Torquey motor

[rustykaos]

Hi there I am currently running a venom 60 turn motor and find that the lower speed is awesome but found this motor hasn't got much torque. Has the Novak 55 turn got better torque and will it be much faster?

Running just a motor in the CC-01 isnt going to produce much torque no matter what turn it is.
If you can afford it i suggest getting an RC4WD 2:1 Gear Reduction and then run a 35t integy. Tons of torque then with really decent wheel speed.

I'm running a 2:1 GRU and a 55 turn motor and love it. It's a perfect setup for rocks only. Go with Scalelover's setup if your using it more for trails and less rocks. Also the GRU acts as a free drag brake. The chassis just has to be cut a little bit to add the GRU.

That 55t isnt making anymore torque then my 35t, Just ask JRH, he will tell you the same. The 35t is making more torque and more wheel speed.

i am currently running a gd-600 2:1 reduction unit with a JRH outrunner and i can run it up to 3s if i need any more wheelspeed, as for torque, if in a bind i let go of the throttle or else i start stripping gears and wheel hexes

Thanks for the info guys. Any chance of a link to a place that sells the GRU's and doesn't mind shipping to australia?

Here you go, this is for the gd-600, you do have to file down the shaft and then a flats spot for the pinion but it's no biggie really.

And i stand corrected it's a 2.5:1 not to 2:1 as i stated earlier

stripping gears and wheel hexes on an cc01 now thats alot of torque

Would this one work? http://store.rc4wd.com/products/2%3A...540-Motor.html

I know I would have to cut some of the battery tray out to fit but I like the idea that the gears are sealed.

Thats the GRU i suggested and i use. I run mine with a 35t integy on 2s lipo.
