Default motor suggestion 1/6 willys

Just a quick survey of what motors you willys guys are running. I have seen some people run 35t, 55t, 80t, brushless, pullers etc but what seems to be the most successful setup?

Great question as I was curious also especially with these being in the 10+ lb range

I had an 80t but it just didn't have enough wheel spin. Even my 55t may need to be swapped out for a 35t, as it has very little wheel speed with the 2:1 disruptor transfer case.

10t Cobalt Puller works for me. A good combination of controllable low-end grunt and good wheel-speed on 3s...

Don't go brushless if you want slow controlled descents.

I was thinking about a 35 turn holmes torquemaster but I am worried about having enough torque. I am going to use a built axial tranny hooked to the 2 to 1 rc4wd transfer case with a 3s.

Find a 550 size motor. Added torque for those big things.

I run a HH Torque Master on 3s, there's PLENTY of torque on tap. If I get the wheels bound up badly, I can easily snap axle shafts. My pig weighs in at 14 lbs.
