Default RE: Truck Pull crawler motors in 380 size for tanks

Honestly...

I want a balance of speed and torque. For example, the old clutched King Tiger was rediculously fast, but reportedly dropping a 55t Integy lathe/climber motor in it made it move realistically, and it had significant climb-power too.

And Shenlonco is right: higher windings are what are giving the motors more torque, so should under normal operation ~lower~ the amperage draw. Now stressing them for more agressive maneuvers, well, you takes your chances. BUT the Sabretooth unit ~is~ fuse-protected, and you can always add another fast-blow in there if you really are worried.

Gonna do some more testing for us Shen?
