Most people think the Tiger runs too fast but lacks power. 

Can the new HL boards take 400's ?

The RX14 or 18 will handle these motors with ease, I have had mine in a heavy Tiger and a Bulldog, no cooling fan either. The RX13 is not quite so tolerant so a fan might save the day, but it will probably blow.

Thats a hard way to remove pinions, just 5 seconds with a blow lamp till it glows red hot and slide it straight off with a pair of pliers, pick up the new motor and slide it straight on before it cools. Job done.

I did put in el-mod electronics in my Matorro KT that have Impact gearboxes + 480 speed motors 22.000 RPM and tracks. It now have enough torque to climp nearly anything in the Battlefield
