Motor choice

[sandrocks]

What is a good motor and esc choice for the xr10 i have been looking at the novak m2 dig esc and some rock star motors dont wanna go too crazy on the price. My limit on price is about 260 or under

I would check out the Harley's XR10 build sticky at the top. The M2 has a lot of issues and for about the same money you could do a dual castle mamba pro setup.

I just did the dual mamba pro setup myself the ESC is $80 X 2 so $160. Then I went with 2x Integy 45t so $20 a piece = $40 there. Total was only $200 and with your budget you could easily do Holmes Hobbies handwounds instead if you wanted a little more high end motors.

My thoughts were I don't mind upgrading motors later on but I wanted to get the best ESC the first time around.

Another ESC option is dual FXR but that will cost you even more. Also this assumes you have a decent radio such as a 4pl.

X2...^^^^^.... Read above!


Radio is the big thing.. what do you have?
Right now I run a fx-r with a punk dig an HH 45t handwounds.. works great! Headed to dual esc tho.. got the esc, waiting on the tx...

I have had excellent results from my Brood HHK/Big Wire 35T motors.
Team Brood Racing :: Crawler Motors :: Handwound Motors :: Creep

Get 2 of these:

Holmes Hobbies - CrawlMaster Pro 540 13 or 16 turn.

And two of these:

Holmes Hobbies - Castle Creations Sidewinder Micro

I got two CC sidewinder micro's and a couple Holmes Hobbies 45T motors at about $202.

I can either run a dx3s or a dx3e

What do you guys think of a holmes hobbies br xl esc with 2 tekin hd 35t motors and a rc4wd dig with a spectrum dx3e or dx3s

[spillproof]

dx3c will work well with the 3 position switch. its in between the two you mention, and most of my club run them. You are limited for upgrading to dual ESC.

I originally planned on a single esc + dig, but after lots of research I decided to go dual sidewinder micro's and a hacked gt3b, with some affordable machine wound team brood 35t's. I am ecstatic with the results. Love the proportional dig. i think I saved money in the long run with my choice.
