Looking to buy a Trinity Monster Maxx Motor - RC-Monster Forums

lincpimp · **Looking to buy a Trinity Monster Maxx Motor -** 12.05.2008, 01:40 AM

As the title says I am looking for a trinity 550 size brushed motor. Someone must have one laying around from the good ole' brushed emaxx days...

Looking for a decent 550 sized motor to go in my waterproof crawler. I am having issues with the sealed can 550 motors, the crappy brushes and springs just are not holding up. I would go with a regular 540 motor, but would like the extra torque to push the truck thru the water.

Any of the motors will do, mild, wild, or pro...

Thanks Guys!!!

I was working more towards another member here thinking " Wow, that lincpimp guy sure is a great addition to the forum, and I really enjoy his wit and incredible builds. If only there was a way I could show my appreciation... Wait a minute, I have a trinity monster maxx motor just sitting around. I am sure that linc would find a good use for it, and I could send it to him if he paid the shipping..."

Not sure if we have members quite as strange as that (jayjay, tdc...) but I figured that I would ask...

Hey, if you don't ask you don't get, right?!?!?!

Thought about a cheap integy motor? They give decent power.

I am looking for a rebuildable design with about 20 turns. Running 2s lipo and looking to gear the truck about 18/83. That gives me decent wheel speed and I figured the 550 would provide a bit more torque.

I have some nicer ones around 20 turns, but they are nice enough that I wouldn't recommend ruining it in the water. Good luck finding a decent cheap 550, seems they are hard to find nowadays.

Does it have to be rebuildable? Something like a power drill 550 or 650 size motor would probably have the torque you want, yet be cheap enough to replace since water will definitely be in the equation. Dunno otherwise.

The issue I had with the sealed endbell motor was that the brushes were coming loose of the leaf springs. The design was very poor, the brush was just press fit into the spring. I wanted the rebuildable design cause the brush alignemnt method looks much stronger and the springs are better too. Plus if I wear it out I can true the com and replace the brushes. Only issue is that my comm lathe will only do 540 armatures, so maybe i should stick with 540 motors.

i had some of these on my emaxx, and they worked real well. totally waterproof haha. i ran them suckers sooooo hard, temps musta gone over 220 multiple times, and they still work. for the price, i wouldnt care too much about it. i ran them on two 7 cell packs with no problems.

lincpimp, did you round up some motors yet? Are you looking for one or two? I believe I still have some new in the pack Trinitys in the basement, but I'll have to look for sure. I know I bought both mild and wild years ago and I don't recall using the one set.
