Default Contraband

I'll have contrabands ready to ship feb.14
There is a limited # being made and everyone wants me to pm them when
they are ready.Well I thought I would try it this way instead,if you want one you have ample time to get ahead of the curve.
there will be 5 of each available,I dont know how long 15 motors will last.

there are
0-17t
0-18t
5-19t
not spoken for

If you want to get your name of one,send me a pm

crawler mafia handwound 1.9 comp motors

Thanks for your continued support,
Paul

Could you explain the different motors? I am not that familiar with brushed.

A 16t does not seem that different to me than a 19t. Why would I want a 18t but not a 19t etc,.

Is there that big of a difference from 1t?

Yeah there is really.

When its a high wind,you dont notice it really.
so a 52t and a 55t will feel about the same,but when you get to the lower winds.It is a noticeable difference.

17T-This motor will be faster than the 18t and 19t,it is suited best with
drivers who desire alot of wheel speed.

19t-Great motor for drivers who feel better low end controle is more important than wheel speed.

18t is a happy median

All you have to do is pick your poison


I had a top driver say he would prefer a 17t,so I made it happen

I had another top driver say he would prefer a 18t for a little more finess,and so it was

The 19t was really initially to take care of guys with truck a little on the heavy side,mrc scalers included.Something a little more suited to thier needs,yet its still no doubt a comp worthy motor aswell for the serious competitor.

That helps. Thanks.

Am I to assume that you dont really want to adjust wheelspeed/torque with the pinions as much as choosing the correct motor from the get go? All motors like to run in the 12t pinion range (give or take a tooth)?

Well not really,a 45t hpi micro modified, may run hot with a 12/60 gearing



the 12t pinion will work well on all 3 contrabands,and IMO is the best starting point,but you may be able to adjust that gearing for more speed/torque still depending on what you desire.And you may have to adjust from 12t depending on how you drive.the motor must come 1st,if your motor/esc is getting to hot after a typical run,you must adjust your gearing to acommodate.

With the contraband in a comp rig,torque is not an issue,nither is drag
brake. The speed isnt really an issue iether,even the 19t is considerably fast with a 12t pinion.

Payment sent to pre order a 18T. Cant wait.

Guys, If you dont already know. These motors are highly sought after and considered first choice by many drivers. A few guys in my club run them and love them.

Thanks Paul.

I run your motor also. 19T with a 12t pinion gear. I took 6th place with it at the AZ Qualifier. A must have for the mini. It was good to meet you.
