Sammy with MontroseSLOT IT 2020 Motors
MX16 = white endbell replacement for the orange (21.5k) and dark-orange (23k) motors
2017 used the same model/part#.
New models have a tatoo or engraving indicating 23k or 21k (MX15) speed.
(NOTE NSR motors have included a fairly robust tatoo under the foil for years. resistant to oils and Vodoo juice.)
Slot.IT seems to have stopped offering a ‘two ended’ motor.Common specs: 23k RPM, 170g torque @12v, about 5g more torque than the older light-orange 21.5 models.
MX16 = Endbell drive, so for all small-can Inline applications with modern pods.
%In the catalog it appears as a Double-ended motor but on retailer’s sites it appears to only have a long shaft on the endbell side%
MX16-M = Can drive, for many sidewinder applications. Bell drive pods are still available.Black Endbell: MX15
This is the OEM motor in the DTM cars. 21k RPM, 150g torque @12v
Double-ended (long shaft on both can and end-bell)
Same specs and model# as 2017 catalog.MX17 = 29k 150g tq ~ replaces the old Red end-bell (now white).
25k Yellow end-bell seems to only be available as NOS from retailers. Never seemed as reliable as the NSR 25k anyhow.
** Long-can/Boxer motors have not changed.

Sammy with MontroseI know costs are tight, but if we move in this direction, I suggest we replace the Pyramid with a better power supply. Digitial, max of 20 or 30 volts, 10amps. This may prevent ‘drops’ we typically experience when everyone is on, and then the surge when two people de-slot.

Sammy with MontroseI podium-ed in Silver in LMP two weeks ago, Bronze in LMP last Saturday night. But the two-race-old 0.005 body is shot and it’s probably time to swap out the sealed Hawk-7 LOL.
On Monday I was off so I re-wired my Koford controller with larger and longer leads from the blast transistor to the control handle; with the intent of reducing the risk of de-clipping from the power-posts and have more room to move away from the drivers-station.
