traxxas 775 motor in your rc10??

[scr8p]

I think this thread has inspired me to run a Tamiya 380 motor in an RC10 at the Vintage Nationals.

that would mean that you'd actually have to build an rc10 for the v-nats. we all know that will never happen.

Kcal is that a 775 in that car??

Longboard sorry its a 550 or traxxas titain fan cooled motor the can is longer but there is a larger diameter on the 750 they have 3x the torque but a larger can and you most likely wont be able to pull it off if space is a concern also the mounting screws are wider by maybe an 1/8". The pic was mostly to show that brand recognition is wasted on the run what you brung crowd, I have four beautiful children and I tend to try what I have on hand out because that's what I have to work with, while I adore my hobbies it is more important to me that the kids can explore theirs after all your only a kid once. I hope this helps there is no gain you'd get from a 700 series that you couldn't duplicate with a nice brush less set up but that's another topic. If it makes you feel better it doesn't fit well and doesn't perform as well as a silver can motor in that particular car. Now if we were talking geared boats........ well another topic too I suppose. I hope I was helpful.

Ha btw as Eyore would say, "Thanks for noticing" have a good one and if your in the Tampa bay area give me a holler while I may not win in a race I have four demons backing me up and they don't take any excuses............ Trust me I have tried........ Really tried but we don't talk about the pony anymore, I also have an excellent recipe for horse ribs if you are interested sweet and spicy!

oh ok i didnt think it was a 775 but i wasnt sure.. the reason i asked cause if it fit the same mounting points as a 540 i would try to get one and try something different..thanks for saving me the time by telling me the mounting points are wider by maybe an 1/8. i know brushless set ups are much better. i just dont want to spend that kind of cash

Longboard I didn't want to put you off of a potential project, just wanted to let you know some of the issues you'd face in re-motoring to a 700 series. I too would like to go brushless and Lipo but for the same reasons as yourself I have not.

no worries kcal you didnt put me off a project..im very happy you told me that...im more of a bolt on kind of guy..i dont like the mod to fit stuff..
im glad to hear im not the only one not in the brushless lipo gang maybe one day ill go brushless lipo if it gets real cheap...hey you never know .. many years ago i never thought id be able to get a nicad higher then 1700 for under $20

[Kcal]

Yeah Nicads are super cheap now, I am hoping the same for brushless/lipo too. Now if gas and groceries could become cheaper.........
