you also need to let people know the # of cells you intend on running....a 9 turn motor on 6 cells could be slower then a 12 turn on 7 or 8 cells

Do like the rest of us with sandrails and go BRUSHLESS!!! I don't like using brushed motors in applications where I want lots of speed, because I have melted a few in the past, and thats when I wasn't trying to get lots of power out of them. Now I use brushless and if it gets too hot, some have thermal protection that shuts the system down. Here is a vid of mine with the SS5800 Same motor as \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ Last edited by TMXONR; 01-17-2007 at 07:22 AM. |

 I like having the enclosed motor. Its nice because you dont have to worry about sucking the sand into the bearings or comm or brushes. I am running a novak ss 5800 in my rail but I actually want to go faster.. this summer I am hitting up holmes hobbies for somehting that can handle 12 cells  Check out this video if mine, thats on 6 cells...not to bad but needs to go faster  http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v7...andrail010.flv | |

I would use something other than a TLT tranny. Belts slip, they stretch, etc... Just say no to belts. |

if someone ask you to use a belt tranny, run and tell a grown up right away.
