so many decades ago lol, 27 turn with 34 degree brush timing makes a Hornet pretty insane. racing back when it had to be 27 turn with 20 degrees at the brushes, it also had to have bushings not bearings. Hornet entry level stock class racing on a deep groomed soft dirt short course was always the most fun because they're a bit squirrely.
Steve! Not sure if you have seen it but I did a shout out to you in a short video of me jumping up a snow bank! I would leave the link but they usually go to spam!
Very cool. Great to see the Hornet bouncing around. Thanks for the clear installation tips and for your fishing line hack. I did it and it works a treat! Really grateful!
Hornet was my First Tamiya RC. I had a Reedy Modified motor in it. Traded in on a LunchBox when they came out. Put a Technagold in the LunchBox it was pretty much Undrivable
There’s not that many newer videos breaking in motors brushed motors for a lot of different reasons did you Break it in dry or wet I hear there's lots of ways to break in a motor. Thanks for sharing cool stuff interesting👍 I like brushed motors👍
Hi Man, I broke it in dry at 2V actually but three is ok also... under water method works great but you have to keep checking your brushes because they can wear down real fast under water you can't run them long like a dry motor break in. Thanks
@@ShenRC Hey thanks for the info I don’t have to search and search soon as the brushes are seated well to the armature you are finished with breaking I had two motors come in one broken factory store past one was not broken in factory past inspection lol I have broke it in already Using endpoints I went just above start up speed seems to be fine enjoy your day today thank you much
@@NCmountainsRUclipsChannel Hi I don't think no motors are pree broken in but they do come with rounded brushes on some that couture the come better but you always need to run a brushed motor at low voltage first for a while to properly seat the brushes to the come before using the motor making a load on it...if you don't do this the motor wont run as good or last as long because the brushes when not mated to the come good if not broken in will make arks and foul the com and cause it to get damaged and worn pre mature.
Hi bud it's a little over 5MPH faster than the stock silver can motor. it's nice for these hopper type chassis and lunch box type. Thanks for watching.
Hi Steve - I think I got the exact same motor off Amazon too! Not too bad for the money, but a decent speed increase all the same. Enjoyed watching you try it out dude! All the best from Mark... :)
Yes indeed, stock silver can 18MPH with the 21T 23.2MPH A perfect motor for the hoper chassis and probably the lunch box type also. Thanks for watching 👍
When I put the 21T in my Hopper, I ran it on the street using the same rear tyres as you did and I couldn't get it to full speed, it was wheel spinning at 3/4 throttle and I didn't feel in control of it. I didn't use the wd-40 trick though 👍🏼 I love the look of those rear tyres but yeah, disappointing off road. Great video 👊🏼
Hi you need to get a radiolink radio with the gyro receiver it makes the old cars so much better to drive it holds it in a straight line it's 100 times better. the WD40 does help though. if you search my channel for radiolink I did a test with the gyro in my sand scorcher showing it running with it turned off then on and the results are amazing,,,so good I got the receivers with gyros in my hornet and grasshopper now also. Thanks for watching.
@@ShenRC I actually recently got a gyro for my Flysky and my son's Dumbo RC. Just got them in the DT-02'S currently but great idea to have one in the Hopper. Although, I do like using the Hopper with the old Techniplus transmitter. Actually putting a video of it together now. I have the same tires as you used and in the words they were far from food lol. I should have put the Hornet rear tires on. 👍🏼
Hi that's a tamiya motor plate disc it blocks dirt from entering the gearbox and also insulates the motor from making it's heat go into the plastic. Hope this helps.
Are you speaking about the battery tray on the bottom of the car? I drilled a small hole in the tab on it and one directly above it in the chassis when it was on the chassis and I used piano wire made a small loop in one side pushed it through the battery holder tab and made the loop in the wire just big enough so it cant pull through the tab. then put it through the hole in the chassis marked how height I needed it to make another loop in the end that you can then slip the body clip through to hold the battery tray on the car. Hope you can understand this. Thanks
Don't forget Stewart Mac got twice that speed. In a hornet. Spike tires would have probably been better for the snow. I consider those tires a rally tire they're decent for off-road and they're good for on-road.
Yes I am not into super speed why I took the WLtoys 17T out of this buggy and put a new 21T in... these buggies are not good and are just about on the edge with standard tamiya silver can motor for the best balance and control of these hopper type buggies anything faster just disrupts it and makes them real bad to drive. Thanks for watching.
Stew Mac. I've seen his video and I'm dubious for a few reasons. Firstly he has his speed metre obscured with a cable tie. And it's damn impossible to see the display on his speed metre. Secondly the Hornet handles terribly at much lower speeds , so how did he get such a high speed and not crash during filming. Thirdly the car stew Mac was driving was never in view on film. All we could see as viewers was when stew Mac claims he reaches these speeds. But again it's downright impossible to see his speed metre. Steve here at Shen RC is absolutely trusted and a sincere genuine guy. Steve at Shen RC actually shoes us the speed metre and isn't making ridiculous claims like Stewart Mac. And I'm from Australia. I'm Australian so it's not me being unpatriotic to a fellow Aussie. We just can't see what speed Stewart Mac really achieved. I love your work Steve at Shen RC 👍👌💪
@@JimBoBJames-no5db I happen to know Steve Steve gave me my first hobby grade RC in a long time back in the day about 2018. So why don't you ask Stuart Mack to do it again to verify it better.
You know when I get mine you know I'm putting a GT tuned in there you're putting a faster one in there than me. Is the end Bell adjustable on this motor can you change the timing?
This motors fast I am using the gyro because without it it would really be hard to keep going straight. I have that GT tuned in my super hot shot I don't like it bad problems I had with it arcing up the com burning it up I had to take it apart and clean it and let it slow break in on like 1.5V for a hour to get it working again... to much $ and it's no better than a $13.99 motor.

Tell me about it, lucky I have the radiolink gyro system in this or it would have been in a ditch on the side of the road! LOL!! Thanks for wtching.
Really like the tip about how to get the Lock-tite in without getting it on the plastic!
Cool glad to help ya! Thanks
Great swap out mate-ran fantastic!-Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Steve! Not sure if you have seen it but I did a shout out to you in a short video of me jumping up a snow bank! I would leave the link but they usually go to spam!
I will check it out👍

Awesome and glad I could help you out. Thank you for watching.👍
That's really very impressive speed there Steve 👌👍
Thanks 👍

Yeah for sure you can't go to crazy with hop up motors in these they get out of control! Thanks for watching.
Most likely the fastest Hornet in town now👌
Thanks for sharing your tips n tricks, they will come in handy👍
Great video mate👍🦘🇦🇺
No problem 👍Thank you for watching and commenting.
Perfect speed for the hornet
Yes I think so too! Thanks PC!
Seems to work good
She rips now! Thanks bud!
Very good upgrade and great test run. Excellent video !!
Thank you very much!

@@ShenRC thank you thank you I’ll remember that👌👍
Hi, can you tell me the parameters of the gears installed in the motor?
Hi I don't understand what your asking, this buggy is 100%stock and you can't change gear ratio on this one. Thanks
Nice performance out of this budget motor 👍
Agreed! perfect for the hoppers and probably lunch box type chassis tamiyas. 👍
Seems like just the right amount of increased speed for off roading!
Nicely done Steve!👍😊
It's a bit hairy lucky I have the radiolink gyro in it or it would be a lot harder to control that's for sure. 😁👍
No idea what 23 mph is without a conversion 😅 but it looked like plenty of Hornet speed. Good motor, Steve.
Hi bud it's a little over 5MPH faster than the stock silver can motor. it's nice for these hopper type chassis and lunch box type. Thanks for watching.
It's about 37 kph. The 5 mph increase is an 8 kph increase, so a jump from 18 mph to 23 mph is equivalent to an increase from 29 kph to 37 kph.
Nice Video Mr Shen RC. I love the Tamiya kits...........
Nice drag strip, you should get a no prep, Ha Ha.........
Keep up the great work.
😁👍 Thank you

You do that's cool! it ran pretty darn good well worth the $. Thanks Mark
Looks like it has a nice turn of speed Steve. 😀👍

Cool little motor, might have to pick one up for my Comical Avante
O man it will fly with this motor probably will be crazy to drive for sure! Thank you
Love those motors! Sometimes you DO get more than you paid for. Several brand names sell suspiciously similar looking ones for 2-4x the price.
Yes I did notice that when shopping around. Thanks for watching👍
Great video 👍🏻🍻
Thank you! Cheers!👍

I enjoy remodeling my brother's Grasshopper in Japan, but it seems that the Tamiya hornet is also very popular overseas.
Yes popular and fun entry lever tamiya buggies. Thanks for watching.
I have one I'm restoring and it's missing parts. What is that disk (4:36) on the new motor for?
Hi that's a tamiya motor plate disc it blocks dirt from entering the gearbox and also insulates the motor from making it's heat go into the plastic. Hope this helps.
I'll have to add that to the restoration list, thank you kindly.
i putted a traxxas brushed motor in my luncbox and it goed to fast weelie even backflip at 2 s lipo haha
Yeah sometimes to fast is not to good! LOL!! Thanks for watching.
How have you kept the battery slip In place, did you put a long screw in and dremmel a space for the clip?
Are you speaking about the battery tray on the bottom of the car? I drilled a small hole in the tab on it and one directly above it in the chassis when it was on the chassis and I used piano wire made a small loop in one side pushed it through the battery holder tab and made the loop in the wire just big enough so it cant pull through the tab. then put it through the hole in the chassis marked how height I needed it to make another loop in the end that you can then slip the body clip through to hold the battery tray on the car.

Nice speed test this will fit in my lunch box 👍🏻
Hi yes it will fit like a beauty and make it run much faster than stock. 👍
Did you keep the stock ESC ??
Hi no I did not but you should be able to use the stock esc with a 21T motor. I use 20T motors with the kit esc's. Thanks
Bonjour est ce que si je mes un moteur tamyia sport tuned540 ça marchera bien ?
Hi yes the sport tuned will be a great hop uo over the stock 540 motor. Thanks for looking.
Not bad at all👍
Thank you it was a blast!!
👋
Seems like a perfect motor for that chassis, dont need more power/speed than that in a Hornet.
You got that right! Thanks for watching 👍
Nice increase in speed with the new 21t motor, what turn motor was the stock one on the Hornet?
Hi it comes with a stock tamiya silver can 27 turn motor. Thanks for watching👍
Mad van or traxxas Raptor 2wd , I'm so confused i can't make up my mind
Depends how you are going to run it, I like the mad van it is a great truck for the $ I don't think you can beat it.
@@ShenRC yes really appreciate my bro
Bonjour j’ai une question pourquoi ma voiture Hornet fait du bruit quand je roule sa fait un bruit pas comme le vôtre savez vous pourquoi ?
Hi it could be many things bad pinion gear bad bushings or bearings worn gears , needs to be greased?
@@ShenRC ça doit être le pinion car il a été abîmé il as des tranches pas droite
@@ShenRC merci de votre réponse
@@ShenRC est ce que ça vaut le coup d’installer un moteur brushless ??
@@spiti9149 Hi stock ones are no good you need a steel one the stock ones are soft and wear away quickly.
