NEW MOTOR!

[garvey]

[]id="blue">Hi all.

i have a new hornet i have just built and enjoying very much (first rc)a mate has given me a tamiya sport tuned motor part number ta53068. will this be ok to fit straight on to my hornet with no other mods and will it make much difference to performance????

[]thanks again all.

Just slot it straight in, it'll suit the car well, give you a better top speed but is fine on the standard speed control.

Would be a good idea to get a set of ball bearings for the car if you haven't already. Will give you a good speed increase, and reduce wear. You'll need 9x 1150 and 1x 850.

Yes, HunterZero has a good point - although saying that the Hornet box is simple enough that you would get away with the sport tune without the bearings... you would be getting a longer run time and less wear in the long run with them fitted.

Just a pointer: Test her before you go, else you could have a problem if you get there and realise that you've forgotten to solder something lol
