Hi All, I have built a fast car with 2 x RC Buggy motors but would like to make it even faster if possible. So I was wondering if I can change the "inside" of the buggy motor. I know Philo's page where he compares motors:

BUT!! I checked eBay and there a few Nichibo motors that are exactly the same size and seem to be quite fast but compared to what Philo meаsured they seem to be quite weak:

Can please someone tell me if this motor will be more or less quick/powerful then the original motor? Philo maybe?

Here is my MOC:

Thanks very very much!!

I honestly have no idea if the motors you are talking about are more or less powerful. It's hard to compare, because of the fact that Philo was measuring all the metrics from the complete motor, with gearbox and everything. But, if you want to go faster, I'd recommend not destroying the rare and valuable 5292 buggy motors, and modifying some other PF motors instead.

Here are two threads discussing modifying motors and stuff:

i don't like To modify motors, And I Think you shouldn't because 3rd part motors couldn't be supported from electronics And The non-proportional lego remote Will make your mocs rally uncontrollable if you want To have fun i recommend To you to use modrllistics electronic with a good esc And find a Way To put normal servos into lego crration, with an 11.1 lipo battery RC motor results really fast, this was My try but in you acheive To make valuable modified motors please tell us how you did :3

Thank you so much for the links - the first one is exactly what I needed. Will post in this thread in a second :)

I already use standard 2.4Ghz system (actually the same FlySky as the guy with the LeMans car), RC servo and 3S LiPo and run the motors on 14 volts - but still getting only something like 26km/h :)

Thank you very much!!!

But still - if someone can answer the question about RPMs of Lego 5292 motor - please post!

Thank you!

Only 26kmh... hehe you funny.

Hehe.. after a while you get used to.. I want 40! :)
