    Yes, you wouldn't loose wheel speed in the rear but rather gain it in the front at the expense of low speed control. It's all a big trade off! And what works best for you depends on how you drive your rig and what you need it to do. I'm more into crawling rather than trailing so I focus my build around slow speed control.

    Thanks mate! Listed as non waterproof on Injoras website however brushed motors typically don't have any issues running submerged in water! There is the little capacitor board on the back of the motor that may be subject to corrosion but a squirt of corrosion x would take care of that. I've not seen a water sealed brushed motor yet, they all let water inside! You need to dry them out and lube the bushings after a good puddle run!

  • @havikhobbies

    @havikhobbies

    Жыл бұрын

    It's been awhile since I've bothered with the stock gearing because I don't do any trailing. Both of these motors are faster than the stock 87t and have more torque regardless of the gearing. My opinion is these faster motors work best with the low range gears. For crawling I would choose the low gears and probably the Injora Pro. For trailing I would probably go with the low gears also, but opt for the MoFo Big Block! Although I wouldn't trail a Trx4m and would grab my FMS FCX24 due to the 2 speed transmission, but that's another story!

    The net effects will be the same as a more pronounced overdrive of the front axle. If it's a negative or positive will depend on what you want out of the truck! I personally prefer a more subtle overdrive effect for general driving. You may prefer more depending on your terrain.

    All testing in this video is with the optional low range "crawl" gears. Both of these motors are faster than stock and really need the low gears if you intend to spend a lot of time at slow speed. The stock transmission ratio is good for trail and OK for light crawling IMO. Thanks for hanging out!

    Yes they have the 9% and 16% overdrive. The 16% is not very aggressive IMO. Yes leaving the rear axle ratio stock and overdrive in the front will net the same pulling from the front characteristics, however your essentially gearing UP instead of down so it will affect your slow speed control. You need to decide what is more important to you, speed or control! It's more challenging to have your cake and eat it too with brushed motors!
