|  Is there a worldwide shortage on 35t and 45t motors?
Looking to add a 45t to my 2.2 and a 35t to my scaler and it seems to me that everyone is sold out. :-(

 Tear downs are hard to find since not many companies make them anymore. Cheapy motors are easy to find. If you want to buy a GOOD motor,you gotta watch and buy quick while they are in stock.Holmes Handwounds | |

Do you think a 35t HH for my scaler SCX10 is a good match? And a 45t HH for my 2.2 SWX? I'll order now. |

Any reason? Just curious. My only experience is with a Novak 55 on my old rig and two fxr 55's on my current two. Why is there a shift to the lower turn motors now? |

I just went through that routine also. 30, 35, 40, 45t, winds in this range are hard to get. There have been a lot of scale builds popping up lately w/ Tamiya releasing the CR-01 and Axial's outstanding SCX10. 35 to 45t seems to be a good motor choice for these type trucks and what folks expect out of them performance-wise, and until recently this wind range has not been very popular w/ the rc buying public. Hence the low production rate and lack of stock-on-hand. Like raptorman says, you have to keep your finger on the pulse of the market and remain monetarily prepared to strike at a moments notice. Wednesday afternoon I finally scored a 7t Cobalt Puller from Holmes. This morning they're all gone. They were probably gone yesterday morning... |

Enabling comp crawlers to run lower turn motors for more wheelspeed and still have low speed control and usable torque. Just a theory... | |

A 35t in an Axial with stock gearing on a 3 cell is a touch slow for me personally,but it is a good set up that works well.Lower turn motors have been popular for a long time....it's not a new thing. | |

Wow, stock gearing, a HH 35t and a 3cell lipo (which would be what my setup is) is still slow for you? At that point are you just playing with pinions to find the right balance?

I run Axial trans 16/88 gears, TLT axles, 7 cell nimh, and a cheapo 35t works great for me. The 35t motor I'm using is probably aimed more for the drifters since that whats printed in huge letters on the can. My LHS usually has a bunch of these in stock.

That is an almost opposite application, you do want plenty of wheelspeed but don't really need much torque at all. You're just spinning some ABS "tires". My drifter (Tamiya TA03F) runs a 19t double on an 11.1 volt LiPo for insane wheelspeed. I hardly ever go full throttle on it, I don't have to. Your TLT is probably a much better use for that motor... | |

I now run a Berg in comps and my son drives my old Axial. For his driving style and my wallet,I needed to detune it a little. Stock gearing and a 35t works well and he doesn't break much. | |

Defender is right about the yokomo motor. It is labeled for drift and it is 35t. I have used it in the past with a TT01 and uber high gearing and it was a blast drifting in very tight places even with a stick pack. Sooo much better control that any sensored brushless. And with a 3s it would rip even in bigger places but got a little hot. There are quite a lot of these motors flying around on e-shops.
