Confused on which SSD transmission to go with.

[richar43]

I have BMRC IFS kit installed on my wraith, and have the following setup.
Gearing
13t/56t
Castle SW3
1410 3800 kv castle motor
lipo is 2s2p 7000 mah
Running 1.9 tires and rims.

What I am wanting to accomplish is the following.
Have the ability to crawl as needed, and speed when I want it.
Not sure if I want to use the 2 speed SSD transmission or the high ratio transmission.

Wow,
75 views and not a single peep or info....

That is not a sensored setup, correct? I was kicking around the ssd 2 speed for my own wraith, but ultimately decided on the ssd hi ratio. I run a 3400kv sensored setup geared 19/54 on 4s. Mine is definitely not a good crawling setup, but it boogies in the sand! The 2 speed has the same hi gear as the hi ratio trans, and the extremely low 1st gear would probably allow crawling speeds on a non-sensored brushless setup.

Check this out: R/C Calculations

Thanks for the input.

Only suggestion I've got inlvolve leaving the trans & gearing exactly as is,
Sell the 2s, SW3 & 1410 (unless it's the newer sensored version)
Get 3s, (I'd suggest 2x 3500mah rather than a stinking great 7000 brick) & a sensored motor esc combo (Castle Mamba X, Holmes, Tekin, Hobbywing)

I'm with altd896. I have a SW3/4600kv setup in my RC10 and I was going to install it in the wraith but realized it would be a wasted effort. It's too much motor and the low speed response would be horrible. I ended up buying a castle crawler sensored 3600kv and a mamba X and couldn't be happier. Low speed crawling is great and it really gets up and moves.

I have a full metal trans and am running bushings on the pinions. Just keep an eye on the bushings and replace when they get sloppy.

ok, boy that just throws even more info into the mix. now trying to sell the setup... lol
