    the motor does not heat up when it is brushes and work in blocking all the time?
    Have you thought about putting a pulley to win par? These direct engines have little force for a ffb

    I put 24v into controller with out any volt drop from battery, with all setting on 100% but on the output side of the controller going to motor I only have a max of 8v when in use on a game with everything maxed out.

    is your power supply the problem ?

    can you try a different source of power ?

    Using a car battery 100ah while on charge, so should be powerful, unfortunately I don't have any other supplys about at the moment, would I be wrong in thinking that if the volts don't drop under load then the current would still be ok

    if the volts are dropping under load the power supply can not maintain current
