vis motors make me cry!!!

morning dudes... well after fixing my balance vis inc running 2 new wires because 2 tracks on the board had burnt out I felt the.. well actually its what I didnt feel thats annoying me so I'm thinking that either my soldering has failed.. very poss.. or the dam motor has finally died which after draining a fair bit of oil out of the casing i can also see happening.

Sooo I'm gonna start looking for brushless motors after something jay mentioned.. there are a really good model shops round me so thats where im off to this afternoon but there is a slight problem, I dont have any details on the motor does anyone have one or know the details so i can get things started. If I find one i will post the results so we can solve another of the problems.

I might be able to get hold of a couple of vis motors. Not sure if they are working - but you'd be welcome to them in the short term.

I'll keep you posted. All depends on a little request I've made at work.

cheers dude.. I have a spare that works Im just not up for fitting it if its just gonna fail in a few weeks/months, looking for a long term fix because its becoming a right ball ache. Im mainly after the number on the top and dimensions. But cheers anyway dude.

I done a lot of research I to these motors before, to cut a long story short Johnson electric who make the motors will not sell to the public, they are priced at ?25 each!

lawrence-zs180 · 11-10-10, 12:26 PM

would it be poss to change it over for a smaller brushless because of the gained power due to it being brushless?... even though they start at ?19 is it not worth it because rimmers want a ton for a balance motor.. I think. Also my dad ownes a elec company so if needs be i could get a load and then you guys can get them off me.

I just removed the apparently harder motor, no issue lol

the numbers on it are different.

the middle number must be batch or unit number
