View Full Version : Fantom Racing - 2007
adamliehr 03-06-2007, 09:45 PM Hey guys I just wanted to get a thread going again for Jeff and Troy at FANTOM Racing (http://www.fantomracing.com). They got some killer products! They carry a bunch of stuff inlcuding The FACTS Machine, The Fantom Comm Lathe, and a line of awesome motors!
FANTOM Racing (http://www.fantomracing.com) has a lot of knowledge and years of experience behind them too! They have been around for a long time. However they took a little time off and have come back in full force! With a brand new website complete with an online store and Troy tuned my Ultra Bird motors at the 2007 Snowbird Nationals and helped me win the biggest race of my career! Fantom also helped Pete D’Agnolo finish 4th in Pro Mod and Rocket Miller finish 2nd in 12th scale 19t.
Here is a little bit from the site:
Just a little FYI, Pete was using our newest C.P. based (Alloy 2) hand-wound modified 6x1 oval wind, which is the same motor available to you in our custom shop. When ordering, just make sure to choose the “big wire” option. Also, Adam and “The Rocket” were using our latest brush and spring combinations, found on our newest 19 Turn motors, also available direct from our new web-store! Click here to order your custom motor today!
Check em' out! :thumbsup:

JeffPatch29 03-07-2007, 08:05 AM Adam, give me a buzz when you get a second, have a couple questions for you about the open.
Glad to see fantom is back. Pretty much everything I used to run when I was buying stuff over the counter was fantom, and I never had any complaints. I am sure you, Pete, and Steve will do fantom proud.
See you this weekend!
adamliehr 03-07-2007, 12:01 PM Okay will do. I'll try and call sometime this afternoon.

Racing Raider 03-07-2007, 02:20 PM Is this the same fantom racing motors from the 90's? Had a block slanted FANTOM for its logo.

dyno-dylan 03-23-2007, 05:12 PM Hey guys ive got a question about the fantom dyno............. is it possible that if your 12 volt battery isnt working properly that the dyno could draw voltage through the computer to do a motor run?
thanks
Dylan S
I dont think so the wire out of the dyno are out put wires
adamliehr 04-02-2007, 01:28 PM Wanted to thank Troy again for the killer motors and support at the 2007 ARCOR NATS! It is nice to have great advice and info, just a phone call away! Not all companys have customer service like that! With his help I was able to qualify 4th and finish 3rd in my first Mod nationals experience! Ricky TQed and finished 2nd!!!!!
The modified field was full of top calibur drivers like Honeycutt, Roman P. Arnie, Phil M, and Ray Darroch!
The title came down to the 3rd A-main, with at least 4 guys having a shot to win (Honeycutt, Ricky, Fie, and Myself).
Check out the line of killer ALLOY MODIFIED and TEAM MACHINE WOUND motors!
Ricky, Mario Marsillio, Jeff Patch, and Myself all ran Fantom ALLOY 7x1 and 7x2 CP Motors. You can find them at most hobby shops and direct on their killer new online store.

Fantom is back, and in full force!

JeffPatch29 04-02-2007, 04:11 PM I wanted to thank Jeff and Troy for hooking me up with some awsome HP. If it wasn't for some bad luck in the heats I probably could have made the show. If was definately a top notch field, and some of the tightest racing I had seen in a long time. Ricky and Adam did an awsome job this weekend, not only on the race track, but off it as well proving why they are considered a couple of the nicest guys in the industry.

JH Racing 04-03-2007, 02:42 PM The machine wound 19 turn is that an Ultrabird type motor?
Rick Liehr 04-04-2007, 04:44 PM Just wanted to thank Troy for the killer HP this past weekend. I TQed 4 cell mod and finished second to Greg Honeycutt and Adam Liehr also finished 3rd on Fantom motors. Keep up the good work at the shop and thanks for getting us our stuff on such short notice. If your looking for HP for the Roar nats you may want to give them a call. Keep up the great work!!!!

Troy doesn't sell tuned Ultrabirds. The spec 19t on the site is a komodo dragon motor. If you send him a ub he can tune it for $17, the same way he did mine at the Snowbirds!

JH Racing 09-15-2007, 02:53 AM What brush do I need for the Alloy 2 Mod something like a Infinity brush ? Any Help would be Appreciated trying to get my stuff ready for the masters.
adamliehr 09-15-2007, 06:17 PM Sorry for the delay...
I would go with the silver brushes (infinity I believe) and a gold and silver spring combo.
