A Tekin RS will do the job just perfectly! I'm running the same motor in my scx and my sons wraith. Crawling to bashing and 3s to 4s(if you have a 4s cap).. I have been doin some hard testing lately and I can get nice smooth bottom end crawling and wicked nasty top end! If ur drive train isn't built to bombproof, it will be before to long.. ;) |

I agree with winner. Plus the RS or rs pro are nice and small, and can pretty much fit anywhere you heart desires.

think ill give that one a shot will I need a fan for it also or does it stay pretty cool on its own. how warm is ur motor running. I haven't actual checked the temps but think if I held my fingeure on ot for 10 seconds I might get burned. im using 16t pinion and 56t spur i believe.

WOW!!!!!!!! 56/16!!!!! That's crazy talk... That's a 3.5:1 gear ratio.. I bet you would burn urself. Volt up, gear down! I run a 56/11 gearing. That's a 5.1:1 gear ratio.. HH recommends 5:1 bein the lowest you should go with the brushed motors, so I go with that for All motors.. Could I do 56/12, sure.. But instead, I run 4s.. Loads of torque and pretty dam good speed as well.. ;) I don't run a fan and the RS in my scx is inside the electronics box with the Rx.. No issues. |

I'm running rc4wd 2 SPd, so I'm not applicable to your talk. But my motor stays cool to the touch

Will deff be getting a cple 3s bats. Use the 2s for the boys stampede. This is gonna be my third ESC and don't feel like buying a 4th is the rs pro worth getting over the rs. Or maybe rsx or rx8. This is starting to turn in to an addiction. But love it

I never ran a pro Tekin ESC, fxr or rs. Have ran both styles on 4s and from 45t to a 17t 3 slot motor and 13-16t 5 slot motors. Never saw a need for a fxr pro. I ran the RS's with 13.5t redlines and now the HH trailmaster bl's on 3s-4s.. With a 4s capacitor, of course. I'm now upgrading my Pro4 to a RX8 from a MMP. (Not a castle guy) So if you Want to spend more money on a pro model or a RX8, you can. In my experience, it's not needed. Unless you plan on a Pro4 motor upgrade down the road. Then get the RX8 now. |

Get the rs gen 2 in the mail today. Perfect rainy day to do some more mids to the wraith. For the 3s battery I have mounted up front. Had the take out one of the Cross members to make it fit and made a new that connects the two mounts where the front upper suspension connects. Seems to be solid enough but was wandering how u got urs put in.

I actually cut the side off the batt tray and stood it up in front of the trans. I was able to keep all the bracing intact in the front end.my esc, receiver and BEC sit right in front between the bumper mounts.

No mine is under the good, but right I front of the dash. I had to trim the batt tray and the front of the interior. I also run the rear sway bar and love it! |
