| suggestions for motor and ESC for Score Trophy Truck kit please
I'm just finishing up my yeti score tt kit and it's time for an esc and motor. The only major mod that I have made is the ssd diamond wide rear axle, will be running stock tires and axle gearing. My son has the rtr TT with a 20 tooth pinion on 2s and it's okay for him but a little slow for me. I not concerned about crawling....I want torque and more speed for bashing and just messing around at the local track. I plan on using 2s and 3s. Options that I was considering. brushless sensored: Holmes Hobbies Pro Puller 3500 XL with a Mamba X ESC. brushless non sensored: Unknown motor (please make suggestions) with a Hobbywing ezrun wp sc8 waterproof 120a brushless esc. I know that I can't go wrong with a sensored setup but I wonder if I really need it for bashing...I could put the money saved on upgrades or more batteries. That said, I only want to purchase a motor and esc once. thoughts and feedback appreciated. |

For bashing sensored isn't needed, but doesn't hurt. sensored gives u a smoother startup and better low speed control. on the other hand sensored isn't as good as unsensored at high speed, the diffrence is minimal so u would not mention it. just technical. i personally have an mmx with cc1410 3800kv unsensored. if i have to choose now. i would go with the new mamba X and HH Puller Pro XL 3500kv or cc 1410 3800kv sensored. Cause i like to bash and crawl/trail my little monster. I minimized the disadvantage in crawl trail with the 2 speed option. Last edited by magic_yeti; 03-29-2017 at 12:19 PM. |

I run the HW WP-SC8 with the RTR Vanguard motor on 3s and a 20t pinion. It's plenty fast and has enough low speed control to walk along next to me on a trail. It probably does 30-35mph and can light up all 4 tires on anything but the roughest concrete. If I was doing it again, however, I'd put in the Castle 1512 Chinese knockoff motor I put in my slash. Lots of torque, and on 3s, stays much cooler. Neu-Castle 1512 Castle Creations 1Y 1/8 Brushless Motor (2650kV) CAR BIG SALE!!! | eBay |

You can't go wrong with the HobbyWing SC8.

I went Hobbywing Xerun XR8 SCT Brushless ESC/3660SD G2 Motor Combo (3200kV) w/ my Yeti, so I recommend the same ESC along w/ the 3600kv for the TT. A little more wattage for the smaller tires. Fantastic sensored combo for under 200 bucks. It's the perfect combo for the Yeti platform.

After pondering options and suggestions I just ordered the Holmes Hobbies Pro Puller 3500 XL with a Mamba X ESC. More than I wanted to spend but hopefully this combo is fits my buy once motto.
