Any thoughts on the TRAILMASTER PRO 540 BRUSHLESS ROCK CRAWLER MOTOR for a scx10ii?Also what ESC would you pair it with?

I've run their Puller pro but not the Trailmaster. They make great motors whether their high end or more affordable offerings.

As for an ESC I know 10 people will chime in to say a HW 1080, its a great ESC for the price but personally I want more adjustment and finesse and I absolutely love the Mamba micro X (crawler version) but it will cost more. Another plus for the micro X is the Aux wire function that allows you to use a switch on your radio to adjust drag brake (or a handful of other settings) on the fly. The active freewheeling on the micro X is amazing for downhill control, it uses the drag brake while you are on the throttle (going slow only) to keep it from running away downhill.

EDIT: I forgot the 1080 is brushed only so I'm not sure where the budget option would be.

Run the Holmes Torque Master in 2 different Axial based crawlers. I use the HW 1080 also in both they are at a price that is easy on the wallet. I have had very good luck with no problems with either.
