<p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Hi Swathdiver,</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> 

</p></font></font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">You’re right, based on the Tiger’s performance the new motor was turning at 10,750 RPM, but that was driving the tank under full load. The figures in this thread relate to no load or sprocket RPM so I can’t compare the new motor to the white and black caps as I don’t have the instruments to measure RPM.</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> 

</p></font></font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">If the new motor is a Mabuchi then it's performance is almost identical to the black capped motors. The motor looks like a Mabuchi but is made in China. It may be a copy and not perform as well.</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> 

</p></font></font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Would a black capped Suntech push a Tiger through metal gears and HX18 at the same speed of 1.76mph? Would a drop from 16200RPM with no load to 10750RPM under full load sound about right?</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> 

</p></font></font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Any advise would be appreciated.</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Regards,</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Captain Bullshot</font></p><p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">
