Default motors

What motors are you guys using for crawling without the help of the gd600 looking to switch to a 55t but what are some other options

www.holmeshobbies.com brushless is the only way to go... you might try one of holmes cobalt puller motors too.

I put Novak brushless goat crawler in in mine with a gd-600 and it works great. I love it, way better than the 55t lathe motor.

Most people use 55t motors, they are the best all around motor without getting expensive.

Two 35t in series worked pretty sweet. Small pinion gears, like 9 tooth, or 10.

A single lathe motor is good, but just doesn't have the nads to be great.

Try two Tamiya silver cans in series if ya got them laying around.

Oh yeah, txt section duh.

Two 55t motors in parallel with high voltage, 8t pinions. Or, one big outrunner.

I ordered one integy 55t and hope it will do better than one 23t motor with the gd600. if it does not work out for the better than I will try a 5800 novak set up with the gd again any down sides on that

the novak high speed brushless setups ( 5300, 5700, 5800, etc...)dont have the control and features a crawler brushless system does. no drag brake, no 100% initial start up, etc...

The high speed brushless systems do have drag brake and are water proof. The old one does not but I have both new and old super sports

Barely, but sort of. Well, maybe with a 9 tooth pinion.

Wire them in series, you'll get a longer runtime.

I run my TXT with stock diffs & tranny, 40 series moabs, novac rooster crawler ESC, integgy 45t lathe motor with 8t pinion & an intelect 4200 mAH, 7.2v NiMH battery. It scoots around the flats quite quickly but seems to stall under load while climbing. would twin 45's in series or paralel be better, or a single 55 or 60 stop it from stalling? thanks.

A gear reduction unit will cure the stall.
