Orion Element 19T Motor/ Will it smoke my gears?

[Jim Mullen]

Hi All,

Just jumping back into RC cars and I picked up a new Super Hornet. Before I
get flamed for buying this or anything I had one 12 ago, I'm sure the
technology has gone far past this car but I figured starting with something
I know while getting back into the hobby would help. OK with that said, has
anyone put this motor in a super hornet? Can my gears handle it?
Thanks alot
Jim Mullen

What's the worst that could happen? You might have to get new brushes
and have the comm cut again.

Go for it.

Smoke them if you have them.

Wow, this is where I get lost. The comm cut? When I was in the hobby you
never took apart the motor. Now it seems its a must.
