what motors have you guys ran and found to be good?
Okay I dont care what kinda truck you got rather it be a Pede,rustler, Rc10,evanda whatever, I just want to know what kinda motor you got what gearing you got and what tpye of packs your running and how long the motor last before you had to replace whatever in it......
if you look arounf there are Tons and tons of motors out there, I have a Trinity Chameleon 2 Motor fround here http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXAVJ3&P=7
In my Pede, well supooly it got only one run on it after it was rebuilt and now I had 2 runs on it well we took it apart and it looked bad, real bad we redon it best we could and put it back in so far so good, it was geared 20/87 for speed and the motor would autally smoke after about 10 minutes of hard running, someone said it geard to high so I just geared it 15/87 it still has lot of speed and gets there a little quicker but still getting warm not smoking(yet) but hot.
I want to buy another motor to replace this one when it goes out(wont be long) and I want to also get one for my rustler, but As somesaid well the Chameleon only last about 5 runs then you have to replace the brushes and do work to the armature, thats crappy if you ask me..
I want something I dont have to fool with every other day. yes I run my trucks At least 5 times a day . or should I say 5 battery packs a day.
I have heard good things about the orion 19t BB motor but I also heard good about the Chameolen also, so anyone heard anything bad about the Orion 19 turn, its got angled Brushes in it.. never seen one like it before.
here is the link to it
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJAJ6&P=7
Any other motors you guys suggest? I would like to keep my run times around 10 minutes.
I like going WOT alot of the time and I am running GP3300's 6 cell packs.
i also would like speed. My esc will handle down to a 12 turn motor.
are they any 15,17 turn motors around the same price$36-50 that would do good in my Pede?
if I had a hotter motor I would gear down even more right? be quick starting off.
Okay any ideas would be great guys..
If you have only had your motor for 2 runs then dont post, I want to hear from folks who have ran and ran over and over. thanks
And I know you have to do motor work time to time but i would liek to get at least a week of running out of one before i have to work on it. if I cant find a motor to do this I will just go brushless.

team checkpoint 9 turn offroad. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXKFF0&P=7
i've had over 40 runs without replacing brushes or true-ing comm. I got it last august and still run it today.
I checked last weekend, and my brushes are about half the length they started - still lots of life left in them!
The advertisements don't lie - these motors last a LONG time before needing to be rebuilt!

RE: what motors have you guys ran and found to be good?
What's the difference in batteries? What makes some better than others?
How do you replace brushes or true the comm.?
Can you tell I'm new to the r/c world?
