| Holmes Hobbies Motor
hey guys im in the market for a new motor for my 2.2 comp crawler. Currently im running an integy 55t and its just not cutting since adding mayhem eng beadlocks (these things are heavy). anyways I have been reading really good things about the Holmes hobbies 35t motor, but it is out of stock, is there much difference between the 30t and 35t except a little more wheel speed and a little less torque? will i notice the difference? i have also been looking at a 7t puller motor. I would love to run this motor, but i am running a 6-cell 4500 mah NiMH battery. Ive heard this is an ideal setup for this motor, they prefer to be on LiPo's. is this correct? thanks for the info in advance Steven |

I bought a lipo for it when I got the motor but I have never used it. I personally don't need the benefits so far. | |

i am very happy with my HH 30t. i started with a 45t Integy burned it up and went to a 27t silver can laying around. the 30t has way more torque and wheel speed, it has better slow speed control also. i measured stall torque with a torque watch 36in-oz for the 30t and 12in-oz for the silver can all at 7v. it doesn't get hot ever and i haven't stalled out in the buggy.

The 7T Cobalt will work fine on subC cells, as they can supply enough amps for the motor, it's 2/3A cells that can't supply enough ummpph for the Cobalts | |

Doc J33P, be sure your enbell is tight and properly timed on the puller motor. All good suggestions in there. I have used a 20t on 4s lipo and crawled around, a 30t isn't that fast on 3s really. At least to me @ sbarnes, the 30t is a good choice, or the 45 really. Your battery pack would work very will with the 30t or 7t Puller too, lipo is not necessary. Just a pack big enough to supply the power. |

Just put in the 35t Holmes motor and it's a noticeable improvement over the Integy 50t I had in there. Low speed has great resolution and the wheel speed is great, even on 3s A123. I can't imagine what it's like on 3s lipo. I may just have to try it out on lipo next week, but I don't think it really needs the extra voltage. Great motor John! Well worth the money. Next on my list is designing a crawler around the Cobalt puller. |

thanks for all the info you guys are the best. I am going to go with the HH 35t for the time being. I would love to go with the 7t puller motor, but that thing is big lol. that extra 1/2" will be a little tight with the chassis and setup i am currently running. |

On an 8 cell pack it would work well, but the battery life may be shorter depending on how you gear and drive it. Too many 30+ amp bursts will slowly kill 2/3a cells.

Slowly kill em, like you may only get 30 cycles before the capacity drops sharp. Your miles will vary, it is very hard to predict exactly how hard you will thrash the cells. I tend to give overkill estimates. I can tell you that they work without getting overly hot, which is all that most people care about. |
