| Best smooth low RPM Holmes motor.
I've ran a couple of Holmes motors now, just wondering what you guys think is the best at smooth slow take off. I'm talking brushed motors here too, when my SCX10 gets a rebuild, I might swap the current Holmes motor for something better at low speeds and when first taking off, current one is good, but feel it could be improved upon. |

I don't have a ton of experience with holmes motors, but I do have a 540 13t crawlmaster. It gives me incredible control at start up (night a day difference from the 3 slot I was using previously). I doubt there are others that are significantly better, though some may be comparable. I would guess the advantage of his other motors would be in torque, in weight/size, or in both.

I have a Holmes BRXL and 40T in my Hilux truck. It is super smooth and does great at the super slow speed stuff but it's incredibly slow on 2s. Slower than a walking pace at full throttle. I've used it with 4s and its plenty fast and still have the low speed control. I have a Holmes 13T torquemaster sitting on the table now but it won't be in anything for a while. |

Otherwise, if you have cash to burn, get yourself a 550 Crawlmaster pro. | |

Just wanted to see what people recommended but the Crawlmaster does seem to be the best. | |

I only run on 3s as well, so don't need to worry about 2s. | |

Anything in the crawlmaster line. Or a custom Pro with skewed arm, that's a little smoother than a normal CM.

Once my new build is finished it will be using the BRXL and 13T and I'll be buying 4s batteries. I'll have a HobbyWing 1080 with the 40T in the truck I'm already using. | |

John, How about offering a CrawlMaster Expert 550 12t. I want a 5 slot 550 can motor but I don't necessarily need a hand wound motor. BTW, I LOVE the CrawlMaster Pro 550 12t, I have three now. |

I'm working on a sport version first. Expert would be a nice catalogue filler too.
