That is a great setup. Maybe even a 35t handwound for wheel speed. But if you have the 45t and rooster use it, it will work great and you dont have to waste money on new junk.

In a scaler (or any rig) space becomes important. The fxr is tiny and will allow 3 cell lipos for a smaller more powerful battery. Plus it's a great esc. Then a good 35t motor will keep ya happy for a long time.

You guys are going to think I am nuts. I am going to be running an XL-5 and 12t Slash motor geared 20/54. According to my math sheet >>here<< I should be able to get about 25 out of my SCX-10 on 7 cell NiMh. I just need to keep an eye on temps and make sure that I don't over heat. After all, even though its a scaler, its still just an RC car and I can do with it as I please.

The reason for the small spur gear is to ensure that I can hide the transmission under the interior. Hopefully this will all work out. Keep your eyes open for a build coming up next month or two. I will have lots of free time soon.

I went with the FXR, 35t Warrior R, Spectrum SR3000 reciever, and older DX3 radio. I haven't done the lipo thing yet but am pretty happy even with a stick pack so far.

I don't know how much slower the 45t is compared to my 35t but if my SCX was any slower than it is now, I don't think I would like it as much. It has plenty of control at slow speeds and is much faster than walking pace at full speed with only a stick pack.

Hi all , if I want my SCX 10 to run fast like a off road rally truck , what ESC and how many turn motor should I use? (Brushless motor) Running on Lipo.

And will it spoilt the transmission if I run it too fast?

Thanks

Mamba 4600 has great wheel speed. You just have to make sure you build everything to be tough enough. Such as knuckles, C's, driveshafts, and body mounts.
