Default RE: Leo 2 Motor question

ORIGINAL: secretsg

It's not the need for speed. The stock motors lack ball bearings, anti vibration tech, surface mounted capacitors and can't be rebuilt. It just feels cheap in a kit with a price tag of $800+
The D6 motors should offer a lot more torque especially if you plan on going all metal with tracks and wheels.

EXACTLY!!! Eventually I was thinking of going with full metal tracks. I think metal wheels are a overkill and offer little advantage compared to the disadvantage of their weight.

With new motors I want a little more torque with ball bearings and the ability to repair. Overall, just better quality.
