Default Motors for no high wheel speed crawling?

Hey guys. I will be picking up my rock force on boxing day, and I was wondering, If im not looking for alot of wheelspeed what motor would you guys sugest.

I have built a RF for my LHS with a tamiya silver can just so it can be driven, and i would have liked a bit more grunt on the bottom end, as whell as some better low speed control.

I was thinking of using a reedy 27t with an FX-R, or maby a goat system with an 18.5 motor on it, both powered by only a 2s 3300mha lipo with a 25c discharge and a 35c burst rate. Since you guys have been playing with motors and gearing I thought I would ask your opinion, any help would be great.

The lowspeed gearset is extremely precise at low speeds with the 55T I tested with. It is pretty slow though. Try experimenting with 35T and different pinions until you find your sweet spot.

Let us know what you decide you like!

David, you didn't happen to try a 27t motor in your testing yet did you?

If you liked the wheelspeed of the Tamiya, which is a 27 turn motor, you can go from there. Using something more quality than a Tamiya silver can will give you better slow speed control and more grunt.
