e-maxx with lathes

[foodstamp]

whats a good gearing for 2 lathe moters on the e-maxx tranns. i want alot of power, but wheel spin to get it out of mud or water. i am also using the 2 speed.

if you want power and wheelspeed then maybe magnetic mayhem motors would be a better choice. Not sure as i have never tried lathes at 14.4 volts but i'd think a 550 mm motor would be better suited.

i was going to run 7.2v

[Rockinrockcrawler]

at 7.2 volts mm motors will give way more wheel speed and good torque too. Look at toyofasts maxx in the crawler gallery i'm pretty sure he is running them.

i asked him and he thinks i should go with the lathe. what turn should i use. 45 or 55

[Cloak]

45t would be more speed than the 55t.

Conversely, the 55t would provide more torque than the 45t.

would i get some more wheel spin out of a 45t?

[toyofast]

If your looking for wheel speed... track down a Mag Mayhem and hook it to a GD-600. Then play with your gearing untill you have it right. Otherwise go dual 35-turns and slap in a 9 tooth pinions and a 8 cell pack.

ok, i think i might go with a 35 or 45. i hear alot of good thing about the lathe motors, so i am going with those.
