Default Whats the better motor

for my axial wraith build kit, I would like to get a taking redline brushless censored motor with an RS-5 pro Esc. I don't know what turn to get it in though. I want a decently fast truck but to have lots of torque for crawling also. What turn motor should I get.

I would go with the pro 4 motor in the 3300KV variety on 3s should be a beast. You will probably want to lower you gearing down a bit though to gain back a little of the low speed control.

While this is up,

I was looking a pairing a Tekin motor with an MM Pro in my Wraith with 2 and 3s power.

What is the difference between a Pro 4 and a SC4X series? I realize that they aren't always available in the same KV, but the sizes seem similar, but the SC4X is about $30 cheaper.

Low speed precision is just as important as top end in my case. Gearing in about the 15/80 range with the 43/13 front and rear diff gears sound alright with the 3000ish KV Tekin?

The pro 4 is 540 (size) 4 pole motor and the SC4X is a 550 2 pole motor.
