Tsubaki chain is expensive as heck. And no, not the right chain. It would have to have the K-1 attachment on EVERY link. That's why I was going to look into Ben's supplier and see if anyone else wanted to go in on a group buy. I could front the cash for the buy and distribute it once I got it.

http://en.unitemotor.com/ProductView_41.html They make an MY1018 motor in 250W and 450W in the same case. The thicker version of the motor is the MY1016 which I also have and that one is rated at 350W in a thicker case. http://en.unitemotor.com/ProductView_40.html Derek T065 On Mon, Dec 28, 20

Derek are you sure those are 450w motors? I have the 250w version in front of me and they look like the same thickness, the 450w ones are thicker than that from what I have seen, perhaps its just the photo playing tricks though. Looks great BTW! Ben From: rctankcombat@googlegroups.com [mailto

Been working on it hot and heavy and got the drivetrain in and tested. Testing went well - all worked as planned. As you can see in the pics the motors are installed in boxes. I did it that way so I could easily remove them if needed. Because they are totally enclosed, I added some fans to keep t
