|  Brushless motor with ESC
hi guys.. I just got a set of Losi axle for my new scale rig. However, I noticed that the gear ratio is so much slower than axial scx10 axle, and I have to run Losi trans if I run with Losi axle, right? then I also noticed that most people running with brushless system, but I am new with brushles system now, Could anyone tell me which brushless system is good choice for scale rig with Losi axle?  Thanks a lot |

Losi worm gear axles eat brushed motors for breakfast, brushless is best. Is this for a comp rig, scaler or "for fun" bashing?? What battery (likely 2S or 3S LiPO)? |

First forget the word system, IMO mix and match is best. Mamba Max Pro is your best option, the one cell version works also and doesn't have the fan or a BEC and your gonna need a BEC anyways. Any 17.5 or 18.5 motor of any brand will do fine. Depending on your needs your probably gonna need more volts. An 18.5 with a 14mm rotor would pull a house down on 6s if it had the traction, however speed and punch will still be lacking. An Axial with a slow 45t on 3s will smoke a Losi with a 18.5 on 6s in takeoff and top speed in a drag race bad. If you must buy a system Tekin RS is really the only option as Novak ESC's suck and Castle systems aren't sensored. Tekins 3s limit will hold you back and cost more than buying a MMP and motor separate.

i would go for the mamba max pro and either takin 17.5t or 13.5t for more top speed with stock rotors, the high torque rotors slow down these motors to much, while the torque increase is noticable but not needed.

alright...thanks for all the info. I think I will try 17.5 brushless motor first because I don't need that super fast speed in my Wraith, I will make my Wraith as C3 rig now. by the way, I am afraid of breaking hardware stuff, hahahaha |
