Stock AX-10 ESC with a Integy 65t or 55t motor? I heard the stock AX-10 esc is only compatiable with motors around 27t? I'm trying to put together parts to build a custom crawler. I have a locked pede tranny so far. And in the proccess of drawing up a custom chasis to be cut out by the water jet.

Simple question to the experienced people...... Nobody know?

I believe ESC's only have a lower limit for motors. So going to a higher turn always works.

i run a 55t on my stock ax10 esc for now. it is not an ideal esc for crawling but will get you moving

jwc123 · 01-21-2009, 06:31 PM

Ok yea i figured it wouldn't be the greatest, just as long as it work. Now with a ESC do you have to have some kind of progammer for it. Or do i just get the ESC and hook it up to the motor and servo and its good?

Just hook it up and crawl

jwc123 · 01-21-2009, 06:42 PM

Ok thanks. With the controller i have a Nyline controller that works fine. Can i just match the freq. and used it?

Your stock Axial ESC will work fine with a 55/65t motor. The issue with the stock Axial ESC is that is has NO drag brake.....

I hooked up a 55t Axial motor to my stock ESC and it worked great. Half the speed of a 27t motor and a tad more sensitivity.

After swapping the ESC with a Rooster, I had a drag brake and 3x the sensitivity and it was just a better all around crawler.

i use to run the stock esc w/ a novak 55 w/ no problems

you may want to look into getting an esc w/ a drag break though

If I was going to go to all the trouble to have a custom chassis cut I would not go with the bottom of the barrel esc. Get a Mamba, Tekin,Rooster. Instant reverse and drag brake.

jwc123 · 01-21-2009, 08:06 PM

Its no trouble i have access to lathes, CNC mills, water jets, and all the works anytime. Just have a low budget right now because i back in college. In school for machining

Thanks

BEN214 · 02-06-2009, 05:54 PM

the only limit to the stock ax10 ecs is down to 15 turns , any thing higher will work

MEDiC · 02-06-2009, 06:27 PM
