Yea maybe so, but I am still in the learning curve with this

. As I have stated here before I have only been in this hobby for three years and I have much to learn. I have built 4 Super Maxx type trucks that all need power plants. Although I am a retired Navy mechanic bringing a lot of experience to this hobby my electrical experiences are limited to huge power plant training. With the Dewalt 970 power drill motors I already know what they can do, because of my experience in construction. So I wanted to see what they can do in one of my trucks

. They have tons of torque and their reliability factor is pretty good as well

. So why not? Yes they are brushed, but they still take a lot of abuse before ever needing any kind of maintenance

. Plus the bottom line is the price. Show me that kind of power and reputation for $30 on the brushless side

. It was a good way to start out for very little money

.

I also have a Novak HV Maxx 4.5 that I am playing with. It may not be great. but it seems to work fairly well for the price

. I am waiting on a Monster Pro 125B right now that I just purchased form someone on here, and I like a lot of others on here am waiting patiently for the MMM to put in my last project now in production

. I just have to figure out and come up with a couple of good motors for testing. I am considering a Mega motor 30 series for one, and a 1515.1Y(or similar) for the other one. I am sure that it will take some testing and practice on my part before I am happy with any of them

. Have you tried the Dewalt 970 motors?
