Losi Micro B/T motor thoughts?

[PaPa K]

Have 2 Micro Ts, and a Micro B and wanted a spare motor for the parts kit, not one Losi motor available until 12/25?? Other suitable replacements?

Spectrum, eco power, castle, and furitek options here. You got a prefered kv?

Variety of options out there. I thought a while back Moforc did a demo with a 030 motor but now I can't that info. I can't find anything except the 050 (which requires mods) recommended on the site. I do see there are 030 buzzsaw x series available which may work as a get by. Although the buzzsaw x series says works better with a different ESC. Or Injora has 45 turn motors that supposedly work. I don't have any direct experience of course! Been hoping for a sale. Might end up just buying one just because. But that doesn't stop me from window shopping for hop up parts Good luck!

Thanks guys. Not ready for brushless on these at this point. Losi OEM got solid reviews, but there is a long wait. Will keep reading reviews on the third party options, some seem ok, others get dinged for short lives. Open to options as I would like to have a spare. Thanks

Its just a 030 motor. A 050 crawler motor with about 50 turns would be a beast. Mofo RC has them but so does Holmes hobbies for cheap.

Get the big one

Thanks @TeknoJ , I had wondered if a 50 would fit w/o hacking up the chassis, good info. A little more grunt would be fun, really thought brushless might be out of control for my skill level

Its just a longer can motor. You will have to use your pinion.
How many turns is the stock motor?

The stocker is a 65t motor according to Losi. Pinion should be no problem if shafts are the same diameter. Any favorites in that size?

There should be a sticker on the motor that says it’s turn count. You may have to remove it.
I know injora and eco make a replacement but reviews have said they burn up. Those guys did not “run in” the motor though.

I'd be curious to see how a 050 motor fits. Moforc show notching the right outside frame to make his setup work

The thread I was thinking of. Little bit of an old thread but it has the YouTube link to moforc testing his 030 motor as well as other info I found interesting

I’m not sure, with out having one to look at I couldn’t say. The 050 is a longer can so it’s possible something has to be notched.
They have a 030 that would be a drop in. It’s the same motor size as an scx24.

Thanks for the links @Burnzone , good info. Going to order a scx24 66t to try. Not sure I could keep a brushless setup headed in the right direction just yet.

I think you want a few less turns on that motor preferably.

The mini jrx2 is a solid choice. https://www.amazon.com/Spektrum-Firma-Choice-Brushed-SPMXSM5100/dp/B0B844K8FB/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=3BWOB9YZQXVVP&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.PTGiYk2piie6m0SpM4wU4qCQlJ8PxEDo0tCJ7BW7HYtlfSBOJRLYXVn02vWYdK7pPbcydb839GeXFD_lM9o5d94MkVyolU799_eh3PFR_fLT2c0dRhyjzr4SKuDtpXIqmzn7rjLC6P7lwYKOI_bhxljIM7V98Pb99r2tjefHi9_b8vPKDlx1i1HVGHxsQtusx5xe1vrzN31ubL3e19Aimg.JuFx9xi4td8teLxP94nVxi5J1PuB0qwGbcQswjNjI20&dib_tag=se&keywords=losi+280+motor&qid=1764783028&sprefix=losi+280+motor,aps,109&sr=8-3
Supposed to be a little faster than the stock mini motor, and stays brushed

Thanks @Ritz413 that looks like a solid choice.

Jus a little bit of notching, nothing wild, took two minutes.
