Hello
I have a few Ninco classics which have NC5 motors in them. I would like to be able to swap these out and put an NC1/8 class motor in them so I can race them. (Well ok drive them during a race :)) The price of the Ninco s is a bit much so I am searching for a less expensive motor.
I notice that some people are using the BWA motor but these are no longer available.
I have had a bit of a look on the slot car news motor site and found the following info
NINCO NC-1 (FC-130) tested 12,858-14,237 RPM /12v, tested 77gcm/12v, tested 2.6W/12v
NINCO NC-8 (FK-130) tested 13,370/12v w/inductor, 13,635 w/o inductor tested 75 gcm/12v w/inductor, 84 gcm/12v w/o inductor
BWA BWNC1 (FC-130) tested 13,832-14,315 RPM/12v tested 110-115 gcm/12v, 3.9W/12v
So from this it would seem the BWA and NC-8 have few more revs and a little more torque but the target range is < 14.5k and <120gcm of torque.
Looking at the list for alternative motors - I have found the following:
JWL/JJ Slot 1/32 Car "red endbell" (FC-130) tested 14,120 RPM/12v - http://www.jwlslotcars.net/jwlmotors.html $5 each + postage - quality unknown
M/T Racing M/T-1 (FC-130) tested 13,253-13,817 RPM/12v, tested 90-101 gcm/12v, tested 3.1-3.3W/12v
http://derbycityspeedway.com/mt%20racin ... 0page.html $7.50 + postage - quality unknown but made to order as a NC1 replacement.
BWA may produce the motors again there has been talk on the forums about this happening.
Anyone else suggest any other alternatives ?
H&R racing has a 14k motor but testing put it over 15k
H&R Racing Jack Rabbit Motor (FC-130) 14,000 RPM/12v, tested 15,364 RPM/12v
tested 146 gcm/12v, tested 5.6W/12v
Perhaps If we can find a suitable (inexpensive) motor maybe this can be added to approved list for the class?
cheers
