Hi Steve,
I have those motors in mine and I wish now I had gone for the 50 to 1 as torque is quite low, plenty of speed but struggles to turn on short grass and also will not climb fairly low ramp. Possibly change at some time. Interesting that Armortek motors didn't like 12 volts as some pople are using it.
Dennis.

Hi Denis
These are the 3 pole motors as opposed to the 5 pole motors, according to the specs they give almost 2 x the output torque.
Will see how they run later.
Regards
Steve

Re: Steve’s UC
Finally got the UC completed.
Many thanks to Dave Dibb (Armorpax) for the great inspiration and detail upgrades for this kit.
I think it’s come out great and hopefully the twin motor set up will be up to the job.
