I just installed these bad boys... shipping from HobbyRaw didn't take too long, and was free, so.. yay!
Let's just say my slow as mud Pershing suddenly became my FASTEST tank. Holy smokes.
I tuned my radio down to 45% forward and 50% reverse just to get something that approaches a reasonable speed for this tank. I'll set it up on dual-rate to demonstrate Oct 18.. you won't believe this. The torque is still there, and probably moreso than any stock setup. The motors just scream RPM and power. Like YHR said in his motor post it's difficult to say whether the increase in power and speed is strictly from the motor or the fact these gearboxes have a full set of bearings throughout. I'll take it, highly recommended especially for modern tanks.
These gearboxes on a larger sprocket like a Panzer III will be absolutely impossible to control. Whee!!
