The motor still lacks the torque of the 280. Let us not forget that the 280 has replaceable brushes. I am working on a new 280 for myself that should blow all of the 300 motors out of the water.

I will let you know the results soon.

Well...of course if money is not object..then, why waste the time with using a 280 motor...and just slap a BL motor in it!

When comparing motor....you have to keep the motor in the same price category.....otherwise we are talking about apple and oranges!

Its like saying that a BL motor will out perform the K3/Beast/Rabid motor...of course it will...but the price is not even close!

We are comparing a brushed motor to a brushed motor. Ball Bearing Motor to Ball bearing motor. and in the end we are comparing motors of nearly identical price points.

I don't see why you are concerned. I am building this motor for myself. As I said, it blows the 300 motors out of the water.

Intel, could you email me about the 280BB motor. I have some myself, and would love to see what these motors can do. (As you said, they cost a pretty penny)
Thanks

I would say a safe bet on the 300bb version is about 1-2 weeks to be ready for all customers.

Lemar,

Near identical price points? Then why did you say earlier: "The 6V 280BB motor is very promising the only issues that I have with them is their cost and longer can."

I just want to make sure that people reading this thread dont get the wrong impression that a 280bb Mod. Motor would be the same price..as the Modified 300's...thats all.

Everyone...enjoy the video.

I was referring to myself in that comment as I distinctly stated that cost was an issue for me. I am not one to go out and spend more than $10 for these motors. Like I said, near identical price points as I paid $32 for my 280 motor. The 280BB is more durable than any 300 motor out there and the brushes will last at least 3x longer.

what will the 300BB motor perform differently than the K-3? What will be the differences?

More effiecient, providing longer runtimes, and allowing us to tune the motor to a more precise degree for optimal torque and RPM settings!

How does the addition of bearings allow you to tune the motor to a "more precise degree?"

well, ball bearings for one, will eliminate that sqweeking sound that is associated with brushed motors of this size containing bushings. Ball bearings will decrease the frictional force and increase total eff. The bearings will also help to elongev. the motors life span and give the motor a more accurate fit and precision.
