Motors

Dave, soldering the capacitors onto the motor can is tough if you don't have a soldering iron with at least 50 or 60 watts of power. The motor can will absorb a lot of the heat.

Many of the more expensive, higher end motors have built in capacitors to filter the noise, which is a really nice benefit.

I run a Holmes Hobbies crawlmaster motor. Bought it for my Axial crawler and then stole it to build my Scania. It's an awesome motor, heaps of torque, excellent slow speed control, hand wound, on the pricey side tho.

The Carson truck puller motors seem reasonable priced, otherwise could try the RC4WD ones. 55 or 65 turn motors and they're pretty cheap. I was using a 65 turn RC4WD in my crawler before I got the crawlmaster and it was pretty good.
