Skewed arms are a hell of a lot easier to wind than a 5 segment........and they don't look like a blind guy did it when yer done...... Lower copper what? The amount of copper on a skew is pretty much identical...I measured it out to the regular blanks and it was within a couple of mm... Post some pics of your skewed arms, would love to see em...

Skewed arms have less volume perpendicular to the angle of the skew, just like a slanted parking space. While the opening of the slot is the same size, the right angle measurement from the leg is smaller which is important since wire fill is also perpendicular to the skew. Using basic trig, a slanted armature of 10 degrees drops from 5.07mm space to 5mm perpendicular space. Maybe not a huge deal for some wire sizes, but it is an issue. I don't have any 3 slot skewed arms left, that was years back and I don't keep used up arms. I have some 7 slot ones here still. |

Its very little issue on our arms.....all the standard stuff fits....have not tried the HHK wires on everything but most fit too.......so its a moot issue. When trinity released them back with the D5, there was not a single wind we could not do with them......everything fit, even 15 awg on a 7t. Later EddieO |

Didn't I send you the fixed unit Eeepee? Or was it the unit with different bits? Later EddieO |

I got a non fixed unit (that sounds funny) and one bit, and I think you said it's the biggest one you had. It doesn't fit between some hoods on some endbells.

Eddie or whoever, you know what these springs are comparable to. They are off the Kr motors I bought. Copper colored. All 6(motors) are the same... |

They are like a 9.5 oz spring....pretty soft for crawling. We only used them for offroad much....too soft for most onroad too. Later EddieO |

I've been using 7.0 springs more recently, I don't want that copper getting worn off too quickly.

See...its working! Ted...and Eddie...tell me something here... I've read several places that the KR cans are nice for their 4 magnets...providing a nice SMOOTH startup and low speed control. How much different is the drag brake with these cans compared to the standard Brood can? I know the brushes and springs, and just about every part play into this...but assuming you're running as many of the same parts as possible what is the result? Is it negligible?

I guess that depends what you call the standard brood can? The apocalypse is the same teardown everyone else sells....made by sagami, two magnets, etc etc. The creep, originally was based on the PT teardown which is very close to a KR, except it has a few more vents ....so a tad less steel....one could argue better low speed and more power than a KR, but slightly less torque and drag brake......all my testing has shown the KR has the same low speed, but better torque and drag brake. However, I am out of the old PT teardowns.....I had 1000+.....they lasted me about a 18 months....so, I ordered the sagami teardown with quad magnets.....all testing shows it to be very similar to a KR in performance....it is the new creep... To the naked eye, the new Creep and the Apocalypse will look identical unless you look inside to see the magnets.... Later EddieO |

Brushed is the way of the crawler. You can be like the majority and just run the motor and replace it when it fails. Or be like the people that get the idea of this thread and take care of what you have.
