2 volts with a small fan for 200-300 seconds.

Anyone?

Also what brush/spring combos are working on the KD's for TC? Thanks.

Thanks for the help. I had it backwards. I thought pulling mre amps ment it was less efficient. Now i know why i am so slow, oh wait its cause i keep hitting stuff. So th next question is how do you increase the amp draw? I cut the com and changed the brushes. At 2 amps it only pulls like 4 amps. I am sure this has been cover many times but my search ends up being to big to sort through. Thanks agin guys.
