New motor for the mini guys

[Perkul8r]

Was looking through some of Holmes Hobbies motors yesterday and ran across this...A 380 sized Revolver. This should be awesome in a Mini crawler if its anything like the bigger ones. I have ordered one to see how it is. Just need to get an esc and servo for my truck now lol

Hmmm, a reason to build a new mini?

Looking forward to rolling it across the rocks, listening to the Revolver!

Thanks for posting! Just bought one!

I was already thinking about building another mini so this just kinda kicked me into doing it lol. I had to share it here as I know some people have been looking for motors and there aren't alot of options out there.

My interest in the minis just got rekindled a few days ago so I'm working on my son's Slickrock. Wheel wideners should be delivered today and then I need to install the Team Brood motor I bought for it months ago. May need to consider building another mini for myself soon! Nice to know HH has a good brushless for it.

I hope this works out well as I’ve tried two different brushless set ups on mine over the 8 plus years I’ve owned it and the drag brake never seems to match that of a brushed motor.

I know it wont be as powerful as the 540 size revolvers, but those have an amazing drag brake, so hopefully it will be good.

Outrunners have more poles than the inrunners.

I snagged one and a mamba micro x..

I'll report back when tested

DAYUMMMM!!!!!

That's Mini!

 

[Perkul8r]

That was my first thought when it showed up lol. Its so tiny lol. Hopefully your testing goes well. Really want this to be a good motor option...specially as I have one sitting here lol

I'm working on it!

Need to cut, solder, repin, some wires, once I figured out where it's all getting mounted.

I was just coming back to this thread to see if this motor "could" be used with the Sidewinder Micro V2. The Holmes page says to use it with the Micro X. I guess this pic answers my question.

Definitely don't want to try fitting the Micro X in a comp chassis. Just thinking about it reminds me of the Mongoose days.

Excited to see this, definitely will be ordering one

I got mine today....

I was concerned about the fact that this motor wires are all black. My castle micro sidewinder leads are white red and black...not sure which wire goes to witch lead.....the motor I am using now is brushed and I only use the red and black ones....not sure how to connect these wires to ESC

As long as your esc has 3 wire ports (indicating it's for brushless), it doesn't matter which wire gets plugged to which port when you're using a sensorless motor - they are all interchangeable.

Center wire to center wire. The outer wires can be swapped.

Agreed
Atleast how I remembered and am going to do it.

Very cool. Won't this thread the Losi MRC drivetrain?

That is the only way mine would work properly with and older castle micro sidewinder "thumbsup"
