banebots???

[landtortise89]

so i have seen alot of people running the banebots on their rs10. But what I haven's seen is how many turns are these motors I know the stockers are a 70T and I wanna be in the 30-50 range. are these the motors I want?

[nhwheelin]

not sure of the turns and they dont specify how many turns they are.

[landtortise89]

yeah that's my problem I hate how slow the crawler is i'd like a little more wheel speed. do the bane's help with that?

[jsowens]

From what I understand the banebots do give you a bit more wheelspeed than the stock motors.

[landtortise89]

and they are a decent quality motor obviously they aren't the greatest in the world being that they are $5 ea but they seem to work good on the rs10's

[nhwheelin]

i definetly have more wheel speed/spin with the Banebots.

thanks mine should be in the mail. should get them next week all that's going to be left of the original red cat is the axles when I am thru.

just like any other crawler lol it seems like most dont even have that much left when it is all said and done.

i just got my banebots in the mail the other day and i finally had time to get one wired up and installed. just running around with the one motor i can notice a huge difference! there is way more wheel speed and it seems to still be able to crawl slowly. im also installing an 8 tooth pinion in the rear so we will see how it turns out! well worth the $16 shipped for two!

good to here mine should be here today or tomorrow

thats cool, im still on the big debate on motors. i would love to see how they preform in a video, compared to the stockers.if anyone could post a vid of them on the rocks, it would be greatly appreciated. i love to have good wheel speed , but i also want something that has good torque too.not looking for axle breaking torque yet, just good amount. i honestly dont even know how the stocker preform due to me just purchasing the axles for my build.

I was comparing the specs on the 380/390 and 395 Banebots and I came to the conclusion that the 395 are I think going to be the ticket when looking at the no load rpm and the stall torque. I decided its well worth the $16 to give it a try anyway. By the time my build is done and I get to test them, hopefully the steel gears will be out and I will be doing the 540 conversion. I have the 395s on the way so I guess time will tell.

so i thought i would update on my motors. i finally got time to get the other motor installed. im running the stock 10t gears. it has a ton more wheel speed! i also tested the slow crawling aspect of it also on a wood pile out back. it crawls better too. the motors almost eliminated all the clod stall. i still get some stall when it gets in somewhat of a bind but it is able to crawl much better! i recommend them to everyone!

ok i wired in the banebots in my redcat but......i messed the rear motor up(it started to smoke now i'm geussing it's fried)so,i'm glad i ordered 3 lol.....now when i wire in the rear again should i reverse the wires on the motor in the rear(run them opposite of the wiring on the front)yea i'm a newbie aswell.......these motors seemed to make a big difference in speed and crawling....until my little mishap:? a pic would be great but any response will do aswell

Read this.....

ESC Wiring

It will give you the motor layout and ESC.
Sorry gonna have to read no pic's

Later

ty kindly for the link i could not find that info earlier......but............it's wired up again and lovin it again what a difference
