TOPIC:

As I reported in another topic a couple of months ago, this lovely collection of motors showed up on my doorstep:


One does not need any particular reason to buy a bunch of great motors, but at some point I need to decide what to actually do with them. I have a backlog of re-re's and other models to build, and I am trying to form a plan. The pink Acto-Power will go into the Dyna Storm which will free up the other mystery pink motor that comes with that kit. The Dyna-Tech 01R will go into the Egress and the Dyna-Tech 02H will go into the Super Astute.

I'm not sure where to put the two Dyna-Run motors. These came out after the First 100, so it doesn't seem right to put them into a classic model. What would be a good home for them? Touring cars or light buggies seem the most logical, but I don't want to break anything by over powering it. All my cars are runners so it has to actually work.

That mystery pink motor from the Dyna Storm will also need a home. I'm assuming it would go well in almost any buggy. The TRF201XR I still need to build will probably get a brushless system.

Then there are the motors I don't yet have. I have a Bigwig to build and it should really get a TechniGold. The Supershot should get a TechniPower. Now I just need to find those motors!

The black dyna should be ok in a ta02 and the silver in a ta03.

For TA-02 I've got the 40th anniversary Porsche 934 (Jager) and the Lancia 037 Rally. I don't want to overpower the Porsche and risk damaging it; it is too special. Maybe I'll try the black Dyna in the Lancia. I don't have any TA-03s at the moment. The 30th anniversary Porsche 934 (Vaillant) is a TA-05, but again I don't want to risk it. I've got a couple of TBs but they are already brushless. Hmm. The silver Dyna is a pretty hot motor if I am understanding right.

Edit: Looks like I had that backwards. The black motor is the hot one at 13 turns. The silver is 20 turns.

You can maybe trim the motor to have less power. Or lower the gas command

Help me decide where to put these motors

I wanna help you out here, So feel free to walk them down in a box with my details on it and put it in one of these

To pair your new engines with the appropriate car, easiest would be using a visual representation of your car selection together with your motors and their respective turns. What car could do with a powerfull motor.

Personally I always install the stock 540-motor in all new kits, I test-run the vehicle, and then if it is a type that can go fast (like the TT-chassis), I have an arsenal of brushless 540-motors that if they physically fit, are installed.

That's excellent advice. I also generally start with a silver can in everything. You can find a list of all my cars, both built and unbuilt, here . I'd prefer to put the Dyna-Run's in something I haven't built yet, but I am not opposed to going back and swapping them into something I've already built.

I will keep that in mind for Plan B.

I'm browsing your webpage here www.technicopedia.com/RC and I must say that you are one badword of a tech-dude. Removing the "RC" from the link I see more awesome stuff, lego builds and robots and stuff, and you have so many cars!! You need a large museum for your exhibition.

.. and your Pajero is awesome. I recently bought a Pajero body for my CC01, I'm not yet sure what color I want it to be, perhaps purple like yours.

Maybe a dark metal blue side band and silver/ champagne on the rest of the car

Hmm.. really? OK, I will consider it, only because you are french.
