|  motor question
I'm looking to get myself a lower turn motor for the WK - ESC says it will take a 15t - thinking about getting the firebolt motor (can pick one up for like $17) to mess around with. How quick am I going to go through gears if I run a 15t in the WK? Should I go with a 20t instead? Right now I'm more into bashing/quick trail driving than crawling...saving up some cash to get the crawler kit for the WK though.

A 15 t motor will be fast but have next to nothing for torque. I ran a traxxas 20 t 550 for a while, it had a good balance between speed and torque. Then I upgraded to 8 cells, huge differance both in speed and torque.

Yep. That's a sweet motor especially on 3s . I use it and a 12t Titan on my honcho and wraith. Working on a new frame so I can use it on my Crawler king.

My trans is clocked 90 degrees and the motor hangs over the side of my custom frame. I'm working on a solid steel frame.

I have the 20t in my wheely king and bash and crawl and I love that you can go slow but pick up speed if you need it. If you dont want tons of speed but enough torgue and slow enough to crawl I would go with the 20t motor.
