Talk 1520 - your experiences

[Jahay]

Thanks nuz for your opinion... The difference in price between the two motors really isnt a factor when you are spending this sort of cash. neither is the weight i guess. But i guess i am worried that i will not be able to gear high enough to reach my desired speeds. but according to this gearing, it looks like i can just about considering the high speed idler gear will be installed.

Motor Current Draw: 0 not sure how many amps the motor would draw on stated gearing. would esc overheat????
Motor Coil Resistance: 0
Spur/Pinion Ratio: 1.76 : 1
Total Ratio: 12.56309 : 1
Tire Circumference (inches): 20.42 inches (518.68 mm)
