I would pass . I had a pair on my 10 with a 10/9 pinion combo . Had about half the wheelspeed of my stock 380s , and the torque was nothing to brag about. If you were already modded for 540's and had em lying around I would say drop em in , but I wouldnt buy em again. You can get a pair of 35t lathes for the same price way more wheelspeed and torque.

X2. I got some integy 55turn motors. They have great torque but I lost alot of wheel speed. 3s lipo solved that. Once you get 540s in there you'll wonder why redcat even bothered with 380's.

I bet. I may get a pair of novak 45's or some rc4wd 50t's prolly go the cheap route first, to close to christmas to be spending money on myself.

i bought the rc4wd cheap ones 55t. wishing i would have got the 45t for a little more wheel speed. I have the sttel gears so i dont think it would be an issue there.

it's either the cheepos or a pair of 85t integy lathe motors *ponders* 85t isn't that like having a super low geared transmission? I don't fully understand wat the turns mean

Higher the number, the more torque...lower the number, the more wheelspeed. For example...35 turn = faster; 85 turn = slower. A 55 turn motor would be a good balance, but if you wanted to go a tad faster a 35 or 45 turn would be good.

no need for 85t in a rs10 at all. You will hate the slowness unless your running 3s lipo. You dont want to go over 55t with that rig and I suggest 35t still very crawlable motor plus you can jump your rig across gaps on 2s. I run 55ts in my 10lb clod and its so/so but I cant pop the wheels off the ground.
