Default Need help with Team Orion motors

I picked up a txt-1 recently and it came with a pair of Team Orion Orbital 2 Pro BB motors. I did the forum and interweb searches and didnt come up with much. Are these a good motor and how do i identify the turn on them. ( sorry, newb at iding motors)

They seem to be a 19 turn triple. Way too fast for crawling.

For crawling you will either want a pair of lathe motors, or a reuction unit such as the GD600 with a silver can stock motor. Or if you have money to work with, go with a mamba max brushless esc and a big outrunner motor from Holmes hobbies. a brushless setup like that will run you over $200.

Of all the above choices, i imagine the brushless setup is the smoothest and mainly troublefree setup, with great torque? Ill spend the money for good stuff, just want to know what work from someone with experience.

send Johnrobholmes a PM, tell him what you have. He will recommend a good brushless setup for you, he knows his stuff

It will be marked on the armature, look through the hole in the can (if there is one) or just pull the end bell off and take the arm out. It will be on there.

another option would be to rewind them if they are to low a turn.

Finally looked, they are 11 turn motors. Picked up a set of stockers, and ordering a gd600 shortly.
