I have a couple of 35s that I got in a trade. They seem to be just fine. The trade off is that you have to toss them when they wear out.

I ran RC4WD's 35T in my Honcho for a while on 3s mud bogging fried after maybe 6-8 packs. Submarined them several times. Just used water to clean them out...then compressed air...then WD-40 to displace the water over night. Then shot it with electric motor cleaner. Lubed up the end bell and good to go again. I do the same thing with my Tamiya silver can motors for mudding. Definitely worth the price...I haven't had one fail on me yet that wasn't my own doing lol. |

They are good throw away motors. Worth 10 bucks if you plan on abusing them. I wouldn't treat a 60 dollar hand wound that way.

I am waiting for them to get the 750 motors in stock for $20 a piece. will definitely post up once I try them out. Many of these companies have huge markups once they develop a brand name recognition...

Most all of these motors can be purchased elsewhere for cheap if you know what to look for. All Electronics | Electronic and Electro-Mechanical Parts and Supplies at Discount Prices is a good place for that.

I've been beating the crap out of mine on my Bully based comp rig and Losi CC with MOA kit for 3 years now with no complaints. I don't like to rebuild motors so for me, they're golden.
