Need Help, Please!

Hello All, I am new to rc's and this forum. I just bought a used m18 and the pinon gear, set screw chewed into the motor shaft and now I need a new motor. I am trying to find out what motor I have now (I was told it's a speed 300, but It looks nothing like one).



I do not want this motor again, because it is slower than my stock MRS4 with a 8t pinion and 6v 5cell NiMh pack. I want to stay brushed with my new motor choice but everytime I find a motor I want to buy, It is discontinued or not in stock. I don't know what to get a speed 300 or a 370 motor.

Thanks
Josh

That is not a speed 300 at all, seems to be a coreless motor too me......


Take a look at these for an upgrade......

It would be hard to fit a 540 motor onto the M18 but yes it can be done, since there was a couple of people that have tried.....the links above are good motors in itself.......if you want a good motor thats at a good price then this is the one to get.....Speed 300 and T.O. BigBlock and of course this are rebranded Mabuchi motors.

Thanks Again. I think I am going to order the Associated LRP Fusion Motor for the M18 and The Team Orion Big Block Motor Set for the MRS4.

Cool man, glad that i was able to help.......you might want to also pick up a couple of the Venom motors as well, since you just cant beat the price.
