Default Leopard BL motors, any good for crawling?

Ok so I seen the leopard brushless motors for real cheap online, my question is are they good for a 8lb wraith? I can wait 4-6wks. for a $55 BL motor that has decent specs if they are worth the bread or are they just a pile of dung

Leopard makes good motors. They are popular in the fast electric boat world and I have a 4 pole 3674 Leopard in my boat.

No BL inrunner motor is very good for crawling unless it is sensored.

Leopard makes sensored motors, but the $55 one you were looking at is prolly not one of them.
