| Crawler Brushless setup
I have a Poison Spider Wraith (Stock electronics) and have been considering going with a brushless setup on the truck. I am new to the hobby and wondering what the pros and cons are with a brushless system. Could you all weigh in a bit about what it would take to go brushless and possibly links to products that I should consider? Thanks!

Thank you for linking that to me! I don't know how I missed that thread since it is stickied to the page lol. After reading that thread I will definitely be staying with a brushed system for the crawling aspect. Do you or anyone else have any speed comparisons to speak of? I was planning on going full crawler with a 45T but Harley recommends a 13T crawler motor. Will the 45T make my wraith snail slow?

Get a 21t Titan 550 it's a very impressive motor with gobs of torque and great speed as well I run my gearing at 87/18 and the motor never breaks a sweat.

Its a good motor. I use one in my scx10. In my wraith I have a MMP and hobbywing 3656sd sensored motor. Works real well crawling and has some nice top end. But I do alot of trailing too. I have the 4000kv but a 3400kv brushless would suit well for crawling. As long as its sensored.. |

Get a tekin roc 412 3100KV with a tekin rs and it'll have axle snapping torque.

What does "sensored" mean in terms of a brushed motor?

Sensored is for brushless motors if you go brushless you want sensored as it is much smoother and controllable at low rpms

Oh ok thanks for that info! I think I will probably stick with a brushed system due to the cost of moving into the brushless set up. Is the stock Axial AE-2 ESC a decent ESC to stick with for the long haul?
