I like the cobalt puller, Something around the 10-12T mark

Thats what I was thinking but im not sure if it will fit in the swx chassis since it is longer then a standard motor.

Have you squeezed this into the PD? If so then is there still room for a DIG

I was looking at Holmes motors just last night, but was thinking of the Torquemaster (I was really looking for an FXR and then got seduced into looking further)!

The Holmes Torque Master is a awesome motor at a very resonable price. That is what I have in my "OG Frogger" and I will be Putting in my "poison Dart".

The mini puller is fun, good power, very snappy, but I prefer the handwound 540's. I'm running a 35t and absolutely love it, the low speed resolution is like butter.

Personally, I'd run the Torqumaster pro in a 35t on a 3s lipo.

I run 35t brushed motors on just about everything.

I would love to try a pair of the 16t Crawlmasters in my berg sometime, though.
