Default Anybody know if this is a 540 size motor

I have a clodbuster and this is my first major build other than links and steering and I need a slower turn motor so I can keep my ESC temps down

I ran 65 turn motors with the stock pinion gears, which are 13 teeth, and thought it worked great in my Clod with 2.2 sized tires.

Did you get good run times and how was the wheelspeed and torque?

I've ran the 55t, 65t, and the 75t. I love the 55t and the 65t, but the 75t was to much

I used them in my 2.2 TCS Stick Clod, I have a thread buried in here somewhere.

Run time is of course dependant on what battery pack I use. But yeah, overall, times were longer than I cared to drive the thing, in a good way.

Wheelspeed was good on ~7.4 volts, and plenty fast on 11.1 volts. Enough power as well.

I liked it enough that I now use the 65 turn motors on 3S in my Berg. Just recently cut the comms and rebrushed em, and they're good to go.

Another question... probaly a dumb question but the motor has 6 terminals on back. it looks like its two for each power side of the motor incase you want to run them is series or something and two little terminals???? what do i do. if i knew how to draw something i would try to draw it quick but i know you guys said you had them also. what is the trick?

You are correct two terminals for each + & - side and the small ones are for grounding the can if you desire. If you dont have a 2.4ghz radio you can mount capacitors from + to gnd and - to gnd to keep it from glitching. I wouldnt run series off opposite sides if I could help it but you could. They are on both sides to give you options on how to keep your wires from hanging out the side of the chassis and getting ripped off.
