the other 12 size turnigy I have uses m1.4x5. Ill try and have a look and see

you would need a gyro a speed controller the motor and the right size prop for the motor and you might need a programing card for the speed controller and bullet connectors for the motor and the speed controller oh and you are right two wires to three dont work

Try to program your controller on short angle/low tiiming.

you ether have a bad connection between your motor wires or ether your speed controller or your motor is bad

yes of course

these will fit for the drone

It can take from 2 s to the 3s batteries. I running it with a 3D 500 mah and goes ballistic.

looks like 2s to me.

Are you EVER going to have this motor in stock again?????

It makes no difference what gear ratio you use. The motor is rated at 6A. So the end loading will depend on your prop pitch and diameter. You need an Amp meter to determine the operating load. trial and error.

 gutibulldog31 65 points

the smallest besc you can use is a 10 amps for being safe. This engine will draw from 6 to 7 amps no matter wich config you choose. Add the servos drain. I will suggest a turnigy plush 10 amps and it´s wheight of 9 grs can be reduced to about 6 grs changing wires and removing heatshrink.

gutibulldog31: No, config matters very much. The motor is rated for 6 amps, therefore you need to adjust your load accordingly, either by choosing the right gear ratio or prop size, If you put too big a prop, or have too high a gear ratio, the motor will draw more amps than it is designed for and overheat. This is done as adamg suggests, using an amp meter and trial and error, however, gear ratio does matter. The goal is to find the appropriate gear ratio/prop size in combination. To a certain extent, you can compensate for one with the other. For example, if you are drawing too much power (amps are too high) you can use a lower gear ratio or a lower pitch or smaller diameter prop. Going back to orcasea's original question, there is no way to answer that question, because we would have to know what prop you are running, however, even if we knew that, the chances of someone having the exact same configuration as you have is unlikely, so you would have to go back to adamg's suggestion of trial and error.

You will need to drill new mount holes and grind down the switch housing mounting tabs on the bottom of the chasis but other wise it will work.

yes it will fit but it requires allot of modifying to the motor mount so it can be done but it is allot of work to do it i would suggest paying more and get the motor that is built for the micro t

 Doug 98 points

Yes, this motor should fit, however, as suggested, you will need to modify the motor mount and chassis, however, I disagree with richard, as these modifications should take less than an hour and it saves to a heck of a lot of money compared with the losi upgrade. However, this motor is a lot more powerful than the stock motor, and you will find that you strip a lot of hears. (actually, they melt in my truck) Another motor that might work better, and go faster, is the Turnigy 1220 Brushless Inrunner Motor 10300kv. This motor is shorter in length, and may require less modification. I used this in my losi micto SCT, and it's a rocket, however, be careful, because it will heat up a lot if you don't choose a low enough gear. You should start with the smallest pinion gear available and monitor the heat... if it doesn't get very hot, move up to the next size. Also the Turnigy 1230 Brushless Inrunner Motor 4500kv is very similar to the BL1230. Also, is your rc car already brushless? If not, you may need a bunch more parts like a speed controller, and possibly tx/rx, and steering servo.

i run mine on a three cell with a 10 amp speed controller and it doen fine but you might want to get a heat sink for it because it can get a little hot

 Doug 98 points

theoretically you should be able to run just about as many cells as you want, if you can control you power draw. You just need to choose the right prop/gear ratio, and keep the draw under 6 amps... whether or not the necessary gearing and prop combo is available could be another story, however if it is, you can usually achieve better efficiency with more cells.

 Richard 9 points

you should be getting more thrust than that you might have a bad motor but before you get another one try a 5by3 prop or a 5by4 prop thats what i run on mine

 Richard 9 points

i run my motor an a three cell with a 5by4 prop and that works pretty good so you should try a 5by3 prop or a 5 by4 prop if that doesnt help then get a different motor because this one might not be the best one for running on a 2 cell

This is in stock now.. grab it while you can. thanks
