Hey,

   Does someone still make Reverse Rotation "STOCK" Racing Electric Motors?
Used to be able to Get it in Trinity's Midnight but I can't find it anywhere
and the news models don't seem to come in counter rotation models. It is for
my Clod Buster.

Also, does anyone know if these "STOCK" racing motors can take 16.8 Volts?

Never heard of a reversed stock motor, but Kyosho has standard and
reversed versions of their "Magnetic Mayhem". It's a 22-turn motor
made specifically for monster trucks, and cheap at about $20 each.

Or you could get a modified motor and reverse it yourself.

Heavens no. The only 540-sized motors that handle that kind of voltage
are aircraft motors.

I am glad you mentioned aircraft motors,I was thinking the same when he
mentioned that voltage.I used to rewind fuelpump motors that where at
this excact voltage rating.
Be warned reversing a fuel pump motor could be voliatle.Maybe this is a
terrorist enquiry????

Nobody makes a competitive racing reverse rotation stock motor anymore since
the oval market has really died off, and the left side motors never seemed
to really catch on. You can get two 19 turn motors with adjustable timing
though and just reverse the endbell on one of them. 16.8 volts to any motor
will cook it pretty quick, but if set it up so 7 cells go to one motor and 7
cells to the other, you will be fine.

Also, if you use 14 cells, make sure your speed control can handle it.
