new motor brushless
 

im going to need a new one any good ideas on what is good thanks

Nosram Pure, LRP X12 (Same motors), New GM, Speed Passion V3 or Novak Ballistic.

You wont go far wrong with any of these :thumbsup:

Any - just remember to oil the bearings occasionally - just like I didn't :cry:

Do we need to oil our brushless motor bearings? first i heard of this

hi, i did but the thread moved.
any way the losi brushless is as good as any i will be going back to them soon, but at less than 58 pounds its alot cheaper(and we have them).
ed

is that what it was in the end ???
i also did not know this had to be done:confused:

My Novak 13.5's done 100+ race meetings in 2 years without being oiled. I'll be dammed if I'm going to start now :p

The new v2 Gm 13.5 is nice, MW have them in stock too I think they are £69.99

Well I didn't think it was necessary - but had the rear bearing sieze in my 13.5 Novak on Sunday - melted the "endbell" with the sensor plate et al......not a pretty site when you pull the rotor out and have all the gubbins at the tail end of the motor come along for the ride......:cry:

i would steer clear of the x12 for forcc it just has to much bottom end grunt its a proper wheel spin monster.

and as for bearing what are you like remind me never to buy a second hand motor from anybody up the club.

lol yep going for new ;-)

I dunno, made me smile:p

It was a motor I'd had from new that failed. I just bought a second hand motor from someone at the club and it seems fine - or it did on Wednesday :thumbsup: Good when I can't afford £60 - £80 on a new one.

I remember when stock motors were £12!!!

Yeah I could tell by the glint in your one good eye :p
