Want NEW MOTOR ... May go Brushless???

[J-Fish]

Im gettin a new motor today after work. I currently have a Integy 55 turn brushed installed on my Losi Comp Crawler. I havnt figured out which one or what kind to get yet. I may go brushless but im affraid a 21.5 turn brushless wont have the torque/pulling power of a 55 or 65 brushed. Someone told me a 21.5 brushless converts to roughly a 37 turn brushed as far as torque goes. And a 37 turn dosent have the torque of a 55 or 65 from what i have learned ..... is this correct? I just want raw slow pulling power (but not too slow) i dont care about too much speed! My rig currently goes only about 3 mph with a 2 cell lipo, 55t brushed motor and a 12 tooth pinion. I do however plan on speeding it up a little. I have a few other pinions to try. So can i get more SLOW PULLING POWER / LOW END TORQUE from a Brushless with a lower turn count then a brushed with a much higher turn count?

A brushless 21.5 will have way more power/torque and speed than a brushed 55t. Get a good sensored 21.5-17.7 system. Like a tekin rs.

So the tekkin rs is the crawler esc and motor combo i need to get? When i called my local hobby shop and asked if they had a tekkin esc for crawloing they didnt know which model i was talking about. What about the FX-R?

The FXR is for brushed motors only.

Ohhhh ok got ya. Dang i wish my local hobby store carried those. Its pricey but im sure its worth it! I may have to order this ...

If you order it from Tower, look for the discount code on the main website....right now they code "011AW" (without the quotes) is good for $30 off of an order of $225 or more...

Get a Mamba Max Pro or the Tekin RS Pro. Then you can run a 21.5 on 4S lipo and have all the torque, power and wheel speed you would ever need.
