bloody good motor.

I ran the anima against betty's S04 (35turn) and it had the greater top speed, but the longest part of our track is no more than 5-7 metres. In this distance the S04 gets there quicker than the 33 turn anima. Anima was geared at 7t and the S04 was geared at 9t.

The saber is basically the S04 with a fat comm. Balanced 35 turn arm, bb can, neo magnets are the same with both.

Also, the anima would dump the batts quicker (even with the lower pinion). So betty would always have 3-5 minutes more drive time than me.

Now I'm whipping his arse with the saber! I'm even faster and more torque than him! hah! The funny thing is that it's most likely due to the fact that I'm just running a NEW 35 turn over his OLD 35 turn....shit happens......who knows......

I'm learning.

I have to get me one of those Zs for some hands-on training as well.

Those look like rides from serious R/C enthusiasts. Just sittin' there pretty, all broken-in. I bet your Zs here would strike fear into the hearts of racers that own stock Zs.
