scale truck power

[emaxxjeremy]

i have another project on the way, a 2.2 scaler. i am looking for power options and opinions. i run a hyperion in my comp rig and it twists and breaks anything it can. i dont need that power in a scaler. i was thinking of the mamba/revolver2, but i may not even go that far and just run a lathe motor. what are most people running in a scale rig?

I'm running a 45t in a wheely king tranny in my Bushwacker.Seems to do pretty well. Has pretty good wheel speed plus enough torque for crawling.I don't have much to compare it to but I like it.I'll be bringing it this weekend so you can check it out.

i have a 35 turn in one and a silver can mabuchi in another the lathe is alot better but it would depend on the scaler a 2.2 scaler will be alot more capable you will want a better motor i just like driving the truck muddin playin on easier trails and light crawlin i think a 1.9 can get away with alot less motor

i run a 55t in my tlt scaler. works great, enough torque, some straight away speed.

i got a mamba max 7700 in my hilift. works great for everything. tons of torque and tons of speed plus "water proof"

I run a 35 turn with a stealth and I like it. Has a little wheel speed when you need it although I do want to try a Mag. Mayhem.

It is what I am running in my C-10 that I had at the last comp. You got a pic of it launching off of that rock.

i got a novak crawler for mine right now but i'll probably go lathe so i'm not so squeemish around water.

If you do any kind of mud you need brushless. I'm liking my cheap GWS brushless motor, and mamba maxx.
