Brushless advice

[Rowdy_Giff]

Thinking about switching to brushless. I've only run brushed motors on my crawlers, I'm curious to see if I like the way a brushless feels. I have 4 brushless motors from other kits in the past. I have a trinity d3 17.5, Novak 17.5, 21.5, and a 25.5. I see that novak now makes a motor they label as a crawler motor in a 21.5. Would any of the motors that I have be useful for my trail finder 2? I'm not as concerned about wheel speed, I just want to have at least the same amount of torque as a 45 turn brushed motor.

I was running a 2500kv outrunner in mine for quite a while and loved it

I have ran a couple 18.5 brushless crawler motors in a couple Wraiths. I believe the torque is pretty good in my Wraiths, and havent had any issues with heat buildup or power to crawl some major rocks or get through some nasty areas on trails around where Ive trailed them.

I did however also make sure I had added some metal transmission gears, and drivelines as well. So it can transfer the torque to the wheels effectively. I like them alot.

If you go brushless, just figure in making sure your drivelines are up to the power. Its different from brushed. Very different. Also make sure its sensored, so its smooth as possible .

I run the Tenshock 13.5 in my TF2(could use the 21.5 though for more low end) but as is it has PLENTY of power to rip the driveshafts right out when it binds up. and sensored is a MUST with brushless...
