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

Works great plug and play no issues

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 put it into my Kyosho Outlaw Rampage. It's super torque-y but not to the extent where I would spin out off the line. Powered by a CC Sidewinder SCT on 2S. I could push 3S but then I would have to mess with gearing which I hate, too much on and off parts. So far after 3 battery packs(all 5000mah) this thing is still rocking. I am not sure how people burn out the motor on first use or just 1 battery pack they don't seem to say what battery they were using nor what gears they had in their R/Cs or which chassis type. If you throw this into a short course truck don't hope it can be powered by a 3s with just any gearing. There is the breaking in a brushed motor thing too, but I never did so on any of my brushed motors. IMHO you only do so when you plan to race the motor, all my brushed motors are broken in with just regular driving and bashing I have never had any issues not breaking them in. This motor is worth it's price, there is no such thing as a permanent solution on brushed motors this however could be a long term thus only 4 stars let's see if this will last me 1 year at least. I do doubt it because it's brushed, I had burned many brushed motors even brushless but that was my mistake of running it too hot or wrong gearing.

Good strong motor for the price.

The motor is very loud! But has great power and didn't let the smoke out.

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.

Worked great. Tons of torque. Great top end. Lasted 30 mins after 10 mins break in. Cooked itself and locked up.

As mentioned, the motor made horrible noises right away. Ran a break in cycle and hit the track. Noticed it didn't have much top end overall but it would kick in every now and again. Ran through practice and let it cool. Went out for the main and within less than 7 minutes (15 minute main) it still drove but with half the power. Brushes burned all the way through. Don't waste your money. I simply bought it to test and it failed miserably.
