The only motors i have are the ones i described to you. If you have any suggestions on motors it would be appreciated the weight of my vehicle is problably going to end up to be around 156lbs due to the use of extremely heavy material (not going to be up against paintballs). The vehicle should move faster than 5mph but i would like it to be able to have high amounts of torque. 4.the tank i have is absolutly huge size isnt a problem. im doing electrical systems last so i do not have any batteries. 5. The speed control is my main problem, i do not know how to do this part. if i were to build my own how would i control the opening and closing of the loops to reverse polarities. would i wire it like this? receiver---mixer---esc/homemade---motor. this is the thing that if you have a picture or diagram of your tanks complete electrical systems that would be highly beneficiary. your help is much appreciated i am new to this and need much training to learn the skill. > > >
