Brood Motor Question

[edan]

Hello,

For the people who run, or have ran Brood motors, I have a question please.

I have decided on a Team Brood Racing motors for my Bully 2, but I am undecided between two of them.

After reading the descriptions, and with my limited knowledge on motors, I can not positively decide between the Creep or the Apocalypse motor. From the description it sounds like the Apocalypse 2 magnet motor is better at having “superior braking and holding power”, while the Creep motor’s 4 magnet design has “more power, more RPM, and smoother low speed resolution than any other 4-magnet motor on the market”.

So far, from my research I have decided on the Creep, but I wanted to check here first.

The Bully will be used on terrain that requires very slow technical crawling. There is no place where I have to “get a run” at any obstacle, so my desire is for a rig with good response from zero to approx. 20% - 30% throttle.

Am I correct that the Creep motor would be a better choice for my type of crawler?


Thank you in advance.

The creep is going to be a bit smoother on the bottom. The apocalypse is a solid motor too but it will spin up quicker. I have an apocalypse in one of my sportsman rigs and I like it.

If smooth start up is what you are after, a creep is the ticket. Do keep in mind the arm choice plays a role in this as well....a skewed (type ST or SR) armature is the best combo with the creep for very smooth startup.

Thanks everyone who took the time to reply.


It looks like I will be purchasing 2 Creep motors next month as this sound exactly like what I am looking for.
