Default What motor for my combo?

I have switched from a rooster crawler/55 to a sidewinder & still have the 55 but I need more wheelspeed!

I am thinking a 35t-cheap one for now-till I go lipo,or 45t?
How much of a diff between them?
I run 6 or 7 cell 2/3A packs.

Which cheap motor & what turn should I get ($30 or less)

I have a heavy Edge chassis & heavy Mayhem 2x phattys, so I want something with good torque to move the pig....

Which motor should I get when I go to a 3s lipo? (poss. BL but prefer A REAL NICE BRUSHED MOTOR!) ($75ish)

Why waste the money on a Cheap motor if you plan on upgrading anyway? Save up an extra $20 and get a nice Handwound one.

true.- I just know it will not perform up to its full potential with the batteries I have for now...:? I guess my 55t really isn't either then

I would either get a 35t handwound or a cobalt puller and be done with it.

Yes. Also if you get an unsensored motor in a heavy bind, it may not restart. I've had that happen a couple of times.
