I need engine recommendation for an 8x8.

[zatanax]

I am doing a project of a tatra 813 8x8, I have ordered most of its components and I await your arrival.
Order this gearbox https://prnt.sc/umr27c.

Since I have a hobbywing 1080 ESC it would have to be a brushed
I have read that I can put two motors in parallel, but not if it will be good or bad.

If you can tell me which would be the best recommendation if I have to do more torque, I don't want too much speed, but I do want it to pass obstacles.

Torque is your desire. Revolver comes immediately to mind, but not with a 1080.


Hang up and Drive

If Holmes made a big Revolver and brought back the 1000 KV that would be a great fit. EDIT the 1000 Kv motors are back, never mind.

I have a 20LB 8x8 running a 550 Holmes Crawlmaster motor though the Torquemaster is the motor with more torque, I just prefer the 5 slot motors. I also have a Mamba X Monster ESC due to the heavy weight.

I dont see a weight limit on the HW 1080's but I would be a little concerned if your 8x8 is also heavy like mine is.

Dual motor seems to have lost popularity likely due to the fact that we have some great crawler motors these days. Dual motors will require an ESC that can power 2 motors like the HW 880.

If you stay brushed, i second tbe 880 as it can take 4s. Volt up gear down has been a motto on here.

I vote for the cummins

thanks"thumbsup" and the motor for dual power not expensive for 880?

Get one of Holmes's motors, and you could run 2 motors depending on the transmission.
