axial scx10 cr edition

[Monster1234]

Hi new to the forum I was wondering if an atomic 35t motor is good for tourque and wwheel speed and if it will run okay on stock spur and pinion gear 2s lipo on my scx10 cr edition tight budget

[afrofroggy]

i would just stick with the stock motor on 3s go easy with it as it will fly

[Monster1234]

See but I don't want it to fly I just wanna smooth rock crawler but with some wheel speed for rock bounce and thank you for response

[nharkey85]

35t on 2s i dont think you will be too excited over. Sure it will move along nicely but it wont have the umph for bouncing.

On 3s just cruise around at 1/2 throttle (or whatever) then when you need more just give it a squeeze.

[Monster1234]

Will a 3s be safe with the AE-2 SPEED CONTROL

[StomperCrawler]

Only with a bec. Check eBay; they're like $5 shipped.

stick with 27t if your staying with 2s. I have noticed that 35t and 15/87 gearing on 3s is a great happy medium for wheel speed and low end control

[Monster1234]

I do like the 27t but for some reason it don't have the tourque I need for the trailing or the smoothness of throttle can your recommend the best motor at a budget price best 3s battery that won't burn up ESC anything that will supply a perfect balance between tourque and wheel speed

There is a huge difference between the stock axial 27t and a holmes hobbies 27t. The HH 27t will have more than enough torque and wheel speed for trailing...any 3s battery is gonna need a BEC for the AE 2 esc....

Do i absolutely need a 3s battery with the HH 27t motor

Man this is painfull yes you can use a 35 turn motor it has more tourque then the 27t i just switched mine out. if its still not enough tourque thn replace the pinin gear, 3 cell is fun but then you have to get a bec and all new batteires if you don't already run 3cell

35t will run with enough tourque on 2s I'm sorry I'm very new to the hobby

[Tom95YJ]

Holmes hobbies makes great motors. I currently run a really old crawlmaster 1000kv brushless outrunner. It's on its last legs currently so I am replacing it with a 35t Holmes torque master when I swing by the hobbyshop in a couple days.

[allanon1965]

U can run a 2s on HH 27t with decent results yes.....but all of these motors really shine on 3s. A 27t on 2s will have better wheel speed than a 35t on 2s...and in my experience..in your situation i would run the HH 27t on 2s and you will see a big improvement over the stock 27t.

Do hobby shops carry bec

If you don't already, get metal gears for your transmission or you will blow them a part in no time. I went through two plastic idler gears on a 27T with 3S in about 15 minutes, not including tear down and reassemble time. If you baby the hell out of your rig, you might be fine, but with a 35T, if you bind up im sure you'll break something.

Hi would i have plenty of tourque to crawl with a 2s lipo and a 35t motor and a 13t steel pinion gear they don't make a steel spur gear for a scx10 I don't think if they do can you tell me where

[Monster1234]

I replaced all my plastic gears with steel now I need a good opinion on a good low tourque pinion gear and will my truck with metal gearing handle a 35t motor and. Or will it handle a 55t motor

[RiderZ]

35 thru 55 turn motor on 3s you will be happy.20 tooth down to 13 tooth would work.I run a 45T motor on 3s with 20/87 gearing.Works!

[StomperCrawler]

I run 3s on a 30k rpm large 550 motor to trail, crawl and climb for hours at a time with stock plastic gears. If not gunning the throttle when it is bound up and not going anywhere anyway means that I "baby it", then I'd better stock up on pampers! LOL Throttle control is key if you're like me and not made of money.
