Wraith motor swap

[A7000X]

Hello fellow crawlers,

I have a PS Wraith and am planning on switching out the stock motor for a Holmes Hobbies Crawlmaster Expert 13T. My main question is whether or not the stock ESC can run that particular motor. I have a Castle BEC installed due to running a Savox 1256 servo so that part is out of the way. I appreciate any and all information!

The CrawlMaster 13T is a 5 pole motor so it is approximately equal to a 27T 3 pole motor. The Axial AE2 can handle down to 19 turns so it will work with the CrawlMaster 13T.



AE2 Specifications:
Input Voltage – 6 cell NiCad/NiMH or 2cell lipo**
Size – 1.7″ x 1.24″
Weight – 45 Grams
Motor Limit – 19t
On-Resistance FET – .0018
Rated/Peak Current – 106A Peak
Braking Current – 106A Peak
BEC Voltage – 5.0V/2A Peak
PWM Frequency – 6KHZ
**You can run higher voltage batteries such as a 7 cell NiCad/NiMH or 3 cell lipo with the installation of a “Castle BEC”

Do yourself a favor and get a Castle BEC, if you don't already have one!

My 13t runs great on the stock ESC. Haven't had any problems with 3s and BEC.
