What motor is everyone using?
 

I'm thinking about a new motor for my U4 styled Wraith. I'm using an MMP and have tried a sensored Tekin 13.5, as well as a sensored 13.5 Ballistic crawler motor.

I am wanting something with a little more torque as this rig weighs in right at 10lbs. It's built with VP lockers, UD gears, VVD's, RR trans, no slipper, 32p gearing, and MIP's.

I don't want crazy power, just more wheel speed, torque, and the ability to still do some G6 style crawling without overheating it.

So, what does everyone recommend? Looking to stay BL and sensored.

Tekin of course... I run a tekin rx8 with a pro4 in my u4 wraith and a I run a lrp x12 4.5 turn in my yeti and run a rx8 in it as well.. Then it's all about the gearing....

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Tekin hands down, ROC 412 3100Kv, or if you want trans snapping torque an HD Pro4.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Anyone have any experiance with the Pro4 or 412 at crawling speeds?

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Pro 4 3300 is a great motor for all your wanting Great speed and crawls great to

Thanks.

Rich Boltz has won almost every event running:

That non-sensored setup probably doesn't do so well going slow does it?

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

So what are the differences between the roc412 and the pro4?

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

pro 4 has a 5mm shaft and more topend

I'm running a tekin redline 13.5 in my u4rc rig.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

In my Sexo. I found the HH Trailmaster to be nicer, all-around, then the Pro4.. It has more torque, smoother crawling, and some good wheel speed(20mph)! Tho it wasn't as fast as my 4000kv(of course)
I just swapped in a 3500kv HD and just got the beadlock rings to get tires mounted back on it. It's on EVO tracks right now.

I have a 3000kv HD in my Yeti. It's working pretty good so far. No complaints on heat, crawling, or the 30mph top end!

New HH Trailmaster coming in to test out against it. So we shall see.. [emoji106]

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

What battery are you running the HD motors on? I'm thinking about the 3500HD for my rig

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Hey Jake! All the above mentioned are run on 4s..

Best results/longevity out of the Trailmaster, so far..

Only a couple packs on the 3500kv HD so far.

EDIT: The 3000kv HD is putting out 30mph in the Yeti..

I'll get tires on the Sexo and GPS the speed of that.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Interesting about the HH motor. I might have to look into it more, I want a different motor.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Im running a MMP paired with a tekin ROC412 3100kv on 3S

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

The TrailMaster BL would make a pretty big difference over a normal racing motor without getting too porky.

If you want a bigger kick in the pants I have the Puller Pro BL 540XL sensored four pole coming in about 6 weeks. It is 63mm long, same as the stock yeti motor but with a bit more stator and magnet length crammed inside.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

Sounds like a winner!"thumbsup" love my tekin setup.. But my one rig that has the Holmes setup is unstoppable.. Might step it up to a Holmes brushless in the yeti in 6 or so weeks....:mrgreen:

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

I've put it through paces in my yeti, I really like the speed boost and it can run on 4s as well. Runs pretty cool on stock gearing with 3s, cooler than the stock motor from my testing so far.

Re: What motor is everyone using?
 

So which motor of yours would you compare to the roc412 3100 or the pro4 on 3s?
