I bought this motor the second I got the email that it existed and unlike the other reviewer, I actually had a very positive experience. Its not crazy brushless fast, but it provides a nice boost of power that you can actually use. I've run 3 battery packs through it so far and haven't had any issues. Make sure to put a little CA glue inside the pinion when you put it on the new motor and just drop it right in for a nice performance increase. I usually race my brushless Micro B, but I think I'm going to race the buggy that I popped the Ecopower motor into instead this weekend. Based on my experience on my home track, I think it will be fast enough to keep up with the brushless cars. I'll update my review if that turns out NOT to be true, or if I have any issues like the other reviewer.
Do not buy......it will let you down. I was one of the first to buy this motor when it first came out. I thought moving from the stock 65t to a 45t motor was going to give me the speed that I needed in the straights for when I go racing on a weekly basis. It was actually slower and I was (on average) 3 seconds a lap slower than I was with my stock motor in my Micro B. Secondly, yes, it was plug and play but completely failed on me in the middle of my second race (1 hour cool down in between my heats so plenty of time to cool down. It just stopped working. I thought that my battery ran out (but it wasn't since my lipo still had a 77% charge) but the motor was stupidity hot and just not working, zero throttle response. I can not warn you enough.
As others have said, does not last. It smelled like it was burning and stopped working after 2 packs.
Great motor! I saw so many bad reviews on it blowing. So I decided to do a break in, let it run without load for about 10 minutes at about 10% throttle. I’ve now run probably 15-20 battery packs through it, and holding up well. It does run hot, my temp gun has said around 150 F after a 7 minute race. But I love it! Adds very noticeable acceleration and top speed for what, $11??? Why go brushless? No need on my track and we run 5’ wide lanes, 34m distance on a 20x30 track.
Burnt out after 3-4 battery packs. Was a lot faster than the stock motor though.
Reviewers are sharply divided on the EcoPower 45T brushed motor for Losi Micro-B and Micro-T. Most agree it gives a noticeable gain in speed and acceleration over the stock motor and fits and runs plug and play. The main recurring problem is overheating and early failure, with many reports of motors burning out or stopping after one to four battery packs, sometimes within minutes. A few owners report long service after a break-in procedure, and one reports good durability with a refund on an early failure. Several reviewers note the included nylon pinion is weak and recommend a metal pinion or adhesive. Reviews are mixed on value, with some calling it worth the low price and others advising against purchase.
