Trinity motor and 1500 battery

[Paco Jones]

I just picked up a "Revenge of the Monster Horsepower Stock" motor and
dropped it into my Championship RC10 buggy (which is still running 1500
Sanyo batteries) and it won't turn! The electrics are fine (they work
for my old stock motor) and the battery is fully charged - is this a
case of 'time to upgrade'? I don't want to get a 3000 battery/charger
if that's not the problem... I just picked it up tonight and the hobby
shop is closed, I'll get a hold of them later this week, but this group
is (9 times out of 10) more helpful! :-)

Thanks all!
M.

BTW - just in case it's important:

I have LRP ESC's, and have found weird stuff can happen after you take
the leads off a motor. They are all one touch reset models and have made
a habit of doing a reset after everytime I remove the leads from a motor.

What ESC do you race with?

test engine direct on the battery.

I had reset the speed control when I first plugged it in and I know that
it's working because the steering is responsive, the speed control has a
green light and it works fine for another (older) stock motor. I tried
connecting the motor directly to the battery and it does a very brief
spin, then nothing (I tried five batteries, nothing after the first
brief spin for any of them!). The directions said that I didn't have to
do anything to the motor to break it in (it's the stock pro version) so
I think that it's back to the store I go for a replacement...

Any other suggestions are welcome:-)

Upon closer inspection, there is a brush spring missing... I hadn't
taken the motor apart since I bought it and am now wondering if somebody
else had troubles and returned it... Well, I'll talk with the shop and
hopefully get this resolved.

From what I understand though - there is no problem running a 1500
battery with a NEW Stock motor??

How about motor brushes, are they stuck in hoods?

None whatsoever. The difference between a 1500 and say a 2000 is that
the 2000 will hypothetically have more run time with the same motor.

with the 1500 you might get 6 minutes and with a 2000 you might get 8.5
to 9 minutes of run time.
