Default Brushless motor sugestions?

Ok so i picked up my Ax10 kit, tossed in my emaxx electronics:
hs-645,traxxas reciever, and my HV-Maxx... only problem is my HV-maxx is soo long, half the motor sticks out past the skid plate and takes a beating!
i currently have a cover for it, but it is also getting in the way of the uper link bolt. So if i where to sell my BL motor, and use my HV-Maxx ESC, what is the BEST Brushless motor i could get for this beast? Was looking at the 21.5 turn or 18.5 turn Novak Goat motor.

Are you planning on competing?

If not, an outrunner motor is the best brushless config for crawlers. I run this in my rig and it's a blast!!

I'm planning on going w/ a larger motor later on. If paired up w/ a great BL ESC, outrunners are quite nice. I have way more torque in my little motor than my buddies' 55t brushed motors.


I run it w/ this ESC: http://www.quarkbrushless.com/pro_carcontrol_65a.htm

The 33A Car would be a nicely combo. The only reason I went w/ the 65A was because I was thinking of going 4S or 5S lipo...

As for a brushless motor, I would pick an outrunner motor over an inrunner motor.

The best to my knowledge, Novak does not have an outrunner motor. All their brushless motors are inrunner. If I had to pick between 21.5T or 18.5T sensored brushless from Novak, I would pick the 21.5T. The 18.5T had too much wheel speed for my taste.

An outrunner will generally have more torque than an inrunner motor of the same size.
