(yes even the spinbrush in it's many forms can't touch it) I'm sure someone could throw together parts from various motors and come up with something close or even better, but if constructing a hand wound modified motor is beyond you? Then this is the best alternative I have yet found. This is simply my opinion and is in no way a sales pitch, it's just a setup that has worked for me, and well!



All I have to say, is that I could have easily dropped the $50+ on an NML motor if I wanted to, but I would rather come up with something on my own. I'll admit that I've got way more invested in my trial-and-error motor setups than I would have buying an off-the-shelf motor, but to me, the satifaction comes in building something yourself. Not paying others to do it for you. If you buy an off-the-shelf motor, so can everybody else. Now where's the competitive advantage that you just paid $50 or more for? My goal is to build something that is superior to the NML motor, despite the huge advantages he has (more experience, a comm lathe, etc.). Then and only then will I be satisfied. Oh, and I want to do it on 4 cells, too. Six cells is too easy, and doesn't work for anything but drag racing. These cars are top-heavy enough already. The only way I'll go six cell is if Slugbugg's chassis comes through.
