Neither do I- if the crappy Evx2 can handle a pair of 700Ho motors just about on 4s lipo, the MM shouldnt have any issues for sure.

I wonder what the difference between the kershaw 700 HO motor and other 700 motors?

Ok, how about the physical difference? The 700 HO must have better qual windings and magnets, as it seems have a similar kv to the reg 700. I guess that explains the cost. For my purposes the 700 motors Neil linked to will be more than enough.

I think the 700HO motors have 5 pole armatures, rather than 3 poles on the normal 700s... I think.

Sorry I meant to link to it.:lol: Don't waste on other big brushed motors, believe me I have tried them all. Not even close to the dewalts. Here http://www.robotcombat.com/products/dewalt_motors.html The motors I have are the "new" 18 volt motor. The speed controller I used is on this site also.

Thanks, do you think that a MM would be able to handle 2 of them? Any idea what speed they turn at a specific voltage?

Maybe I would only need 1 of them? I really can't see a brushed motor doing more than 500 watts...

I can remember several years ago guys were running the 18v dewalt motor single setup on 16.8 volt nimh and getting around 32-33 mph in the e-maxx. I think one would be plenty for your application.

I think the MM would be easily able to take them...

That sounds good. I may have to give one of them a try. The dual 775 motors look good too, but I would have to buy pinions for them, and a motor mount, I could make a single motor mount easily for the 820 motor.

So I have decided to try the titans first. Looks like 13/72 gearing will do the job.

Remember that the mamba max won't have to switch phase with a brushed motors so it should be able to handle 200-300 amps instead of 100(Of course i doubt that Castle would warranty it at those amp even in brushed mode). It's not for nothing that manufacturer have problem doing brushless controller.

I peaked 1900 watts on my eagle tree with that 18 volt dewalt motor in my 1/5 scale e-maxx/baja(waiting on MM). It was doing a constant 700 plus watts. That was using 6s2p a123 cells. I also ran 8s1p1 a123 and peaked at 1700 watts. If those numbers are right those HO motors suck. Like I said I tried them all before going brushless and the dewalts are the most powerful brushed motors of that size. I still run one in my jugg2 on 6s 123cells. I do think the mamba can run it. Just use the high power wiring setup.

In fact there is a few more powerful brushed motor at that size. One of the most fearsome one are astro cobalt motors reaching 85 to 88% efficiency iirc.

The astro cobalt 90 is said to be able to replace a .90 glow engine on a plane... 1500-1600 watts continuous which is near a neu 1521 but at 2 pound. The good point though is that controller handling brushed motors are more robust...

Those are a bit more powerful, but the dewalts are one tenth the price.
