| RC4WD Beast II motor choice
What motor would you advise to get for the RC4WD Beast II? I'm mainly planning to run it on 2S lipo only but not ruling out going 3S. I've narrowed my choice down to the following: Brushed - Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Sport 550 12t or 15t with Hobbywing 1080 esc Brushless - Hobbywing Fusion 1200kv or 1800kv |

I have the Crawlmaster 13T on a TRX-4 which is on the heavy side and the performance is very good. I'd imagine this rig shoud be a bit lighter? Drag brake is not rock solid, but it's OK most of the times. Speed is not too much, even with the 2 speed TRX-4 and torque seems to be just enough. Actuallyy I got the 15T to replace it when it gets past it's days, because I fe,t I didn't need so much speed. The fusion seems to be a good combo. I have the Axe R2 in another rig, and really like the FOC feature. Just make sure that it will fit the rig, because it's longer than the average motor. |

In my first Beast II kit, I ran a HW 1080 esc & Yeah Racing 540 45t brushed motor which was a good setup. I'm leaning towards a brushed setup again with a HW 1080 esc & a Holmes Hobbies motor, just need to decide on the motor. I'm hoping the CrawlMaster Sport 550 will fit, if not, I will go for the CrawlMaster Sport 540 13t or 16t. |

I ended up going for the Holmes Hobbies CrawlMaster Sport 550 15t, I had to grind away a small part of the cab so the motor tabs would clear |
