[QUOTE="Johny25, post: 245868, member: 7791"] 45lb thrust sounds about right for the setup you got going (which sounds similar to what I am going to get) And I would go with as heavy a cable as the motor comes with and no smaller. If you are going a long distance then get larger cable which will cause less resistance. The farther you extend the cable the more resistance you will have so get larger cable. Motor prob has 8 gauge? So go 8 gauge for short extension and maybe 6 gauge for a long extension? That would be my opinion. [/QUOTE]
