Is there a way to speed up an electric motor used in ordinary RC toys?

[Battousai001]

Hi, I would like to ask is there a way to speed up an ordinary electric motor of an RC toy? (make the motor run faster than its stock speed)? the electric motor is very simple and ordinary and it is a stock motor from a very simple rc toy (not the hobbyist rc), I asked some hobby shops but they dont sell such ordinary electric motors for simple rc toys, they only sell stock motors too. So is there a way to make the motor run faster than its stock speed?

Increase the voltage.

You will shorten the life of the motor though.

the motor is limited by 3 factors
1. the strength of the magnets
2. the # of coils of wires
3. voltage

the easiest way would be to increase the voltage

Not in one of them simple toys. Everything goes through a small little circut board. He increases the voltage, just enough to get the slightest bit of extra speed, and he is likly to fry the toy completly.

Sorry OP without know what thinf toy is its a 99% sure bet that any adding of extra voltage is going to fry it. Your going to need to take a step forward into the rc field and get you a a real rc car from your local hobby shop. In doing so you will be able to do all kinds of stuff to it including adding more voltage, changing motors, gears, speed controllers, and pretty much everything is replaceable if it breaks.

Sorry, that toy is stuck at the speed it was desgined to do and no making it go faster for you

There are cheap alternatives to real RC cars like the $30 rock crawlers sold at Wal Mart etc.

Check this thread out: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33612

People increase performance by going from 4 to 6 batteries, among other things. Those cars are sweet because they have realistic axles, coil suspension with control arms, and even differentials. Also, they have proportional steering and throttle.

Well I have a RC truck that originally came with a 6v battery which sucked terribly because it took 12 hours to charge, I also had another RC car with the same battery plug (should anyways) that was 9v and took only 4 hours to charge. I took the 9v battery and used it in the '6v truck' and I have to say, the truck runs much better and faster than it ever did with the 6v battery. So there you go.

Nothing on those little circuit boards will be fried by a couple of extra volts. They're not exactly precision devices.

What I did on my brothers x-mods was put a crest toothbrush motor/magnet into it. Damn, what an increase.
