Depending on whether strictly crawling or crawl + trail, I'd go with a 12t or 15t. 2S or 3S might also be a factor you'd want to consider.

Then I'd recommend the 12t.

| Re: Can i use holmes trail master motor with stock traxxas esc this is fake news 3 slot motors make more torque than 5 slot the reason we use 5 slot motors is there amazinly smooth start up and low speed control the trade off is less torque the loss of torque is the main reason i go with the 550 sized motor |

It's a problem when people post information in the forum as if they know best, when they do not. A 3-slot motor with the same kv as a 5-slot will spin the tires (lose traction) off the line without very careful throttle application. The 5-slot in the same kv range will creep off the line if provided the same throttle application and be less likely to lose traction. The Holmes Hobbies TrailMaster Sport 550 21t is a great motor if you want immediate power to be able to break the tires free with a blip of the throttle. The Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Sport 550 10t or 12t are best if you want to be able to creep/crawl smoothly from a stop - hence the name. The Holmes Hobbies TrailMaster Sport 550 12t mentioned above is recommended for vehicles like the Traxxas Slash - bashers or high-speed off road vehicles, NOT crawlers. You will likely overheat your electronics if you install a 550 12t motor in a crawler, no matter what the gearing. Have a nice day. |
