Okay, thanks. Most motors say 6-9.6V anyway but this one didn't get specified at all. Just wanted to check. :y:
I can understand a voltage that's too high would be more problematic.

:) I know too that a basic 380 can run under 12/14 Vdc. I have a 380 in my lghts washer pump on the C4 ;)

:evil:

Think you gotta have the right 380 for it though, otherwise some vaporisation may occur...

RS-380PH
RS-380SH

Under load, there will probably always be a minimum recommended voltage for the motor to not stall.
I reckon every spec will go down by 1/6 if you run a 6V pack.

:laugh: The 380 is undestructible. I dismantle the pump to relive it and I discovered a big rust packet not a motor. 3in 1 oïl and water in it and let's go it reruned. :blink:

Almost ten years in the back of my mind and now a huge step closer to the ultimate Street Hopper...
Dyna Blaster rims in the house!

TGX tyres are great (radials especially) but may be harder to find than the Street Rover's.

I think you may be right... they look similar (or exactly the same?) but have different part numbers. :huh:
