looking to get a motor and esc. was told to get a hand wound motor and right now but they said a 55 but i would like to have my crawler have some speed like 8 to 10mph but still very good at crawling. I have a wreckluse. i was thinking a 45 but like some imput from others with wreckluse. also i heard novak is a good ecm but im open ears.

You could also look into a CC Sidewinder or a HH TorqueMaster BR-XL

Breatholdiveri · 11-25-2009, 12:00 AM

It is my favorite by far and I am sure there are alot of people that agree. Just stay away from novak combos. They have been known to go up in flames right out of the box.

pontiacfreak · 11-25-2009, 12:21 AM

ok i will stay away from them. so what is the different if motor is hand wound?

Breatholdiveri · 11-25-2009, 12:32 AM

More power and just a better quality motor all around. The HH torquemaster is just a sweet motor. 35t will give you good wheel speed especially with a 3s lipo but is still a very capable crawler. even a 40-45t might suit you well.

pontiacfreak · 11-25-2009, 12:50 AM

what is difference between a 35, 45, 55 motors? would say a 35 have more torque and a 55 be faster?

Breatholdiveri · 11-25-2009, 01:29 AM

Other way around, lower the turn the faster the speed. Higher the turn the more torque.

pontiacfreak · 11-25-2009, 01:38 AM

ok, well i got a Integy 55t motor off ebay for 15 bucks so if if nothing else is a spare. but I think I run it and see if i like how fast it goes and go from there. After i will spend the money on handwound 35 or 45. also what more benifits other then draining wallet is a brushless do?

Breatholdiveri · 11-25-2009, 01:51 AM

I have only had one brushless in a road car and don't know much about them. I do know they are no good for scale trucks and am pretty sure you have to keep them dry where as a brushed you can run under water just have to try to avoid getting too much dirt in there. Don't quote me on that though.

pontiacfreak · 11-25-2009, 01:54 AM

ok, well thats good then i wont have to spend more money. i guess i will have to decide witch esc i want to get as im making a list of things i need to order unless i find deals on used stuff. who seems to be cheapest on parts and shipping? i have looked at hpp some

Breatholdiveri · 11-25-2009, 02:07 AM

I try to get everything through RPP. If they don't have it, give Corey a call and see if there is anything he can do. He goes above and beyond, ships super fast and is a great guy. Im gonna get some sleep since it is 4am but feel free to shoot me a pm if there is anything I can help you with. Can't beat his prices either!

pontiacfreak · 11-25-2009, 02:14 AM

yeah thanks for all the help

might of got off the wrong foot with each other...but do you have links to prove your statement....I have 2 of the rooster crawlers and love them...guy here had a fxr it to toasted itself with in the first 5 minutes of running. So if you could post them that would be great......

Wild Snapper · 11-26-2009, 07:43 AM

Roosters are like tanks. I'd to met the people that blew those up, they must have been running 3s lipos or something bad like. The FX-R is a great speed control.

Breatholdiveri · 11-26-2009, 09:15 AM

Sorry I wasn't clear enough guys, it was the novak motors that went up. I don't know how often it has happened to other people but a buddy of mine has had it happen more than once and one of his buddies went up right out of the box in his living room. I was going to go with the rooster/novak but after hearing that changed my mind.

Squached, didn't mean to get off on the wrong foot man. I just didn't think my comment was that big of a deal.
