These are awesome!

Well, after going nuts trying to find a cure, I have ordered two 3800kv 2040 Tacon motors. I have not been able to find ANY spur/pinion gears that will work with this system. I did use a duratrax...

I will definitely try that. What pitch is the exceed stuff? I know that most stuff seems to be a 48 pitch, but I haven't been able to find out what Exceed uses.
I did turn one truck into a 2wd...

I will probably do that, it would be the easiest fix, but that heat REALLY concerns me.
As for Pinions, where can I get a 2mm pinion? I see 2.3mm everywhere, but the 2mm seems to be harder to...

My sons have two Exceed Magnet trucks. Last year, we ran the stock motors with 1100 and 1200 MAh batteries. This year, I went with brushless motors and 2200 MAh 2S -Li-Po's. I have the charging...

I enjoy RC immensly! I was never able to afford hobby-grade when I was younger, but now I can, and with two young boys, it has been a BLAST getting them into it! I would love the freebies simply...

Anyone?? I would like to order some batteries and a charger, and I don't know what to get!

That sounds like what I will do. The other two are from my kids, and I think that the 5200KV will be better for them.
Now, which type of LiPo do I use?

I know that this subject gets beat like a dead horse on a regular basis. But, I haven't found the exact info that I am looking for, and I'm sure someone can answer it quickly.
We have three Exceed...

I have ordered 3 trucks from them, some spare parts, and am now using a Toro 5200KV combo from Hobbypartz.
I have had ZERO issues with them. Everything I have ordered has been correct, arrived...

Do you know where I might be able to get these parts then? I'd like a radio tray that is a little more firm.

I have one part that I would like to order, but I can't find it anywhere. It is listed in my manual as an upgrade part. What I am looking for is either the aluminum or carbon fiber radio tray. The...

I have a question on gearing. If a motor is designed to turn 32,000 RPM, how would a smaller pinion gear keep it cooler? It's still going to turn its max RPM, you just lose top end speed by doing so....

I'm currently running a 16tooth pinion and a 50 tooth spur gear, do I need to go lower for the 7800?
I'll get some pics up with video pretty soon, it's been dark every night I get home, but this...

I would go with the larger Tacon, but it's too long for my application. This is a 1/16th that runs a 380-size motor currently. I am really curious about the difference between the 5200 and 7800 kv...

I want to go brushless on my Magnet truck, and I noticed that there are a few options. Most people say to just use the 18A / 5200kv combo, but I can get it cheaper if I buy the 7800kv and 18A, or...

I found some!!
I had originally bought some HPI buggy style tires. They were just a hair too big for the Exceed wheel, and even with gluing I don't think that they would have held.
So, I headed...

Okay, I found some options, but now I am curious about how everyone gears their cars when they change tire diameter.
I found that the actual wheel (outside) diameter is 2.2 inches. This is the...

They are way too young to do any of the work themselves, but I figured by going 1/16th, as they get older, and if they stay interested, then I can move them up into the 1/10s and then the 1/8s.
(I...

Does anyone know if there are wheel and tire options available for these vehicles? I see that the wheel diameter is 2.7 inches, and after looking at the steering linkage, that's probably the smallest...

I just recently purchased a couple of Exceed RC Magnets for my kids, and while the speed is okay, I would like to step it up a bit without going brushless. I feel that brushless may be a little too...

This is the combo designed for the magnet:

You can get it for $8 cheaper if you buy the parts separately as well.

I just purchased 2...

You'll need to get the size of the motor. It says it's for 1/10 and 1/12 scale, so the motor is probably a 540. The magnet comes with a 380. A 370 size should fit as well (it's more common than the...

Well, I bought the two Target RCs from my coworkers for $40 (at the store, they are $60/each). Let's just say that at least I got some decent batteries out of the deal! One of the trucks is already...

Target has started selling a Monster XX (extreme) brand 1/16 for $60. I will warn you though that you WILL be replacing parts on them quickly. Two people I work with bought them, and after their...
