| Bushless motors for crawling?
I'm trying to get my scaler back up and running after selling off my novak rooster crawler and 55t motor. I now have a mamba max pro that was used in my b44 and was wondering what type of motor I should be looking for? The truck isn't overly heavy (round 5-6lbs) and I'd like a bit more wheel speed than the brushed 55t gave but not as much as an old 27t midnite gave. Suggestions? |

Try a 35t or 45t handwound, with a 3s Good mix of wheel speed and torque, and long run times in a scaler. |

I wasn't aware that brushless motors came in 35 and 45 turn?

they arent, he is referring to a handwound 35t or 45t brushed. if set on brushless look at 13.5-18.5t on 2s to 3s lipo (slower motor more voltage)

It's not that I'm "set on brushless" it's just that I have the brushless controler and don't want to spend 100$+ on a new reversing esc.

just get a good brushed and set the mamba pro to brushed and go or you could run a brushless motor
