| which motor?
Hi, I have Tamiya TLT-1 with 12T pinion gear and 83T spur gear, all I need is slow speed and more torque for crawling, integy motor has 45T, 55T, 65T and 75T, they are all about the same prices, I don't know which one is best for me, or do I have other choices? Anyone know the spec for integy motors, I couldn't find them from official website? Thanx! |

Well, it will depend on what type of truck this motor is going in (scaler or comp crawler) and what transmission you will be using, but I have found that the 45T works quite well in most TLT based applications.

Thank you JeremyH. Now I'm using Tamiya stock transmission, should I try Integy 45T first (V10 or V11)? what combination of transmission and motor do you suggest? Thanx! Last edited by kc092755; 09-01-2009 at 07:34 AM. |

A 45t is a good wind to start with. If you want some wheelspeed the 35t is great, if you want long runtime the 55t is your best bet.

Thank you JohnRobHolmes. I found 45T, 65T and 75T in a local store, all at the same prices, should I get 65T? Do I need to weld capacitor on the motor? which capacitor? Thanx! Last edited by kc092755; 09-01-2009 at 09:05 AM. |

anything over 55 turns is mind numbingly slow id highly suggest going w/ a 45 for beginers. learn how to control your throttle finger then maybe bump up to 35t if you feel you need some extra wheelspeed |

After you purchase a new motor, the next item that you'll want to upgrade is the stock TLT transmission. It is belt driven and will quickly begin to skip teeth. A transmission for an Axial AX10 is a nice upgrade. It wont be a direct bolt in, but I am sure that you can make it work. If you post up a bit more information about your truck and possibly a few pictures (with the body off), we can help you more...

Thank you all for the replies. At this moment, my truck is about the original stock Tamiya TLT-1, I'd like to remain the size as possible but increase its crawling ability (I don't mind losing the speed), I'm thinking of get a good motor, transmission and tires, extend and widen a bit about the links and wheels. Is there a big differents between Tamiya stock moto(RS-540SH) and Integy 45T? I know is not a good question, but the differents of RPM and torque obviously? Thanx! ps.sorry for my poor english!

Tekin's hand wound 55t is amazing, on the highlifts it can go like 7 mph and crawl up walls, its fast and powerful, |

| They are pretty close to the same wheelspeed (if not a little bit slower) as the stock silvercan motor but the Integy motor will have a lot more torque.

How about the differents between Integy 45T and 55T? 55T has more wheelspeed or more torque? Thanx! | |

| 55t has more torque. Higher the wind, more torque less wheelspeed. If you looking for a good brushed motor with a good combination of wheelspeed and torque, you should check out a HH Puller, best motor I have ever ran.

Is wheelspeed important in crawling motion? Thanx! | |

| which motor
Hi Ryan, Check out the Q78 size for the TSL. It has more tread depth and a narrower section width which should increase contact pressure. I think its 35.5OD x 10.5 and a pretty popular size for 15 and 16 size wheels. |
