Should have also mentioned a law, watts=volts x amps.

Double the voltage, half the amps, have less watts lost as heat. Quadruple the voltage, quarter the amps, much less lost as heat. Assuming your keeping the same power output (wattage) at each voltage.

Hard to pull off high voltage with brushed motors, consider going brushless. Much higher efficiency right off the bat.


If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...

Thanks for your help Looks like I'll go with the pros. Yeah in regards to amps/volts, that's very hard to do, as the motors are really 3s with caution, any higher and it's going to be instant smoke! Brushless is a pain in crawlers and especially for the rig I'm building as the axles pretty much only take 400 size motors. And as of now no one makes a sensored 400 size brushless motor, however there are plans on the table, but that's about it. But I know exactly where your coming from and am trying to follow that principle in my Hyper 7. And just to clarify it's not some rubbish redcat/hsp thing that it only takes small motors

Thanks!
