GLOBACTRC Motor 550 12T Brushed Motor for 1/10 Slash ARRMA Granite Senton Axial Redcat HSP HPI Wltoys Kyosho

Bought this motor to replace the stock motor on my WL toys 4x4 race car (the purple one). The gear case on my car needed to be modified to accommodate a slightly longer pinion gear rod but it was an easy mod. Once installed, I was immediately impressed with its quiet speed and added torque. My car has never run better! Even with a 21 turn motor, I got my car close to 20mph out the gate.It’s been driving well for about a month with 0 issues.I highly recommend it!!

I bought this for my Arrma Granite Voltage after the original motor got too hot and melted the chassis. (I had to replace that as well, ARRMA AR320382 Chassis Set)Between the original brushed motor and this new brushed motor I learned that brushed motors need a 'break in' procedure before use to ensure the best performance and lifetime. (and to keep them from overheating and melting the chassis)I went with the wet method. You actually completely submerge the motor in water, preferably distilled, and run it at about 20% for several minutes. This wears the flat surface off the brushes, making them concave so they make full contact with the armature while keeping the brushes cool and the armature contacts clean.The truck runs very smooth now and we're getting very good battery life.

This motor is not as fast as a titan despite how it's advertised or what the font on it would suggest, great motor otherwise, good for your kid or something that burns up alot of motors bashing and you want a cheaper alternative that is close-ish, competition use wouldn't recommend, I still have mine but it's the third option spare

I bought about 6 of these motors so far, and only one has failed, I buy cheap motors and swap them out from me using my holmes hobby motors, so preventing me of destroying a more expensive motor. I use these motors when going out on mud and river runs. Even though they are cheap, I still do maints on them after we are done for the day. I spray WD-40 into the more, and I do mean I soak the heck out of them. Then when at home I take them out, stick them in a bucket of water connected to a battery with a on/off switch, to get the dirt and mud out. Then soak them down in WD-40 again, and just let it sit till next use. The one that failed... well lets just say, I got lazy and didnt do my maints like I should and the bearings seized up. I have bought I think 2 of the 12ts, 2 of the 21ts, 1 of the 29ts and 1 of the 35ts. They may be a knock offs of the Titans Traxxas motors, but they do well for being very cheap. Rather destroy these than my HH's motors. I use these in my TRX-4 Sport, Gen8 and Gen7. Great buy for destruction.

I saw this motor as a good opportunity to upgrade my car to a better engine, everything else was upgraded but the motor. I checked the restrictions on both the ESC and the motor to see if they were compatible. Everything seemed to fit in place. I run it for 30 seconds, and think "wow, this runs so much faster than before, I'm super happy!" And then I had to leave to go get some things, and I try it two days later, and the performance is 2x worse than the motor I had before it. Not only that, after running it for about a minute of this thing going about 10 miles an hour in disappointment (guesstimating), I go and grab it, only to smell something burning, and the smell was coming from the inside of the motor. Am returning the product for a refund after I go to my local hobby shop for another motor.

Works good so far

First thing I put it in was my stampede with a stock transmission. The size I purchased is a 21t. I used a 2s battery and would pull a 40ft before the wheels came down on a full throttle pull launch. I was working on feathering the throttle and seeing how far I could ride a wheelie when I chewed a bunch of teeth off a gear in the trans, most likely I didn't tighten down the motor enough, It's a very snappy motor. After withdrawals set in I switched all my goodies to a tamiya lunchbox also stock transmission. In that setup It's pretty good neither fast or slow does great on the street and decent in grass. I did the water beak in technique and have had session where I'll run 10000mah thru it and it barely heats up. If something happened to this motor I surely buy another.

I bought this thinking I had read it was a direct replacement for the motor in the 144001, my mistake. In order to fit the motor you will need to shorten the motor shaft and grind or file the flat key portion of the shaft back towards the motor in order to accommodate the pinion gear. After I installed it I broke the motor in by running it at slow/moderate speed for about 30 minutes. IMO this motor has to much power for the 144001 but its loads of fun! On any slippery surface the car is uncontrollable at full throttle. I had to reduce my throttle trim just to get the car to drive in a straight line. If you have the tools needed to make these minor modifications I would highly recommend this motor!
