180 Motor.

[Lowrideit]

So I was looking for 180 Torge Motors, And I know that you need too really Modify the Motor cradle, Can someone post up a few pictures, I wanna put one in my car, and I wanna see exactly how bad it is. and How hard.

Thanks in advance.

To put a 180 torque motor you have to have really small tires or a wide axel tut. That is all i know hope this helps.

If you don't want the tires that far out cut the axel stub above the notch thing and put two or more(depends on what your doing/style) 3rd gear unit bushings or the center drive shaft bushings and glue them in between the cut axel stub.

I am doing this for my super swamper tires on my crawler. I might have a tut when i do it. It is a lot easeir than it looks.

Okay, thanks.

Its real easy. If your talking about the evo truck, you just gotta shave the rear end. heres what u have to shave in red:

But then, it might rub at the tire since its longer than a 130. But greate motor for bashing.

Hope that help.

[c1v1c]

Yes you can Its slighty longerr than a 130(normal xmod motor)

I know this is off topic but c1v1c what xmod is that it looks way awsome and I would love to see more pics of it.

I tried to extend the stock truck wheelbase But i gave up...my setup wasnt strong enought. I have a thread on here look for it.

Continuing the off-topic...

If I have the wide axle tut done, the 180 motor would fit if I cut the back of the motor cradle a bit? Where do I cut it?

How much more speed does it have? I'm just looking for balenced speed and torque, but more torque.

Just shave down the corner of it like this


I kinda repeat myself but this picture might be a bit clearer.

Thanks, now anyone know about my second question?

The speed shouldn't be too much less than a stock gen1 motor...
But the torque increase should be very visible.
It depends what type of batts you're running, that makes a lot of difference in speed.
