Thanks for the info just need to work out which is the best for my set up making a reduction gearboxes from some old Tamiya gears I had in a box. Will have to count all the gaers and work it all out .To get the ratio and speed correct ,Have a good selection of motors three differant types of speed 400s Heng long white and black cap also Jamara 480 but it might be a bit tight getting these and reduction gearboxes in .
