What brushless motor/esc are you running?

[bvrc]

I'm looking into a TH, just curious to see what everyone is running. I didn't see a good concise post about power systems so I thought I'd ask.

[MachtSchnell]

Tekin ROC 412 3100kV on a Tekin Rs
Gearing:
51T 32P Spur Gear
19T 32P Pinion Gear

[TT17]

Im running a Tekin RS Pro and a Tekin Redline 8.5t on stock 2s lipo.
Great set up IMO. I'm running stock gearing and my temps are between 75-110 *F on motor and esc both.

[Blinkfan5150]

My lovely GF got me the dynamite FUZE brushless combo 17.5t ESC and motor (very disappointed in her since TEKIN is on my back window of my Porsche) kept the ESC AND PURCHASED A TEKIN GEN2 10.5T
stock gearing 2cell.

[Jay-Em]

Sensored LRP stock-spec 10.5 t
Stock gearing
Stock 2000mah dynamite batt.
LRP Ai (yeah, I know, but it does it's job)

Plenty fast, yet precise enough to allow a bit of crawling in 1st gear.

[Subytuner]

Mamba Max Pro Tekin 13.5 Sensored on 3s

[MG200]

MMP and Tekin SC4X 7.5
Stock spur with 20T pinion.

[cobrawes]

I mostly bash, very little crawling. MMP with a Tekin Gen 2 10.5 on 3s. Stock gearing, plenty fast and runs cool, less than 100 on the motor.

[CodyCrawler]

Novak Goat 3s Sensored
Novak Goat 18.5 T Brushless
Stock spur and Stock 28t pinion.

I love this set up. It crawls awesome, never gets hot, and will still clear a 5-6 ft jump. 15-18 mph top speed if i had to guess. It has great punch and no cogging when crawling.

MMP and a Turnigy trackstar 10.5t. 3250 kv sensored on 2s



Love it.. Runs cool to cold and wheelies anywhere I get traction, plus its silky smooth at a snails pace too.

I'm glad to hear someone is using a turnigy motor. I've thought about ordering one for a while now but haven't really heard about anyone using one. You sound pretty happy over all. How long have you been using it?

[madkawi650]

I only had it in the hammer for about 5 2200mah 2s packs, but it was in the Wraith before that . Probably 10 5000mah 2s packs. I did have it wrapped in a home made pantyhose sleeve ( don't laugh.. It works great and is cheap) to keep the dust and dirt out. I was concerned because the motor can is a very open type design.. Gonna look into a real motor shroud because I keep getting a run in my hose. Haha

I didn't buy it for this purpose.. I bought it because I was curious a out its build quality and I had some weight left in the box on a Hobby King order so I thought for $30 I try it in the slash 4x4. Sold the slash and never did try it.
Initial quality excellent, it really looks and feels like a high dollar motor.
Only time will tell if it stands up.

[axial 4x4 crawler]

what about castle creations? they make a sidewinder 3 that is water-proof, cheap(price ways). and they have up to a 7700 kv motor but I recommend getting the 5700 kv, and get this I saw a race between two guys and one had the tekin sc4 motor (7.5 turn 550 motor) with a rx8 and the other guy had a castle creations sidewinder 3 with a 5700 motor and that castle creations truck was right behind that tekin, they almost tied, but the tekin was a tad faster. Yes it is real. And don't get on me about "bad-mouthing" tekin because they are the only thing I use in my rigs I have a tekin rs/13.5 t and a tekin fx-r/35 t and for your information I am buying a new tekin 10.5 turn redline motor tomorrow. cant wait! Lol

I am also going to try this setup.

[wlsmoku]

Velineon vxl system on stock gears and 2s. Runs great and a pretty cheap and easy setup to come across

[SwampDawg]

in my wraith im running a Tekin 13.5t off a MMP (32p spur/pinion) but it seems the other wraith i just built for my son hsa better bottom end off the same ESC exception being a stock spur andd 18t pinion. im almost debabating on installing the same 19t brushed mayhem motor in my rig?

[tmaxxdout]

I'm running a vxl setup stock gearing on 2s and 3s want to get a mamba max to throw in it with the vxl motor(same setup that's in my honcho)

[greengoblin]

Castle element 3900kv on 2s

[xCoolHandLukex]

Castle SV3 with the 4600kv motor. I really like the setup for what I wanted to build. I wanted a FoFF basher/ trail rig.
PROs
-under $100
- waterproof
-programmable
-castle reliability
-alot faster than stock

CONs
-not as good for crawling as a brushed motor or sensored brushless, but I don't think it's too bad I'm not trying to make this into a crawler
-there are more powerful systems out there, that said I'm not a fan of guys with rigs so powerful they constantly pull throttle flips

Castle Creations SCT Combo with BEC
MMP with 1410 3800kv 4-pole 2 and 3 cell
