I don't have anything in the RPM ranges that pullers typically use. If you have a class where there is only one stage of geardown, maybe I can help. What motor do you currently use?

I was going to try to start with a 3 cell lipo and micro switch. I have a spare FX-R and Side winder in case that doesnt work out!! I was thinking of starting out with around a 10 turn motor to start? Any maybe something that could handle a 4 or 5 cell later. I use your motors in all my other rigs with great results, Just wanted to keep the tradition alive! Thanks for the help! | |

Hey JRH, Looking at getting a MMM. What is the diference between the two on your website, one with box for $170 and the other marked CLON w/o box for $120? Still get the same warranty with both? Just wondering if just a box is worth $50!! LOL

I wanted to know if I can run the HH 7T puller with my FXR on a 3s lipo? Thanks |

I just ordered the cobalt puller 500. I was wondering what a good starting point for gearing was. Its going in a ax10 . thanks

Are the tekin rs brushless set ups water resistent at all? Im looking to run something in my scx10 that can handle 3s and dont wanna be limited to all dry areas. Are all sensored brushless systems bad with moisture? I have a novak havoc 3s 8.5t ballistic set up in my slash. If i bought a tekin rs 17.5 set up, would i be able to swap speed control/motors between the two? The novak is slightly water resistent so i figure it might be better for the scx10 and i would love to have the rs speed control in the slash! |

I think it may be a combination of the low resistance wind, zero timing, laydown brushes, and maybe high voltage that is causing the fast wear. Quote:
John I got my rebuilt 35ts and my 40ts...been really loving the 40t's for about 5 packs...now it wont run...dead like the 35t I sent to you.. so heres the kicker... I pull the 40T out thinking no big deal I will cut the comm soon as my lathe shows up and in the mean time I will run the 35ts I just had you rebuild.. I pull them out of the USPS and start to check the forward/reverse and realize the rear 35t I sent you for rebuild STILL has the dead spot it was sent in for!!! now I'm motorless and have a comp on tuesday... what the heck is going on with my rear motors?? why are they smoking like this???? the 35t will run if I help it...the 40T is DEAD NEVER moves... HELP?!?!?? | |

I can't get you a new motor by tuesday unfortunately, as I don't have any of that wind here. I just have 30t's. I checked over the motors personally and they were running fine for me back and forth, but it is certainly possible that I have a magic touch. I cut that comm pretty deep, so it is probably just a dud at this point. When I get more motors I can replace it for you. On the 40t, check the brushes to be sure they are not stuck, and that the brush wire is not hung or bent around the hood. You can also check each segment for continuity to ensure there isn't a bad segment. IF it is the same motor as the 35t that died (like a rear), then something in your setup may be causing an issue. Dig setup, ESC, something. Novak hold brake seems to burn a lot of comms. I do believe you read the thread where I went over the cause of the pitted comm. I will be looking into a modified design to counter this, otherwise some forward timing is your best bet. Just a few degrees is enough. Sounds like your rear may just have some issue though, as this is two in a row. |

my set-up is dual FXR's and a 4pk..CC BEC hard wired to the servo@ 6.5V 3s lipo..robot steering servo. I just don't understand whats going on here???? and yes it's the rear motors that keep burning...but I just don't see why or how???? I drove the 40t's super slow!! I babied them trying to make them last since my last ones went so fast...this one went EVEN quicker then last time....what could cause this on my set-up?? thanks for the help | |

Any blackening on the 40t wires? Totally dead then eh? Could be dumb luck, just happened to happen twice in a row. You could run 35t on front and 40t on rear. The speed difference would not be much, and you could compete. I would estimate a bit more than one percent of motors that come through my hands show this problem in one way or another. I have had about 8 of my motors go bad in the last 600. |

Send em back and I will send you totally new ones when they come in. 35ts are being wound now, and I will put in for some 40t as well. I won't really have a use for the motors, but I would really like to check them over heavy to see if I can spot a commonality between them or the other few I have here. Sorry for the troubles with these. Brushed motors can just be frustrating sometimes. |

Quick question, First some facts. 1. I have a Nomadio React 2. I want to put a 7.4v lipo in it. 3. I konw I will need to step the voltage down below 6v. (know a good one??) How would I know when the voltage of the 2c lipo is to the cutoff voltage? Just hook a lipo alarm to it? Even though it will be outputting ~5v. Just a tad confusing for me. I have this battery picked out cause it will fit in the radio and is 2000mah. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ck-74V-2000mAh |

I used a CC BEC in my react, set to 6v. As soon as the voltage hit 5.9v I knew it was time to charge the battery. I used a 1300 3 cell pack and it lasted forever, and there was room for the CC BEC inside too.

But wouldn't 5.9v be too low of a voltage for a 7.4v lipo pack? Wouldn't 6.4v be the safe cutoff voltage for a 2c lipo? I have a 2c alarm that I can hook up to the lipo pack. That should cut the pack off at the correct voltage even though the voltage on the React will be showing 5.1v. Just trying to see if that makes sense. |

sure, if you have room that would be great. Under low discharge rate a lipo can actually go down to 2.5v per cell without damage. 6v is safe however. |
