|  17 turn speed gem? too much?
i would like to build a scale crawler and use a 17 turn speed gems motor. i'm wondering if it would not have enough torque. it's gonna be that or a 35 turn lathe, but i'm not looking for a truck that can climb a wall. it has to be fast too.

Get a 45t lathe that will work well for trail use.

well, when the axial trans and axels are released. i was thinking of using them. for tires, the imex swamp dawngs and rc4wd wheels. around how fast would it go? i'm not looking forward to anything slower than wheely king. and clod guys use 13 turns.  |

I run 65T motor and stock 13T pinions and it's a good combo, 55T would be better for bashing

sounds like the new novak brushless crawler system is what you need if you want a trail truck with speed and torque.

I run a 27T in my scaler. Climbs well and has pretty good wheel speed. Thanks, Casey |

Get a Kyosho Magnatic Mayhem it's a 22 turn, plenty of torque and wheel speed.
