My jugg has a big johnson powerplant pushing a GD600 reduction unit. The Johnson motors replaced the Mabuchi motors, they would be the motors that came stock with your truck. And one of them with a reduction unit has enough power to break parts before it will stall out.

I got it from Towerhobbies. I would not run it with a motor as slow as the 55t lathe, maybe with a 35 turn... I recently tried a 65t in my Jugg, and it was stalling on some weak stuff. I ended up putting my Johnson back in with the reduction.

From my experience a lathe motor doen't work well in a big shafty truck. They usually stall. Get a magnetic mayhem and a GD600.

everything turns freely, i was thinking that a bigger battery pack might help but it sounds as if the GD600 is the real solution, would that be pretty well unanimous?
