Default RE: First drift, spur gear stripped!!!

The thing people fail to understand is that, when it comes to drifting, lower turn motors ARE NOT more powerful. They are tuned for extremely high RPM. Sure, depending on windage, you can have a good amount of torque, but a spec or stock motor has torque to spare. Not to mention they also allow for longer runtimes. Just think about it, a properly geared stock motor will have about 30 minutes of runtime with 3000+maH batteries. As a rule of thumb, I wouldn't recommend anything lower than a 15T.
