Default Brushed motor



Here is my Ta05 with a brushed motor I dug up from way back when. I don't know how many turns it is. Maybe a 11x2. I think that was the fastest motor I had. I don't know about you but the torque on brushed motors are insane. From start it produces more than my 17.5t. Only when the 17.5 gets to mid range does it pull as hard.

This car is pretty fun even with a slow servo like a futaba s3003. Top speed is weak sauce as the max rpms on this old unkept motor are 30k at best but with all the low end torque and slick Ride tires it's basically a wheel spinning drift machine. Luckily the ta05 is so well balanced that it doesn't feel impossible to drive.

Pretty fun. Might be worth it to put the big tires back on now that I have so much torque.
