Slash 4x4 Buggy 1717 6s

Hi Lizard!

Finally registered here just to be your groupie!

Anyway, was wondering if your TP also has such high magnet drag. Can you turn the shaft easily by hand? With my TP4070 it's hard to impossible to do so without the grip of a pinion on it. In comparison, the 1717 spins very freely. Wondering if that is why my motor sounds so loud in my onboard vids compared to other set-ups (including yours) I've seen (yes, I'm assuming it's not caused by be me messing up the gear mesh).

Also wondering what high magnet drag would imply (if any) with respect to performance. Not sure how valid it its, but I read that it indicates the armature coils are wound around an iron core, which interacts with the magnets' static magnetic field at all times, even when the motor is un-powered. The iron core channels the electromagnetic field produced by the armature coils so it can interact more strongly with the static magnetic field, meaning motors with iron armature cores can produce more torque than motors without them.

Again, don't know how valid that all is; interested to hear other's opinions.

Looking forward to seeing your TP5670 powered Slash!
