Hi guys
Im new here!
I need a new motor for my tamiya fighter buggy.
I was thinking of saturn 20t or ansmann 18t.
What do you lot think?
cheers

I think the Saturns are very good but I have no experience of the Ansmann.

Hi,

I've had experience with the Ansmann clash motor as it came bundled with my rtr Mad Rat. They aren't at all fast for their winding and they aren't torquey.

After a few runs I took it out and went brushless.

Hi,

I run the Ansmann 18t in my TT01 and it is more than fast enough. I am running it on quite a technical track though. I do think its a good motor though. Just get a powerfull battery or run a lipo battery.

Finely a good review! Yes, i run a 8.4v 3000mah pack to take care of torque! What gearing shell i use?

Depends on what buggy you've got and also how technical the track is you're running on. Let me know what buggy you've got. As for the track, if it's a track with lots of straights you want to run higher top end speed but if it's a technical track with lots of corners you want more acceleration.

Its a tamiya fighter buggy rx, i have been modifying it for 3 years now and what a buggy! I only bash in car parks and maby a dusty field track.
It has to be 17t 32dp or 19t 32dp. Thanks Dan
