|  Matched Or Mismatched?
Hello all. I've been sporadically crawling for a while now. Most always been with a stock SCX10 II. I lay the shocks down slightly, and call it good lol. With my most recent, I have an Axial RTR 2000 Jeep Cherokee 10 II. Time to go for it and trick its motor, esc, servo, battery, gearing etc. I aim to crawl and connect technical rocks sections. No competition, easy life for my SCX10 II. Mostly a friend and I egging each other on. We do technical pretty good. So... First I have Currie F9 portals on it. The portal reduction made it pretty slow with the stock 35t. Then I put in a stock Axial 27t. Better but still less snap or speed than a stock SCX10 II. Looking for that comp style snap of going slow but able to have some wheel speed... What I have but not run yet (waiting for connectors), is a HW1080 ESC, Savox 1211 steering and a nice (I hope) Reedy Crawler 550 16t 5 slot motor (I also have a HH Trailmaster sport 540 27t for back up). At this point I have 2s batteries. I will upgrade to 3s soon. I am stock geared at 13/56 with my only 'gear change' being the portals. Is this a good match for snappy crawling performance and to keep it running cool? Sorry for the long wind. Thanks. |

Switch to 3S before you do anything more.

Ok, thanks gentlemen. My over driven front F9 portal SCX10 II is performing well going slow. Hopefully a 3s delivers more snap here & there.

The 3s I have on the way is a Protek 120C si-graphene + HV shorty Li-po 11.4v/4100mah. Sounds pretty techie. Fairly budget. My friend has one and he gets 3 + hrs and doesn't drop below 40% with it. Decent battery?

Its a match! The 3s battery pack I just received is the ticket. With the 16t 5 slot & F9 portals (overdriven front) and stock gearing I have a performer, al least for me. Crawls slooow, stay cool and I have an hour plus run time. ...I was worried on heat. Thanks for recommending 3s as I was going to stick with 2s. I'm learning...
