scx10 noobie needs help
 

hey guys im new to crawling i bought a scx10 rtr about a year ago and only used it three times
the esc got cooked, i wana upgrade the ecs and motor but not sure what to get
iv been looking at the FXR combo with the 35t motor.. but im stuck trying to make my mind up, i also want to get a stronger steering arm and links can someone post a link where i could find these.. and please comment on that you think about the FXR esc and 35t

thanks :)

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

There is a thread in this section with a list of the electronics that people use in their rigs, and the FXR seems to be one of the most common setups. So it cetainly seems a good choice. I cant comment as i am running the stock stuff. A 35T motor is good so no issues there eitherand ff you run the 35T on 3S you will be smiling. Try RPP for the links.

cheers

I cant comment on the FXR. A 35T motor will work great for you if you like trail and rock. Its a pretty versatile motor. I love my HH 35T. Plenty of power, good torque, and great wheel speed.

From what I have read, a lot of people love the FXR. Again, from what I've read, it seems like you cant really go wrong with either an FXR or a BR-XL. I've got a Rooster CE and I'm fairly happy with it. No real issues so far, easy to setup, and performs pretty smoothly.

i run the fxr in most all of my trucks, also have a br-xl and rooster ce. i really like the fxr's. excellent controller and a very small size(easy to hide inside a electronics box) but if thats not a factor, i would go with the br-xl, i run 35 turn motors in most. you can run 3s on a fxr ONLY with a 35turn motor or higher, br-xl has no limit and can go to 6s and has a good bec built in. the fxr's bec is good also unless you start putting high voltage or really high tourqe servo's (i run hitec mg645 no problem plus i have some 240-300oz also with no problem) in your truck. i like the 35 turn motors, seem to be a good mix of wheel speed and tourqe. very good trail motor.

I run fxr in my comp crawler and love it. I have never had an issue out of the fxr I also run a HH br-xl in my wraith and a Castle sidewinder sv2 in my scx10 they are all good but I prefer the br-xl for the scaler stuff not sure why it just seems to work better and smoother. I also run 35t motors in everything and have heard good things about the tekin 35t but have never tried them my motors are HH and Team Brood they all run great on 3s with plenty of control and plenty of wheel speed but like the guy above pointed out on the fxr you can't run anything over 3s on the fxr but you can the br-xl and the sidewinder.

thanks guys for the help! now its time to spend money haha BR-LX is the winner. i got a venom power 4200 nimh battery will that work with BR-LX ?

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

i would say any battery you have up to a 6s lipo will work(nicd,nimh,lipo)

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

oh, and go ahead and spend the extra $10 bucks for the waterproofing! well worth it and good to have if you ever need it, plus you don't have to worry about doing it yourself.

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

haha all done for the esc now to find a 35t motor

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

a good motor is the tekin's although may be pricey for you( depends on what you run your truck in) a cheaper ( but still rebuildable) and decent motor are the integy's

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

i find a Tekin T35 HD 35 Turn Rock Crawler Brushed Motor on ebay for $45 aud

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

not sure of the conversion rate, but tekins are around $55 usd and integy are around $30 usd here.

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

ok you reckon i should get that tekin motor ? the Tekin T35 HD 35 Turn Rock Crawler Brushed Motor

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

there a better motor by far ( equals better drag brake and better low speed control) if your in mud alot though, you dont really need an expensive motor. less money if it burns up. but i run the tekin and love them anyway because i run every where! just clean them good after every run. you really can't go wrong with them.

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

thanks for your help i got the tekin hand wound 35t and the Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL cant wait to use them!!

Re: scx10 noobie needs help
 

you'll love the combination! glad i could help. and a castle link opens up even more programming and makes it easier to program your br-xl!
