Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

I would like to put a brushless motor in my scx10. What would be a good motor and esc combo? Also what 11.1 lipo would be good to run? Thanks guys, newbie to the hobby but want to learn.

Also what pinion gear would be good. I want some speed but would like good crawling ability

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

I run a novak brushless crawler speed control and 18.5 motor, use venom 2s Lipo, lots of run time!

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

I run the same battery as "ben297" and it has great run time

didn't want to open another topic so i'm posting here.want to put a tekin roc412 3100KV motor in my scx,and what's the best to run with?tekin rs or mamba monster?

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

the RS is much smaller but I've seen a lot more of them go up in flames than the MMP.

I run a tekin Pro4 3300 with MMP in one truck and a Pro4 4000 in my 2speed truck with MMP... great combo's!

Pinion/Spur is 11t/58t I think

ok,i saw that they released the MMP 2 wich is waterproof,is it any good on spending bucks on that esc?

Kitty im gettin that roc 3100 motor, but using the castle creations Momba max pro. It is goin in my new scale jeep rubi. I currently am using a mm pro with a Novak 13.5 crawler motor. Works great!!!!!! Been using the speed control for 1 year the motor for 3 years.

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

get it.what about the mamba monster 2?any one use it?

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

Way bigger/heavier than you want/need in a scaler.

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

ok,thx,then i'l go with the first one :D

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

I run Novak brushless..and love them.

Re: Brushless motor, esc combo?
 

X2. I run an original MMP and 18.5 Novak Crawler on 3s. IMO, more than I need in a scaler. Does everything I need and then some, GREAT runtime (I got about 2 hours out of 1800mah battery - I am easy on the throttle).

I have had my MMP for 3 years (it has been moved from my SCT, TC, Losi Crawler, Ebuggy, and now scaler - SOLID ESC) and my Novak motor for about a year. Very pleased with this combo.

Please note that I have no desire or intention of mudding or getting it wet. If i were I would have a brushed setup.

I also run a 20T pinion with the stock spur. Motor and ESC run cool and excellent low speed resolution. I also use the slipper as a line of defense.

The Viper VTX8 is a promising sensored WATERPROOF brushless controller.

You then just need to fnd a motor. I have also seen that the LRP modified sensored motors have waterproof sensors. The problem is the kv isn't very low for a crawler. You could always gear lower to compensate.

I'm running rs/Novak 17.5 on 3s and love it, good control when needed and mega balls for steep muddy hill climbs! 17/87 gearing.
Driveline is beefed up also.
