ok worked some overtime over the holidays so now i got some cash to power my honco well after all the reading here all i got was a headache lol i wanted to stay brushless i want to be able to crawl but still have some wheel speed for trails is a 13.5 turn to fast or should i go with the 18.5 or if anyone has a better set up please speak . i was going to go with the holmes water proof blxr but everythings out of stock over there then i was thinking tekin fxr pro brushed but the 35t handwonded is out of stock so i think im going to go novak timbuk 2 please help my heads spinnin out of control

If it was me I would go brushed but if you insist on going brushless I would advise against Novak.

I cant be sure about the Timbuk2 but most of their crawler ESC's (the goat systems) require the use of THEIR motors to enable the crawling features such as drag brake.

That is BS in my book, every other manufacturers ESC's work with any motor...Why limit yourself like that? They say it is because the other motors lack "overheating protection" or something, who cares so disable that feature not some of the main features of the ESC!

If it way my money I would go with a Castle or Tekin ESC so either the MMP or Tekin RS. Pair that with the motor of your choice, something like the new Pro-4 from Tekin would be a killer combo for scale fun.

Cant comment on the correct turn or KV as I havent looked into it much and dont have a brushless scaler. I would browse around in the SCX-10 section and see what people are using in builds. I would guess that something in the 18.5 range would probably be about right but I could be wrong.

+1, that should be a decent set-up for your rig. The FX-R has a lot of options, so it's easy for you to change motors later if you want.
