Default 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.

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

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

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.
