Busdriver 6207 Posted February 22, 2022 Will be interesting to hear what you think of the performance with the brushless motor. I only run mine on 7.2v NiMh and it flys. A lot of the time especially under throttle the steering goes really and it looks like it’s floating!!! If your going to run 3s it should take off!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor1410 34 Posted February 22, 2022 I am going to try 7.2 NiMh first as been told can be bit on the fast side. Will wait for some open space to try 3s. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor1410 34 Posted February 22, 2022 Just put in my blue brushless and set pinion same hight as on stock motor and sounds like it is just spinning. No movement on wheels at all. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No movement on wheels at all. Any suggestions? The stock motor has that raised bit around the shaft which the Bluebottle lacks. Did you measure from the face of the motor where the screw holes are? If so, you might find your pinion is too close to the motor and not contacting the spur. If you take the motor screws and gearbox cap off, and just hold the motor in place by hand, you ought to be able to see what is happening through the hole where the gearbox cap usually goes.

The bluebottle is raised slightly but did not notice the difference. I should be more observant. I will check. Good idea, i will do that. The stem on blue is longer to, there was more out the top of pinion than the stck. It didnt seem right at the time. Many thanks will update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
