You mean aside from the arcing and friction from the brushes?

I think it has a built in fan... BrianG cryptonite there

You may be right, but it would be interesting to play with the "best" brushed has to offer, at least for 40 bucks...

BTW, I have the 6x6 maxx rolling now. Check the build thred!

TBH, I'd use a fan if it was built into the motor, kind of like a Pletty. It's the add-on crap I'm dead-set against. Not only does it look retarded and messy, it shouldn't be needed. But if the fan was built-in, I'd see it as a little extra insurance against heat. And I hate heat more than I hate fans.

Yeah, the plett fan is a really nice design. Makes the 1512 motor as capable as a 1515... I would rather not have the fan myself, but it does help alot on brushed motors.

some sparks do fly, but these motors handle 24 volts well.
@lincpimp get one. If you want brushed, get the dewalt.

I may still give the dewalt a try, but I think an outrunner will end up in the truck I am building. I have a 2826/12 axi that fits my gearing perfectly...

Ok, so I got a dewalt motor out of an 18v drill. How do I go about removing the pinion? Looks like it is pressed on, but the gear appears to be on as far as the front bearing. I guess I can grind the gear off on each side to release it...
