Super Stock Rz Motor In Blackfoot.

[TAZ-NZ]

My Blackfoot has been a bit of a Shelf Queen (but not as pretty) , but lately I spent some time on it and sorted a few things that need doing and it's almost ready to run, but I've run into a hitch with the motor. I was going to run a Kyosho Magnetic Mayhem in it like I do my Mudblaster, but my blackfoot is fitted with Marui Big Bear tires on Lunchbox rims (much more scale looking), and the wheels don't clear the end bell of the larger 550 can magnetic mayhem. So I'm looking for a motor with good torque in a 540 can no longer than 50mm from back of the end bell to the front of the can (no including bearing housing at shalf end).

The Tamiya Super Stock Motor Type RZ is looking like a good option.

but what do you guys think ?

I know it 55mm long, but I not sure if than includes the bear housing at the shalf end, if anyone has one and can check for me that would be great.

It only rated to 7.2v but I normally run a 8.4v custom hump pack, any idea what will happen to preformace with extra 1.2v ?

(note this blackfoot is anything but stock, it's built to handle a Magnetic mayhem @ 8.4v)

Just give it a go if it will fit. I run my wifes Blackfoot Extreme on a Elite 3600 mAH 9.6v and have never had a problem.

If you want torque the TZ or BZ will give you more performance. The RZ is designed more for high speed.

Im running a Super Stock BZ and it goes like mad. its a great little motor. Now thinking of upgrading to a 19t to make it mad lol. If you gonna put a S S BZ in it i would get yourself a wheelie bar. i use the one off a Wild Willy 2 as it Wheelie like mad on grippy surfaces.
