John, looking to get a 20T. How long before they are in stock. The 30T from your original motors didnt do too well in the Teenycar. Need more speed.

JohnRobHolmes 06-08-2011 06:33 AM

I have two here, I just need to be sure they aren't spoken for first. After that I would expect about two weeks for the next round of winding and balancing.

We have a big shipment coming back from the balancer tomorrow. Of course I wound up everything except 20t in the last batch :lol:

team3six 06-09-2011 08:35 PM

well let me know boss. thanks

JohnRobHolmes 06-09-2011 09:32 PM

Looks like they are gone. Want me to put you down for the first two 20t to be done?

Just one John. Just one! Thanks
I wish I could call you so you can help me on this better.

Thanks John for the call and I think we have a solution. Sounds like a plan. Cant wait to try one of these bad boys out."thumbsup"

Is anyone running a non br-xl powered rig with these? If so, what esc's?
How is the drag brake?

JohnRobHolmes 06-10-2011 09:29 AM

I'm running FXrs on mine with about 60% drag on an XR10. Plenty of drag for me.

Mjolnir 06-14-2011 10:44 AM

What would you suggest for a XR10 that will run on 3S.
I'm looking at the Crawlmaster and can't decide which winding I want.

16T seems a bit low but every post I read seems to say that's the "go to" motor. I want Torque more than speed but still want some wheel speed.
I'm no expert in motor since this is my very first electric kit.

My first idea was to get the 32T.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks.

JohnRobHolmes 06-14-2011 10:46 AM

If you have no previous experience with crawling, the 16t will be a lot of speed to deal with. It is just slightly faster than a 35t "normal" motor. It would be my choice for comp crawling though.

If you don't need so much wheelspeed, the 20t or 28t will be a better choice.

Mjolnir 06-14-2011 10:58 AM

Any ETA on when they are gonna get back in stock ? (I'll go with the 28T)
Only thing available right now are the 32T :cry:

Mjolnir 06-14-2011 09:08 PM

Is there other options of HH motor in stock that would give about the same performances?

I mean I'm probably never gonna compete mostly due to my location and it's my first crawler. I just don't want to go cheap on the motors.

JohnRobHolmes 06-14-2011 09:10 PM

Looks like next wednesday for inventory at the moment.

A TorqueMaster Pro 35t would be the closest performance wise.

4ONDFLR 06-16-2011 09:24 PM

Just put in a custom order for a 16T and a BR-XL ESC tonight and my gf picked up the tab since today is my birthday!!! Thank for the great products John. Can't wait to try these out in my Wraith when it all gets here. "thumbsup"

JohnRobHolmes 06-17-2011 07:56 AM

Sweet man! Thats a pretty nice GF!

Scattman 06-20-2011 07:09 PM

Any 16T arms available?

JohnRobHolmes 06-20-2011 07:12 PM

Wednesday.

submariner21 06-20-2011 07:55 PM

What turn motor would you recommend in a Honcho, looking for something a little faster than the rtr 27t. I think I read somewhere you recommended the 16t?

RCram 06-21-2011 09:24 PM

Building up a wraith. Looking for a good crawl and crazy wheel speed. Would you run a 16t or 13t and adjust gearing?

The 13t will be closest in speed on 2s. If you are running 3s you could use the 16t instead. We are also winding up some faster motors in the next batch as well.

I would choose the 13t on 3s or 4s for crazy wheel speed!
