Choosing a Motor and ESC for my SCX10? Hi I SAW THIS "STICKY" In the Wrath section and I was wondering if some of you could tell me the same info , but for my scx10. I know the info is out there and I have searched but I would just kind it simply laid out for me, if you have the time. Thanks Robert Quote:

Re: Choosing a Motor and ESC for my SCX10? Its really based on your driving style. For example when I know I'll be running on flat ground in mud or snow I like the traxxas 12t with a two or three s lipo. For more of a slow crawling type I go with an axial 55t with two s lipo. If I'm doing a tractor pull I do a 55t with three or four s lipo. And for trail rides I like the axial 27 turn. All of these motors are relatively inexpensive and easily replaceable. But the can last a long time if properly cleaned and oiled on a regular basis. I've tried the stock ae-2? Esc, the traxxas xl-5, and a torque master br-xl esc from Holmes hobbies. The most versatile esc is the br-xl. It can run up to a six s lipo, and has no turn limit on 540 can motors. Plus you can get it waterproof with a sixty day warrenty. I have yet to try a thirty five turn or fourth five turn motor but I hear that they are a good compromise between torque and wheel speed. As you may or may not know with brushed motor, I have no clue about brush less, the higher the number of turns the more torque you get but its slower whereas a low turn motor has higher speed but less torque. Again, its all about your driving style and your situational driving conditions Hope I have helped somewhat with my limited knowledge on different brand motors and esc's I just know I like what I run. |

I'm really new- so I'm still figuring out my driving style. I know I don't want to go too fast ( I got a SCTE w/ Pro 4 for that ) - want to keep using 2S. I just wanted to know what my options were. I saw the other Sicky where everyone said what was powering there scx10 but it did not say how they were driving it. And I know there are a lot of different driving styles like you said. I'm meeting some other local crawlers soon so I'll probly know more when I see what others have and what I need to keep up with. |
Re: Choosing a Motor and ESC for my SCX10? Whats up 5volt!! My buddy just picked up this motor TowerHobbies.com | Tekin 35T Pro Hand Wound Rock Crawler Motor And we took it out by san yisdro and it wasent bad at all! I thought it was great from crawling and isnt too slow! I have the same motor but a little different but his is a little faster then mine. The esc that i run is a castle sidewinder. It works great for me but its not waterproof but thats a easy fix! |
