Johnson monster motor

[Tempted]

My question is why? 970 motors are pretty much junk in RC applications. Too big, too heavy, too much battery power required. They add a metric ton and require too much work stiffening and upgrading stuff that can't handle the weight.

Well it was free stuff

And I want to bash In water so I may just end with the Titan 775 from the new Summit

Any one tried two Revo springs on one shock ?

A mm should hadle the 970 fine if you are doing 14cells nimh or 4s lipo max. If you are going higher then the MMM is the best bet. Price will be about the same once you add a ubec to the MM so the MMM is most likely the way to go. Or a novak super duty brushed esc, but the MMM will be more versatile and has computer programability. Hard to fine a better esc that the CC ones, they are very versatile and the price is almost too good to be true...

Yea I am rebuilding a 3906 RCM monster myself and using two Dewalt 970 motors as well. I have the Kershaw Designs motor mounting plate and I am using the Novak Super Duty XR ESC. I am also using the RCM hybrid bulks with the HPI Lightning hardened diff gear setup. From what I can tell it will all work out just fine for what I want. I have plenty of gearing options due to the stocks that I have built up along the way. Sure it will be a little bit top heavy due to the setup, but it is a basher so who cares. I am planning to mount the battery packs below the chassis in order to compensate for these heavy motors being so high up. Hopefully this will counter act things a bit and lower the center of gravity for the setup. You have the motor already in hand so set it up and have some fun. There are a few guys on here who have already done this project with either Johnson or Dewalt motors and they seemed to have done ok and have had some fun with the project. So enjoy.
