Anyone running a 21.5t Turnigy motor in their Scx-10 I would like to know what you think about them as I am thinking of purchasing one as my current brushless is way to fast for how I like to crawl yet I no longer have any brushed ESCs to swap back in for a brushed motor. Best gearing options or just run one stock? Any information or opinions are welcome.

I am running the trackstar turbo with the 21.5 and I love it so far. I just have to be careful because this is my first sensor esc/motor. It is so damn smooth. The programming options are off the charts. Way more than I need to run my trail rig. I guess you are just asking about the motor though. It does not come soldered. Hopefully you or someone you know has a capable set up to deal with that. Honestly that is my only complaint. It seems to be very well made. It has not even got warm during operation. I would definitely recommend both the trackstar turbo 120a esc and the 21.5 trackstar motor from Turnigy. Hope that helps. Any specific questions I can help you out with just let me know.

I've heard good things about the company so I'm sure the motors are good too! "Thumbs up"

So far I am pleased. I only have three or four runs in with this combo. I am in the middle of a complete rebuild. I only had the system for a couple weeks before I tore her down to bare frame.

I dont think ya could go wrong with it. Im running a 8,000mah 2s lipo, swamper 1.9 tsl's , all Robinson gears and diff lockers, and it does great. Good wheel speed and great low speed control.

Why not just gear down your current motor?

Thanks for all info guys I have one on order at the moment. How long do they take for shipping? And gearing down is not really seeming reasonable as the motor i am running is a 7.5t so it pretty much runs too quick no matter what atm.

I ran this cheapie for awhile:
HobbyKing X-Car 13.5 Turn Sensored Brushless Motor 2600Kv

Its a smooth motor, the mmp probably played a large part in that. However it couldn't handle too much of a load, geared down quite a bit and on a higher voltage may improve that.
