you will see a great loss of power. also you should try breaking in that motor with the water break in method http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVk4k...el_video_title and you can replace brushed in a motor fairly simple and brushes are cheap so when you see a great deal of power loss just replace the brushes in the motor im guessing its a titan 12 turn
If you brushes are starting to go bad you will notice less power and also you may start hearing a screeching noise coming from you motor.
ok thanks :D
If it's a titan 12t from traxxas you won't be able to replace the brushes unfortunately. But it does give you a good reason to go BrushLESS =]
Traxxas 12T titans are pretty cheap to replace. but if you do go brushless, there is almost 0 maintenance.
well the tires turn but nothing else happens so i think motor is shot i havent looked into it yet but when i hit gas nothing happens so ill look more tomorrow :)
great tutorial!!!
hey can i not breakin the motor and just run it or do i have to break it in first?
