Yes, your wheelspeed will be just as slow and controllable thanks to the quality build and smooth comm.

Great, thanks alot John, sounds like I would be happy with a 35t hand wound then.
Now if you would just get a 35t hand wound in stock so I can send you my monies ;)

You can go ahead and preorder one of the p-94 builds if you wish. The Pro version will be about 3 months out, the factory will have to make them from scratch for me.

Got a ballpark idea when you will have the 35t p-94's in stock?
If its going to be fairly soon I will go ahead and preorder.

What does the non-vented can and the larger comm do for it?

I'm just trying to decide if its worth waiting for the other cans! I'm looking at the 45t's for my berg w/ 3cell lipo and mamba max.

JRH,I had the magnets(2) come loose from the can and was wondering what to use to re-attach them. I've never had this happen before.

TIA, Steve

CA glue works. Just make sure it is clean frome dust first.

Thanks, I used a dremel/wire brush and cleaned the can and used some denatured alky to wipe it down. Hunting CA now. I was leaning toward CA before but was not sure. It just started making a grinding noise but I caught before any damage.

Nice. Did it get hot or smacked really hard?

No impact or heat issues, I think it was just a minor factory oversight,probably one in a million thing. The reason I say this is because It's been used very little, maybe 2 packs of light use. I've never had it happen before and probably will not again. Anyhoo the CA worked, running good as new. Thanks for the info

While CA works ok, JB Weld is a lot better. The factory uses a similar epoxy that's really thin to hold them in....some times, they get missed or worse yet, get a very small tab and even the slightest jolt knocks them loose....

You did the right thing with the can, clean it...scuff a little bit.....but use JB Weld....it will never come lose. CA is a bit too brittle and doesnt really stick to metal worth a dang.....

Cool, I'll pick up some JB just in case. I'd hate to loose this motor they are hard to come by. Kinda like trying to catch a chicken smiling

Thanks for the input guys

I know your website listed 35's as the lowest turn you offer, is there any way to get a 27?

Thanks,

T.D.

He's got motors down to 11 turns. He's even got the 25t in stock. Are you sure you're on the right page?

Are you guys back? I'd like to order some motors, but no one answers the phone and all the motors on the web page say "out of stock". -Migs

The origional Pro version (this thread) will be remanufactured, estimate about two months. The p-94 version is getting wound now- two weeks out. Sorry for being hard to get ahold of, I just started school and will need to change the phone hours.
