don't know yet witch motor i will go
didn't know mutch about this can of parts
i was thinking about puller 500 but can't reach holmes
a bit scared about team brood's price and really don't know what take

[Erik D_lux]

Send EddieO a PM on here. He is always super quick to respond and always has great advice if you tell him what youre looking for and tell him what you have.

It's looking good
I will say get the puller 500's I really like them they have low speed control and lots of pep. And from what it looks like your running a 60/40 setup and the 500's will fit without any modification.(front axle)

[cougar72]

thanks erik, i do that immediately

Yes i have the 500's SL 13 turn

[cougar72]

Crawler motors with low wind counts (13t,15t etc) are wound on a 5 segment armature, whereas a typical 30t-35t wind count is on a 3 segment armature. 5 segment arms typically have much better low speed resolution (smooth) and 3 segment arms make more power.

Build looks like it's got a good list of components. 4" shocks with a cap mod are definitely much too long. definitely look to be much to long though. Try some scx or 3.5" big bores (without a cap mod, but with DlUx standoffs)

tanks for your help

are you talking about something that your finger on the remote control will found
- hard to do with a 3 segment arms
- really hard to do with a 3 segment arms
- impossible to do with a 3 segment arms

i was thinking trying first without modify
then modify the chassis, pulling up 0,5" shock fixation points
then 3,5
to feel the difference and trying to understand reasons why

[cougar72]

something else is the way that my credit card is now really hot and i still have motor and other thinks priority to buy

It's not hard or impossible to get low speed resolution with 3 segment arms. It can be dialed in with expo and throttle curve, but it is just much easier with a 5 segment arm.

5 segment arms also have weaker drag brakes.

Too be honest, you can't go wrong with either choice, and until you have tried both, you would not know the difference.
