You want the Novak Rooster Crawler ESC 55T Motor Combo from Tower Hobbies

and for your servo the futaba S3305 HT MG Servo

i need some help,i didn't want to open a new topic,so i posted here.i want to buy a combo,and i don't know what to choose.novak,tekin,castle....any sugestions?PLS

[Duuuuuuuude]

Personally, I like Castles stuff. They're also the only brand you listed without a history of catching on fire.

For motors, you can't go wrong with either Holmes Hobbies or Brood. Best two builders on the market.

Why does it have to be a combo?

[C*H*U*D]

I really like the BR-XL ESC with Holmes motors. You can have John put together a "combo" for you here:

He has combos, but they seem to be all sold out. I'm sure he can put together any combo that you would want though.

or a sidewinder/45tmotor. I like the castle stuff.

The cs-170 is a great deal on the servo, but I think it is a th-170 now. (towerhobbies) there about 80.00$

wow, you never searched Novak on here did you.


Look at Holmes Hobbies. John will get you going right. Then have a look at the hitec 7954. Not super expensive but it has a shit load of torque.

i like to pick up a combo,because i'm kind of a begginer in electrics,and i'm affraid not to pcik the wrong ESC and wrong motor.that's way if i get a combo,i don't have to worry that the ESC doesn't fit the motor

Every esc on the market lists its capabilities, both in terms of motors and voltage. If you have a motor in mind, find an esc that is capable of running it, or visa versa.

A Sidewinder will handle nearly any motor you throw at it, and it is a proven performer. Pair that with a good motor and you will be happy. Holmes Hobbies has the Torquemaster esc, which is a variant of the Castle esc's, and is also very good, but is not capable of running a brushless motor, though it will handle more voltage and has a stronger internal bec.

I would talk to HH and see what he can put together for you. You won't be disappointed.

i must say,that i am willing to spend around 180$.i just looked over HH,and because it's my first visit on he's page,i have dificulty in finding the esc and motor for crawler.i hope i can make a good choice,with your help.thanks man alot

Nearly everything on his site is for crawlers. If you aren't sure on something, search around here on RCC and see what others are using.

I agree with duuuuuuude on the hh stuff. I am currently running a Holmes hobbies br-xl esc. I did some research and really liked the hh br-xl. As stated above, it doesn't run brushless, but in a crawler brushless seems like a waste of time anyway. It already has a built in bec, which in lamence terms if you don't already know, it supplies the servo with 6 volts instead of the 4-5 volts that other escs normally do. This means you servo will be stronger. The brxl also has one he'll of a drag brake with the Holmes hold. It also can handle up to 6s lipo which is rated at 22.2 volts, way more power than you would ever put in a crawler anyway. It also works with castle software and the castle link, which from what I have read and experienced is way easier than any of the other escs. I just received my new pro handwound 45 turn hh motor. I havn't put it in yet, but I will be sure to tell you the results once I get it up and running. I am sure I won't be disappointed. If nothing else, do some research on here and find something that fits your needs.

Use punctuation much? Or maybe spelling?
