K...getting to that point that I am looking for a motor...NUMBER 1 QUESTION....

What made you pick the motor you are running right now, and how many turns is it and by who???

ok, that 1 question had 3 sub questions..but still......I am interested in what makes your crawlers tick....

tekin 35t hand wound on 3s lipos.

chose - great wheel speed and tones of torque.

Started out with an Integy 55T on 2S Lipo...

Currently running an Epic Kreepy 45T on 3S Lipo...

Next season was going to be a Holmes 35T on 3S Lipo, but after seeing my buddy's 7T Cobalt this weekend, one may find it's way into my chassis.

Integy was ok, the Epic is better...JRH's motors are on another level all together.

As you progress as a driver and learn to control wheel speed, you appreciate what it enables your crawler to do.

1. HH Cobalt Puller. Loads of torque, tons of wheelspeed.
2. 35t Integy that I rewound into a 35t double. Nice compromise between torque and wheelspeed.

Both are powered by a 3s lipo.

I've tried 45, 55, and 65 turn motors and all were just too slow for me.

DNA SSS: 7t cobalt puller on 3s, runs a little warm if you push it (donuts in the dirt are fun though

) but it has superb torque and control, and well just a little bit of wheelspeed.

Berg: I will be getting 35t HH toque masters on 3s as that is what was recommend to me.

480 12t cobalt small and powerful on 3s

squatch71 · 10-06-2009, 08:45 PM

Interesting...so basicly its speed......with tons of torque. My nex one will be a 45T epic I think on 3S, bearings and good construction from what I found...7T cobalt will be down the line I believe.

have a 35T and has good wheel speed for me...but I'm not a comp crawler...yet.

grob23 · 10-06-2009, 09:13 PM

I started off with an Integy 55t on 6 cells, and decided I wanted more speed

Then I got an Integy 35t on the same 6 cells... too fast for my taste

I now run an Integy 45t on 6 cell 2/3a packs, and I almost feel it's too quick...

I'm truly considering either trying a 50t, or going back to a 55t and adding another cell... not sure what I'll do as of yet... shoot, I might even try a different pinion before I get too carried away...

have been using brushed 55t handwounded for 2 years, it works very well and picked up for 45t for more fun(not tested yet)

Twin 45T HH Torquemasters, plenty of wheelspeed, smooth low end, gobs of torque.

When I was running a shafty, I started out with the classic 55t Integy lathe motor then went to a 35t Integy crawler motor. Plenty of people will trash integy, but both motors I had never gave me problems.

Would a stock 27 turn work to start out for a newbie? I know I would need put bearing in and replace the bushings.

Any motor will "work", just not as well as one with a higher turn.

The Integy motors are cheap and fairly good. Pick one up and keep the 27 for a paper weight.

Cool, my next motor will be a epic 45T on 3S geared way down with the r2 tranny. I'm looking for good wheel speed and very slow crawling with some umph behind it...and enough "pop" to get the front wheels up and hop over gaps...
