I have 3 trucks with the 437 rpm planet motors I like them a lot . I like the speed and they still have enough power to pull my grandkids on my Flatdeck . What to with the trannys now

Thanks

Hi Dennis,

Yes I just slid the pinion off the servo city motor and pressed it on the 550 I used, don't care for that type of pinion but its worked running around in the house so I'll run it until it fails.

Hi Izzy, good to hear from you, thanks for the comment, just remember when you see it in person stand on the other side of the room LOL, its all hand cut and the hand isn't as steady as it used to be.

Mike, I'm in the same boat but i'll figure something to do with them. What battery are you running with your motors? I just run 7.2 nimh and they seemed a little slow since those are 12v motors, that's why I swapped the motors, made a big difference.
