1,800 X 14.8 = 26,640 2,300 X 11.1 = 25,530 3,300 X 7.4 = 24,420 So, as far as the numbers go, running the 1800kv on 4s is hotter than running a 2300kv on 3s which is hotter than running a 3300kv Pro4 on 2s...Just to put things into perspective. I would, however, like to think an 1800kv ROC on 4s will atleast be more amp-efficient for crawling than a 3300kv Pro4 on 2s. | |

Hi again Harley! Just about to install my new HH crawl master pro 13t in my wraith, I am running an integy 35t now with 14/88 on 3s and am mostly fine with this set up, however would like some more wheel speed that's why I got a crawl master... I was wondering whether a 16/88 on 3s would work fine with the crawl master 13t and specially if I want good crawling performance.... What do you think? ( sure I can gear down but I am ruining RRP 88t steel gear spur and RRP suggests using hard steel pinion , the smallest I could find is the 16t, if I have to gear it down any further I must use Alu pinion and dunno whether it would work fine with the steel gear spur). Thanks a lot! - slim - |

The 13T Crawlmaster is close to a traditional 3-slot 27T so even if you keep the same gearing you should pick up some wheelspeed. Most important will be to keep your eye on motor temps because a 13T Crawlmaster on 3s seems like a pretty hot brushed setup. | |

You literarily confirmed what I had already thought about the whole thing, but was looking for some tips, I will definitely start with the current gearing and monitor the temp. and see later.. Thanks that helped! - Slim - | |

Running the ROC 2300 on 3s and its both excellent for slow crawling and trail running! 56 spur 11t pinion - super smooth low speed crawling with good WS Just threw on a 14t pinion and it almost has too much scoot but still very precise low speed crawling..not sure on temps because I only tested indoors for a short while. |

| Got mine today. Pretty excited. Only thing I'm worried about is my run time going from brushed to this Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2 Last edited by joshjunior; 04-25-2013 at 04:47 PM. |

Hopefully you plan on taking it easy? The gen2 has an 8.5T 2-pole limit while the regular RS has a 7.5T limit and is already a very iffy ESC for 4-pole motors unless you baby it. I'd have gone for atleast an RS Pro if not the RX8 or even a MMP.

I'm going to go for the 1800kV one. With 4S it'll have a bit more speed but should be smooth for crawling. I already have RR internals in the tranny. I might go for an alloy case later but first I'll see how the plastic one holds up. | |

Like your new avatar! As a 1:1 guy I was in the pits near start / finish that Friday night at KOH in a sponsor spot and didn't understand why there were about 50 or so people at start/finish that late at night when Chip crossed, then I heard his story. Live life! |

Curious about using the traxxas velineon brushless set up. I am only asking because I have two of these laying around. I use it for trails and hill climbing. Like stock piles at construction sites and such

| Re: Choosing a motor and ESC for your Wraith - Gearing Added! I ran it, not a suitable system for the Wraith IMO. Some people have ran them but I didn't find anything good about it for trail use.

I went with a Redline Gen2 17.5T. I'm going to be running 3s, starting with the stock spur and a 15 tooth pinion. I'm hoping 48P gears and the stock tranny are enough to handle short bursts to hop up rock ledges, but I'm not feeling too optimistic. @Harley, I assume your gearing suggestions are pretty loose and should be ultimately determined on a case by case basis, but were they posted with 2s or 3s in mind? |
