XL doesn't have great startup, its brute force rock racer and not crawler tuned. The regular 540 is what everybody else designs into a 550 can or calls an HD motor, so don't be thrown off by the regular size can and 540 name. The Puller 540 was designed specifically for the Wraith and Bomber, it runs cool and offers unmatched startup control. Or throw it into a stampede for 50mph wheelies. It's a very flexible, powerful, and efficient motor. |

Castle Mamba X ESC and either a Holmes Puller Pro or Tekin ROC412. They are both excellent motors and both stand behind their products. Unless things have changed the Puller Pro has the edge with the 3500kV versus the Tekin ROC412 which has a max of 3100kV.

I would suggest 6 degrees of timing. Otherwise, looks good. | ||

Out of curiosity and since I looked at the same brushed motor for my bomber, what is the timing and why 6 degree? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Timing is just like timing on a car. More timing, more rpms. Timing at zero is great for reversing installations like a robot, but in a crawler where we mostly go forwards it is better to have a few degrees for better brush life. 6 to 12 degrees works well and does not affect brake and reverse efficiency too much.

Do you know if the Bomber is forward or reverse rotation? If you add timing, is there any other requirement for installation (gearing, rotation, etc...)? Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |

Bomber is standard (forward) rotation, and you won't have an issue with 550 motors and stock gearing.

Maybe I can move back up to 12T when I change the motor for a crawlmaster. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk | |
