Just your opinion...

[fasterthebetter]

how do u think a blazing star would run,

*fully ballraced[8D]

*novak super rooster esc, no turn limit[8D]

*Trinity P-94 8T Quad Split Motor[8D]

??

how fast do u think it would go and please tell me wat the difference is between a single wound motor and a doubke, triple or quad wound motor, will it give u more torque or speed or wat?

i could either get the 8t quad or a 6t double

help please

I don't know if you could gear it high enough to keep that low turn motor from burning up. That buggy has a lot of moving parts to puting such a fast motor in. I would imagine the gear case would grenade after a while.

Probably around Brussless speed.

Ive ballraced my Blazing and put a Novak Brushless system in it with no problems. Its got a 18t pinion and up till now there have absolutely NO issues with the drivetrain, dogbones, etc. (Im even using the stock tyres on pavement and very loose dirt, which makes for impressive rooster tails).

How fast? 35 or 40kph, maybe?

As for the single, double, triple winds, etc: the single ones are more "torquey", the triples, quads, offer smoother acceleration.

The Novak 5800 is about the quivalent of a 12T motor. and 8T is a lot faster than that. In addition Brushless motors are way more effcient than a standard brushed motor.

It would be insanely fast unless, as Shodog suggested, you can't get the gearing right.

I have a low-end Reedy 9T in a T3, and it is really fast. Must be around 30 MPH (~45 KPH). I think a Trinity P-94 is a higher-end motor.

If I was looking for that kind of 40+mph speed, I would look into nitro. You're pushing the envelope too far with electric to be happy. Electric cars ('specially Tamiya) are not really meant to go that fast. The motor brushes wear quickly in low-turn motors, and batteries start getting expensive and don't last so long. After 5 2000 pack in the T3, the motor started getting hotter. Probably needs to be taken apart and cleaned. Brushes are noticbly worn, but not gone.

You don't really want to go any lower than 10-11 turns in that kind of car.

I used to run a 13 turn in my top force for competition years ago, and that was pretty bad..

Well maybe I'm a little "crazy" but I built a blazing star a couple of years ago with a 7 turn motor and tekin speed controller. Swapped out the stock tires for some fatter pro-lines,and swapped the gear diffs for some ball diffs,and hit the streets. The car was very fast and had no serious side effects from the influx of power.Ran the car pretty steady for 6-8 months and had a real blast. The only problem I had was steering. Had to slow the car down a lot to get any steering of any kind. The car just wanted to push forward even with sticky tires. I also removed the damper spring spacers so the car road much lower which in turn made it less finicky at speed.I would highly recommend doing up one of these cars.They are fairly cheap to buy,and with a few mods-go like stink. Never had mine off road,so I can't verify want they handle like in that situation. [8D]

the fastest motor I ever bolted to the DF01 was a 10 turn, and gosh it was fast. That was with a tranny full of nylon gears (instead of the DF01 original aluminum idler gear).

[fasterthebetter]

so what do u think i should do,

stick it in and deal with the consequences or but say a 14 turn or something,

i could take some videos...

wat do u think?

[irenL]

why not?[8D]

[fasterthebetter]

ive just ordered from tower

ill post videos wen i get it

[][][]

just by the way, which one wouold then be better or faster, a 8t quad or say a 6t double?[?]

I find that VERY hard to believe, as you will strip spur gears quite easily if you don't have an aluminum motor mount when you run a hot motor on these cars.
