My 8 project

[kevin23]

WOW!,I ordered the 50t spur,and I ordered the tekno long shank pinions for tekno today.
I ordered a 12 and a 13t,I will try the 12 to see if the batt temps come down and the runtime should go up,I hope so anyway.

Is there any drawback to running the pinions and using the mechanical brakes still.
I'm going to keep the mechanical brakes to try and save the mah as much as possible.
I know it is not much,but every little bit helps.Would running the pinions help put some"charge" back in the batt's when off power since the motor still turns or does it not work like a brushed motor in that aspect?
Thanks again guys,
Kevin
