Outrunner motor vs mud

[jemelumadu2]

Hey guys I've been looking for a outrunner motor and I'm leaning towards the holmes hobbies revolver but I'm not sure if it can handle water and mud that the inrunners can handle as anyone had it in mud or water?

Mud vs revolver... hmmm I think the mud wins lol. Yeah they do not like dirt, debris and especially not mud.

My guess is very few have put this scenario to the test though, but the manufactures dont recommend it at all.

I see you posted in the 1.9 and 2.2 section, its probbaly gonna get more eyes on it in either the Electronics or general crawlers sections. Its kind of frowned upon to post duplicate threads BTW.

I run a Holmes Revolver and to me it looks it would end up sucking in and through mud everywhere. I keep the cap on my water bottle when I run it. Mud is hard on everything and I would bet it would be that much worse on an outrunner. BUT it you want torque!!!

i asked about that once in one of holmes hobies threads he sead he it should be fine but dident recomend it at minimun would have to be cleaned realy well after the nice thing is you can completely disasemble the motor for cleaning he also sead he had the devolver motor thats alot cheaper so if it did die its not a huge loss i think were $40 if he has any left
