You will need drivetrain upgrades for that motor for sure.

Would there be a big differnts between the tekin 3300 and the 4000 or 4600.

thanks

As far as speed yes. As far as gearing I'm not sure. I'd probably gear down a little for the faster motors.

Would the 3300 be better for crawling and hauling

Yes.

Tekin RS w/ Castle BEC
Trinity Duo3 17.5 w/ high torque rotor (was heavily raced in a SC truck)
15/87 gearing
Various 3 cell lipos

Very smooth on the low end with more than enough torque to destroy parts, and plenty of wheel speed for trails. This setup ran very cool all sumer long with no problems. Overall I have been very happy with it.

Hows the HH 35t Torque Master Expert working with the factory esc??
What gear ratio would work best for this? I have mine weighted down
so keep that in mind!

Thanks

Mmp An Tekin pro4 12-60 gearing

[douglastee]

Novak Rock Star 35 turns.
C/C BEC.
Axial Stock RTR TX, RX.
18/80 pinion & spur gears
Zippy 2s 4400-30c hardcase.

Rigged up with the cheap stuff for a beginner, but average rock crawl time per week is 2 1/2 to 3 hours, for @ the past six months!

im running mmp esc and tekin 6.5t stock wraith gearing 20/80

[FreakyT333]

Mine is a pretty common set up but what the hey I'll post it up.. I've tried many different combos and this one is definitely #1 for this rig.

Castle MMP esc paired with a CC 10a bec @ 6.8v (Cheat mode- running around 15° boost timing @ 17-30k rpm I believe, have to double check those settings)
Tekin Redline 13.5t sensored brushless motor- geared 80/13
Hitec HS-5998tg Servo
3s 4000mah 25c Traxxas Lipo
Controlled by a Fly Sky GT3B (possibly switching to my DX3S soon to run a winch)

For water/mud running- Traxxas Titan 21t 550 brushed motor on 4s lipos. It still rips with this combo, just not as wicked as the boosted set up on 3s.

I don't see why people need a 4 Pole pro4, this 13.5 on 3s has plenty of drivetrain breaking, smooth crawling torque. With the boost it provides just as much top speed, while staying geared low, allowing longer runtimes than the 4 pole would.. I guess overkill is the cool thing though ;)

It's one of them things "if you have to ask, you'll never know." Now, 2 pole 540's seem like a dog to me. Alright for 1.9 tires, I guess.

Really just not the case. We have several Wraiths in the club and even my 11lb Pro4 beast of a truck is faster than a 8lb plastic framed Wraith on a 13.5.

The torque is much better as well. The advantages are there and are clear after running one. Just expensive to maintain something with all of that behind it.

I can see the obvious benefit if your running a heavy 10lb+ rig that needs the extra mmphh. I shouldn't really say I don't see the need, just that i'm impressed with this 13.5 boosted combo so far, its a powerful ”feeling” set up overall and I see no area that it is lacking at this time.
I'm used to my big 1/8 5&6s powered brushless MT's & Truggy so i'm no stranger to serious 4 Pole power, just doesn't seem like this Wraith is lacking without it.. I should weigh mine though, its probably in the 6-7lb neighborhood fully loaded..
