Just got a new to me Yeti kit. Has RX8 gen 1 esc, sensorless skyrc toro short course 1/8 motor & stock gears. I'm thinking I'd like to go sensored for more low speed maneuverability but still keep that speed with a 2s or 3s batt. Would a 412ROC be a good choice? Thx for any input, just getting back into the hobby, a lot has changed since I was a kid!

Roc412 or pro4 HD both are great

I would (and did) go with th Pro4HD 3000 over the roc412, I've geared mine 13/64 and zero cogging, smooth as silk. Fits with no trimming, sensor and all

I had the pro 4hd in my yeti. Lots of power. The low end was smooth as butter on a cracker

I have the roc412 in my scx10.II its just as smooth as well. Really cant go wrong with either

Re: Motor recommendation
 

Awesome!!!! Now I just need a pry bar to get that pig in there, lol!!

Re: Motor recommendation
 

On my yeti the pro 4hd is 36x63mm with the sensor wire coming out the back of the motor i did not have to modify the battery tray at all

Plug your sensor wire in then drop in your can. No trimming will be needed

Saw on castles site they have a 2400kv sensored motor to go with the new mamba x esc that would probably be good in a yeti

Re: Motor recommendation
 

New mamba X or new tekin rx4? I want somthing water resistant!!

Mamba x is waterproof except for the fan Im pretty sure. you do however need a special sensor wire with the MMX that you can buy from castle

Re: Motor recommendation
 

Holmes Hobbies sells it in a couple different lengths instead of the castle one that just converts a reg sensor wire to the special MMX one-

5.5"- Sensor Wire 5.5" for Castle Mamba X Series - Wiring & Wiring Accessories - Electronics & Wiring

10.5" - Sensor Wire 10.5" for Castle Mamba X Series - Wiring & Wiring Accessories - Electronics & Wiring

Re: Motor recommendation
 

I thought I had seen something like that somewhere but couldnt remember if I had or if I was just imagining it lol "thumbsup"

Re: Motor recommendation
 

the fans have little bushed motors so no real issue with water.
I have the monster x in my yeti and it gets wet on a regular basis 8)
the fan is still fine and working, just a little wd40 after it gets wet :mrgreen:

What motor with it?
