What BL Motor for Pulling?

[RC-Monster Mike]

Neat idea! I bet the kids love it! I would guess most any "L" or similar sized motor with low gearing would make easy work of your child pulling duties. I would definately gear it very low and install a fan on the controller(braking will be pretty tough on the controller if you are trying to stop the wagon on a downhill grade). I would probably install a large spur gear (like 76 or whatever the largest available spur gear is) and the smallest pinion you can find. Honestly, if all you are doing is pulling the kids with your truck, I woul go with a very slow motor, such as the Lehner basic xl 1200 or 1600xl and run as many cells as you can fit in the truck. I guess there are many ways to accomplish this! I don't truly think it will be a big challenge, but as I said, slowing down this much weight will be a little tough on the controller.


Let me know if you want to talk a bout a few options for your "puller"!
