Motor and Esc compatable?

[DezertCrawler]

I was wondering if someone could tell me if i could use a brushed tekin motor with the novak rooster crawler esc. Sorry if its a stupid question. Just dont wanna buy a motor and it not work. I noticed lots of people use diff brands of motor and esc's. So i just wanted to make sure its okay and wont mess anything up.

Yes you can.

The Rooster will handle any motor down to a 27T on 6 cell NiMH...35T and up on 7 cell NiMH or 2s Lipo.

It sounds like you have the Rooster already, but if not I'd highly recommend going with the Tekin FX-R instead.

Yeah i happen to have the rooster already that i got in a deal. In the future im going to go with a tekin fxr. but atm i just have the rooster. i keep reading negative stuff about. but i already have it. so ima give it ago. thanks for the response man.

That ESC is funny, some people have nothing but good luck with them, others, nothing but bad luck. I haven't had any problems with my Rooster. I used it on my Axial for a long time, now I have it in my scaler and have no problems at all.

The biggest problems I see with it:
• No LiPo cutoff, no big deal, you can add one
• Only rated to 2S, but people run 3S on it
• Large footprint compared to the FXR

True on that, it's hit or miss...seems like more misses though.

Rooster does have Lipo cut off though, in profile 2:
