king of the hammer r1 rock buggy-holmes hobbies? Hey guys - I've just finished a gmade r1 and I put the novak brushless goat setup in it 18.5 - it has decent wheel speed but>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have decided to build a king of the hammer track in my back yard in Georgia - What i need help with is recommendations for motor and esc. My thoughts are holmes hobbies waterproof esc, and 23 turn hand wound - i dont want too much drag - i will run 3 cell - any feed back on homes hobbies 23 turn would be great? any other suggestions welcome"thumbsup" |
I guess the question is; what don't ya like about the goat ya are using? :shock: I would think a koth rig would be an excellent brushless app. I'm not a novak fan but since ya got it....8) |

First off, let me say that I don't care so much for brushless or Novak, and that I am a fan of Holmes motors and ESC's. I think the Holmes would do well. That said, if doing any rock crawling, I prefer to run a drag brake. I really don't see the need to coast unless it's a full blown track racer. Even if your going as fast as you're going to go with a crawler, just don't completely shut off the throttle. With proper throttle control, you could easily run the fast sections yet still have the drag brake for the technical rock sections. |

? all good points to consider - eddieo said that a 23 turn is good but a 19 is better - :ror: - gearing and voltage from there for torque or speed - Ive been a touring car guy for years and this is still new to me (can't get the fast outta my blood) - when I was saying dial the drag break out, i just meant "to not do ENDOS" would be a good thing going from 20 to 0 in ummmmm 1 second:shock: - could get expensive! |
if you want some speed here ya go. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...=250676&page=4 post #69 for the current motor setup video. Running a Castle Sidewinder on 3S. So far, all i have had to upgrade is the driveshafts to modded t-maxx ones. |

cant go wrong with the Holmes stuff, plus if your feeling a little crazy you can go 6s lipo:twisted: |

there is video link to a HH test with the same motor on my thread somewhere. I think you have to jam a summit 2 speed in there somehow to get the slow and fast without changing things. dunno if it will fit. |
If ya want to crawl and go fast either a good sensored brushless esc (mmpro - rs) and 10.5 - 17.5 motor on at least 3s or hh esc & 15t - 30t motor on 6s ought to do it! :twisted: |
