My Brief but Exciting Introduction to Hand Wound Motors

I've been running Tekin 45T machine-wound motors front and back and been perfectly happy with them, but when I got a chance to grab some newly rebuilt HH Torquemasters I jumped.

My Tekins had 20+ hours on them and were still chugging along with my stock gears. I installed the HH's over the weekend and after less than 30 minutes:

I was going up a line I've done dozens of times and the back wheel got a little bound up. I goosed it just a little bit :shock:. Dang--sounded like a rifle shot!

Making a note: torque is my friend but use it wisely :)

Good thing I ordered some RC4WD gears last week and have them sitting on the bench.

(the low speed ability of these HH's is extremely cool!)
