| "Axle Snapper" from B&B Motors
I bought a couple of these off eBay and put them in my clod based crawler. They work really good. Loooong run times too. I used the stock 13t pinion and 6 cells. They have plenty of torque to crawl anything I've found. They seemed to be a tad slower than an Integy 55t lathe but since I'm crawling and not racing, the speed issue isn't a big deal. The power, runtime and cost more than makes up for it. |

Cool. You can buy those Johnson long can motors for about $5 without the fancy inkjet label. Whats the deal with a join Date of Dec. 2005 and this is your first post? I'd call spam alert, but thats a long time to wait to start pimping product. |

Wot, no link? Seriously though, Integy seems to hold the market for crawler motors (apart from brushless) and I'd like to find an alternative. Cheers 8-) |

I have the same type motors that are "axle Snappers", but without the cool labeling. I do like the stickers that B&B slapped on though, pretty nifty. Shameless plug... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41348 |

And over 1600 pms in the same time span. I like discussing electrics and the application of individial products in the power system. | |

Even adding 1 cell w/ help! I use 7 cells when using my MOPED ESC and it is much better than 6 cells.

The Motors are actually 24 volt jobbers. They work nicely on 12 volts in a crawler.

12 volts? No problem, it just means I'll have to scrape the melted mess of the MOPED from my chassis... Cheers 8-) |
