Motor and gearing...

[silversweater]

Rite now I have a axial 20t motor in my scx10 with a mamba max pro esc. Should I get a different motor? It seems unusually slow even for a crawler set up could it be my gearing what gearing do y'all suggest?!

Id run an 80t/20t but that 20t Axial motor isn't going to last very long. They're not known to hold up long. If you're wanting wheel speed get a Tekin 13.5 and run 32p gears at a 54/14 and call it a day. That's just my opinion and i'm sure not everyone will agree. Anyway, have a good one.

Sounds like you have a programming issue with the ESC or binding somewhere. You should have more than enough wheelspeed with a 20T in that thing.

80/20 is what's going to fry that motor. It's not geared low enough for what it's built to do. If you want to stay with that motor until it burns up, try something in the range of 87/15-87/18.
