silver can. I’ve also found another cheap option for a boost is just to increase the voltage if that’s an option. You will be surprised how much the stock silver cans can handle. there is also something cool about vintage rebuildable motors that can become a hobby all in itself. Both the engineering and the rare collectible elements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snappy1 966 Posted August 22, 2022 Just a heads up, I picked up a brand new Team Orion 13 turn triple off eBay , after an offer it came in shipped to Oz for under $50 AUD, the seller is in Germany and has more.........also many other winds are available, I particularly wanted the triple.
