Brood or HH?

[cave-man]

I can't decide between a Brood creep R/T 35t and a HH Torque Master Pro 35t.

It will go in my scaler, I am running a HH Torque Master ESC.

I know I can't go wrong with either one as they are both very good motors and I know it's a lot to ask because both company's are very respected. Please help me decide.

Is one better than the other? Should I just flip a coin?

im pretty partial to Holmes stuff as he live just a few miles from me

I like Team Broods 4 magnet motors. The low end is super smooth. I have run Team Brood motors for the last 3 months and absolutely love them. You have all the power you can handle and EddieO will send you the motors set for an MOA, if that is what you run, one with forward rotation and one reverse rotation. He does all his winding and building of motors in house which is a plus. If you want something specific you can contact him by PM on here and he will set you up with what you need. I have had zero issues with Team Brood Motors and man do they perform.

You can't go wrong with either motor chose.

flip a coin

I have both holmes and brood motors. they are both the highest quality, you cant go wrong with either as far as performance or customer service.

 

[EeePee]

Yes, both are top level motors. But realize that while both offer different wind options, Br00d has slightly different builds available. Different commutator sizes, brush orientation (Holmes does also), and magnet count. And maybe brushes and springs... so slightly different flavors of a particular type of motor.

Either way though, you can flip a coin and get the best.

Either motor is good and I doubt you would regret buying either one.

I have run Holmes 540 motors for the past 2 years and can tell you that I have had no problems with them. I have a 35T Handwound that has been passed around from comp rigs to scalers and I absolutely love the torque and speed of it. Holmes Hobbies motors are top quality and so is the service. 8)

One of those guys has been supporting RC crawling with great motors for five years "thumbsup" And the other one is br00d.

 

[BFGcrawler418]

I just ordered up a HH handwound pro 25T, do the same and you may be as cool as me

To be honest I do not think I have heard one bad comment about HH motors.

 

[KRAWLR4life]

HH's for me, thanks "thumbsup"

 

[DISTURBIN' tha PEACE]

EddieO will send you the motors set for an MOA, if that is what you run, one with forward rotation and one reverse rotation.

He doesn't even own a crawler.

So true.:ror: "thumbsup"

I'll only run Holmes Motors.

[EddieO]

Umm yeah....I guess its talk crap day about brood for some...

First, I own quite a few crawlers. I bought a tuber online in 2006, followed by a Gmade. I was one of the very first Hobbyshops in the USA to carry RC4wd stuff. Right now I have a Losi....don't get to run it much, but its fun. I also have in progress a berg and super. I have an XR10 on order. I don't get much time to play with my crawlers, as I am busy building motors and taking care of 4 kids...

We have been winding and selling crawler motors since 2005.....thats 5 years for slow people who can't count. A lot of the companies selling crawler motors were buying them from us and relabeling them as their own, some still do. We've had crawler motors on our website since 2006.....

So please, in the future, know what you are talking about before spouting your mouth.

That being said, either or is a quality motor.....my advice, stick with handwound stuff and stay away from the machine wound crap....

Later EddieO

As was mentioned earlier, both motors are very good. Both use excellent materials and are built by people who know what they are doing. However if you are looking for an unfair advantage, Br00d has it. I've run lots of motors, and the Br00ds have the smoothest start up and a blistering top end. The only thing I need now is more traction. Jumping the truck with these motors is an act of throttle control, if you grab all of the throttle, you'll just sit and spin tires "thumbsup"

the kr series of motors are my favorite. to bad nobody will sell me any freakin t.d.'s

 

[Neutron]

Brood. Even if he didn't have a crawler, he KNOWS motors. I like to go to the source when I can, and avoid the middle man. Both are good motors tho. Good luck

 

[roksloski]

HH motors...."thumbsup""thumbsup" this is my second set.......

would not even think about the other motors mentioned here......:shock:

 

[KC_JoNeS]

I dont quite understand the hostility in this thread....I have plans to run both. EddieO, I will contact you later about a motor.

I dunno either. I guess some people feel pretty strongly about who they give money to.


Settle down fellas, you know the rules about bashing.
