Questions & Answers

Is this compatible with my Traxxas Bandit XL5?

Yes, it will fit and is a fantastic motor, but the XL5 Bandit can accommodate any 540 or 550 series motor. If you don't want to upgrade the esc, it will hold up to a 15t load. The motor accelerates as the turn is reduced. I hope this has been of assistance.

Which motor should I purchase to speed up my deadbolt? And what about gears?

If your vehicle is equipped with an AE- You can use a three-cell lipo battery for the five-speed control, which will make the car even faster.

Is this the same motor that comes with the deadbolt?

I have an scx10 that is brand new. 2 deadbolts included in the 35t stock

With stock gearing, this is a fantastic Everest 10 upgrade
5/5

  For an Everest 10 with stock gearing, this setup works perfectly. Simply avoid stripping the threads in the 14T 48pitch pinion gear. Make sure it's not too tight! I stripped mine by accident because the local RC shop only had traxxas pinions, not redcats. To get the pinion to mesh well with the stock spur gear, I had to use pliers to pull the 3mm motor shaft through the pinion (you can't just push the pinion all the way onto the motor shaft because that pushes the shaft into the motor a little bit, and you'll need that little bit of extra shaft space to mesh well). Another option was to slightly grind the pinion's end. br>br>With the 27T motor, it can go slowly enough for rock crawling but quickly enough to keep up with you when walking.

Motor is in good shape
3/5

On the initial break-in, the motor performs admirably. On first glance, it appears to be of reasonable quality. I found this purchasing experience to be lacking in some ways for my custom application, which added time, cost, and complexity to my project; no application or performance information included or available on their website - There are no specifications for voltage, amperage, or other factors. A motor in a bag is all there is to it. Screws aren't included in the package. The shaft size listed on the product page is not correct. It is 3mm. It's about 1/8" thick, and I believe it's three inches long. 175mm. A 3mm hub, coupling, or connector will not fit. I discovered that manually drilling one from 3mm to 1/8" caused wobble. I need a 3 for this assignment. Before I can use it for my application, I need to get a 175 to 3mm adapter. I would have ordered the correct coupling instead of the wrong one if I had known when I ordered the motor. So, while I like this motor, I believe it is only adequate for the time being.

Axial Axial Axial Axial Axial Axial Axial I recently purchased an Axial 27T electric motor from Amazon, and the price, quality, and speed of delivery were all outstanding; I installed it in my remote control Surfer Girl, and she now scoots like a pro
5/5

It's a big model, but it's got plenty of muscle to get up and go. I wouldn't want to go any faster than that because it would be too difficult to control. At 25 degrees Celsius, I'm running on a 4000 milliamp battery. I get about 13 minutes of use out of the axial 27t, and it gets warm but not excessively so. As a beginner to model boating, the speed and dependability of this motor are ideal for my needs, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone interested in remote control boating. You won't find a better value for your money anywhere else for the price.

Quiet, smooth, and capable of producing a lot of torque
5/5

The product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. This motor was purchased to replace my Everest Gen7's stock motor, which I believe is a 19t? I haven't been able to take it out on the trail yet, but a quick test drive around the driveway and in the yard revealed that it had a little more torque but was also much quieter. I couldn't believe how quiet and smooth it was; in fact, I could hear the internal fan more than anything else, which I know moves more air than the stock motor. I'll definitely buy another to have on hand as a backup. You can't beat the price, so we'll just go crawling and see how it goes.

In my Ruckus, it works great! I mostly drive my Ruckus 2WD around my yard and over a few small obstacles
5/5

I prefer the extra power (even at a slower speed) to the 15T. If you don't need "super" speeds but still want some extra power in your cheap RC truck, this is the one to get - It was well worth it!.

It's fantastic! In my son's Redcat E-mail, I'm going to put this
5/5

It's a ten out of ten, and it really brings the truck to life! It works great and doesn't get too hot. If you ask me, it was well worth the money.

love it
5/5

I've got it installed in my Everest 10 build and I really like how fast and easy it crawls. I also got the rc4wd 20T, which is a lot faster but loses a little in the crawling department if you don't use throttle trim. This is a motor I strongly suggest.

A fantastic electric motor! One of my go-to electric motors for a variety of projects
4/5

It appeals to me because of its affordability and durability. It's simple to replace if it breaks down. This motor provides just enough torque to climb most things depending on how you're geared up, as well as a great speed for having some fun when you want to. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> These motors had to be found somewhere else! These have nearly doubled in price. Why is that? I'm baffled. For this price, I'll look into a Tekin 35t motor, as these axial motors aren't very good. What made them special was that they were inexpensive and performed admirably for the money.
