"NC1" Slim Can?

[TsgtRet]

Since the MT/SL1 is no longer available has anyone found a 14k-ish slim can motor (at a reasonable price)? I really don't want to start buying electric toothbrushes at the dollar store!

The BWA slim can from darthobbies is about the closest to an NC1 that I know of.

And are hard to get here as more often than not, they don't ship. Last time took me 3 months.

I was hunting for the MT SL1 recently too. There isn't any contact information on Mark's new website, so I emailed SCC. They said they will be ordering more shortly, so hopefully that's still the case and we'll have an easy way to get them.

Mark, Can we bug you via the HRW PM system for these motors? I don't have or want a facebook page. Thanks.

I have no problems with that if the management doesn't .....

I am for helping the guys here. So go for it.

We have found that the BWA slim cans are a little poochie compared to other NC1 class motors, so if you are in a mixed race you won't keep up. Mark's M/T is a much better match.

Dr Vanskimdidma test on the motors a while back, on the Slot car blog News motor list and there isnt really a lot between them.
his tests revealed
MT1 FC 130. As tested. At 12 volts rpm range 13253 - 13817. GCM range 90 -101. And 3.1 to 3.3 w
BWA NC1 FC 130 " " "" " " " 13832 - 14702, " " 110 -115, " 3.9 w

Again these are as tested at 1w volts, not as advertised or on the wrappers. Ive yet to see even more expensive motors that are not as advertised .
It boils down to availability and price point in my parts bin

I have a scratch built Alfa Romeo that I've posted build pics of on the Honeycomb thread. It has a BWA 050 in a D3D super slim pod. It tied for first in class in the last U13 proxy and is currently running first in class in the Last Open Road proxy (Both of these proxies are reported on SCI) I find if you gear them right you can make a winner. Mine is geared, I think, 9 on the pinion and 24 on the crown. Even though 050 motors as a rule don't have much torque, these ones seem good.

I haven't done a straight test between the M/T and BWA, but Robert has.

Robert Livingston's Motor list tests them as follows:

BWA BWMS050 (FF-050) tested 14,145-14,702 RPM/12v tested 63-71 gcm/12v, 2.4W/12v

M/T Racing M/T SL-1 (FF-050) 14,702 RPM/12v, tested 13,465-13,805 RPM/12v tested 77 gcm/12v, tested 2.6W/12v

If we assume this is a result across the batch, the BWA tested a bit faster, but a bit less torque and horsepower than the M/T.

Cheers,

Just to let everyone know, all I have available are as follows. I have lost my great contact in Shenzhen, and I`m not willing to take that chance with someone new. I was lucky once, and it worked out in everyone's favor.

MT-1 - 1040 Units
M/T-SL1 - 720 Units
