In stock now!

It would be safer to use 45t. Just one 35t motor on 3s is ok, but I still don't recommend it.

You could custom order it, otherwise it will be about a week and a half.

gav666 · 08-30-2011, 02:08 PM

Cheeds mate. Ill wait the week and a bit.

JRH, I have a 35t Torquemaster Handwound and I was wondering what the max voltage is for it. 3S? 4s? More?

JohnRobHolmes · 09-15-2011, 11:05 AM

I recommend 3s, but you can run 4s.

cbr6fs · 09-15-2011, 06:47 PM

Same question again please, what do you consider the max voltage of 2 x 45T motors on a XR10?

Any experience with a decent starting point for gearing as well please?

Cheers
Mark

JohnRobHolmes · 09-16-2011, 08:18 AM

15t pinions to start. 3s and 4s lipo is totally safe. People generally run 3s. You could run up to 6s if you wanted, but on an XR10 the 6s battery shape won't give a low center of gravity.

cbr6fs · 09-16-2011, 12:53 PM

Fantastic.

Thank you

gav666 · 09-20-2011, 06:08 PM

Hey mate got my motor today. A.hell of a lot quicker than I expected. Keep up the good work. Just a quick couple of questions. Ive heard that sparkin at the brushes isnt good. My motor sparks when it starts up. Is this normal? And what pinion would you recomend for 3s in a wraith.

Cheers, Gav.

strap624 · 09-22-2011, 01:11 PM

Looking at some of your motors, which would you recommend for a wraith on 2s? I would like to keep the speed similar.

Thank you.

VP Dan · 09-23-2011, 02:05 AM

20 turn is reel close

constantmotion · 09-26-2011, 05:53 AM

Would running an 18T TorqueMaster on 3S for the Wraith have enough torque for some low speed crawling? I am looking for the same..maybe a little more speed but with some crawlability. Running a BR-XL.

I know that you said before, to compare motors to yours, it's best if we compare the RPMs and not the Turns. What's the stock motor's RPM per volt?

A bit of sparking is normal. Heavy sparking and stuff shooting out of the motor is not. You can start with the stock pinion, but going down a few teeth makes the motors happy.

Between a 20 and 27t motor. A 27t should be pretty close to stock speed, under load. Going down a hill it won't be quite so fast.

The torque will start to suffer from brush losses. The stock motors rpm per volt is right at 2200-2300 if I recall correctly. I know a 27t is right there at the same speed under load.

John,

I'm just piecing together my XR10 and noticed your motors have a crimp on spade style connection tabs on them.

Not a fan of this style of connection so i'm wondering if it will have any affect on warranty if i solder on 2 wires to these tab instead?

Cheers
Mark

JohnRobHolmes · 10-08-2011, 09:09 AM

You can absolutely solder to them, it is the more common method of connection and won't affect warranty.

cbr6fs · 10-08-2011, 04:38 PM

Fantastic, thanks.

strap624 · 10-13-2011, 12:30 PM

Ordered a custom 23t for my wraith 2 days ago, do you guys e-mail a shipping notification? Is it still about a 2 week lead time before it ships?

YYCADM · 10-26-2011, 07:59 AM

John,
I recieved notification that my torquemaster pro combo shipped yesterday. I'm going to be running it in a Wraith, wondering if I should leave the timing alone or advance it, say 4-6 degrees?
BTW, currently running it on 5100mah Nimh.

lil red wagon · 10-31-2011, 03:17 AM

I was wondering about the fat pack wind. like how hard is it on motor life VS power/torque gain.
Also im collecting funds to pick up a motor or motor/esc combo and was wondering if running a 35t motor with 20/84 gears on 2s be asking alot of the motor( will be upping to 3s if i get a br-xl

) the stock axial 55t seemed to not like the extra gearing when "in the bind" ............ maby with the 35t i'll throw the 14tooth pinion back in

I'm wondering the same with my new 27t for my wraith. I don't know If I should mess with it. I don't know how to tell what it's set at currently

You will get an email notification. We were gone for our honeymoon so it put orders a bit behind, but your motor is being wound now and will ship as soon as possible. In the future I will begin doing custom winds in house again and we can work the lead time down to just a few days.

If you specified it was being installed in the wraith we already set it for you. If you did not specify, it will be set to zero timing. Adding a few degrees advance is good if you are comfortable doing so.

The fat pack does decrease motor life a bit and eat brushes faster. The extra punch is noticeable if your rig is geared tall or if it is heavy. The 35t motor would be fine geared 20/80, but there is a reason I recommend volting up and gearing down!
