Im running 2.2s, scx10. I know that I want CRAZY amounts of torque and wheelspeed that also crawls well, I know I know. I was thinking t8 1350kv, pro4, or redline 13.5t? Any insight would be appreciated

sweli · 12-25-2011, 07:33 PM

On 2s or 3s?

What about a crazy FAT, outrunner in the 1300kv range? I have an A30-8XL 1100kv that had a lot of grunt and decent speed on 3s.
Personally I like old school Astro-Flight cobalt 05, in the 10-13turn range.

Modern day version would be the Holmes Hobbies puller.

I really want to go brushless and was thinking 6s.

War Pig · 12-25-2011, 09:32 PM

I'd recommend the 3300kv Pro4 on 3s. It'll have as much power as you need and crawls nice. 6s is so 2010.

mud digger · 12-25-2011, 11:04 PM

What would be the best esc with the pro4?

War Pig · 12-25-2011, 11:08 PM

I like the Tekin RS Pro, but I've seen it run with great success with a Mamba Max Pro. Having the auto lipo recognition with the MMP is really nice, plus it's almost $100 cheaper.

mud digger · 12-26-2011, 12:19 AM

What about the rs pro VS. rx8?

JasonW · 12-26-2011, 12:32 AM

I had 5700kv on my origional sidewinder brushless kit and it is nuts especially on 3s really to much. It would slam a 8 pound tubber on its rear on flat land easy even at 50 percent it had more than any other setup I had seen gave.

JasonW · 12-26-2011, 12:34 AM

It would break stuff real quick and lay black marks on black top.

mud digger · 12-26-2011, 12:09 PM

Reacon,
How did that 5700kv crawl at 100% power? I imagine not very well with a axial tranny?

6s and a T-8 Thats why I dont see that combo anymore. It lost its yuppie appeal. lol

Tim has hit the nail on the head. You would not be disappointed with this set up.

Way to much power, it was too much on the wraith, and 8 pound rig, and an scx10. It was to much for it not crawling the front wheels wouldn't stay on the ground.

Rootar · 12-26-2011, 01:42 PM

my new 4000kv pro4 crawls as well as a redline 13.5 with a torqur rotor yet has nearly twice the wheel speed.

I've heard that the RX8 doesn't have the low end resolution that the RS Pro and MMP have, but I haven't tried it first hand. Tekin will tell you that the RX8 is the proper ESC for the Pro4.

mud digger · 12-26-2011, 03:25 PM

I think I'll go with the 3300kv pro4

I've heard that the MMP doesn't crawl as well as a tekin. Is this true? If so which tekin esc should I get?

mud digger · 12-26-2011, 03:46 PM

Alright, going to Tammies tomorrow. Would the rs pro possibly have a heat problem with the pro4? Is that why tekin recommends it with the rx8?

kmoore · 12-26-2011, 03:52 PM

My buddy runs a wraith with a mmp and a pro4 3300. Never had an issue. Crawls and has plenty of speed. Here is a link to his build.

Another wraith.

Don't think that is an issue. I just think the RS Pro has a little bit more mid range and top end than the MMP....everything just seems to work a little smoother.

I have talked to Tekin about that. They said that if you're running the RS Pro at half throttle or below (with a few full throttle passes) that it would be fine. It's when you are running the Pro4 in a short course truck and you're pushing it at 3/4 to full throttle for 15 minutes at a time that you'll get into trouble. The RS Pro just isn't designed for that. That being said....they still recommend the RX8 with the Pro4

.

My recommendation is to get the RS Pro if you can afford to spend the extra $75. If you're on a little more of a budget, get the MMP. You'll be happy either way.

eric113 · 12-26-2011, 06:16 PM

From what I read about Tekin and castle esc's .. is that castle has smooth low end resolution. But Tekin is faster.
