Default Motor choices...Added spares list...

So with losi's latest push back I'm not waiting for the losi...i'll buy one when it finally comes out.

Anyway, I'm buying the creeper kit and a set of HB rovers to go with it. I also will need a new ESC and motor...hense the post. This will not be a comp rig... I'm looking more for good low end pull for cralwing the NV desert/rocks and nice wheel speed for... lets call it "slow bashing" I'm willing to give up a bit of low end for a bit more top end but not much. after much research the ESC will be the tekin FXR. My only ? is what motor... I can get the FXR with tekins 35t 45t or 55t for $99.99...what one would suit my needs best for now?

I'll be running 3S 1500-2200 packs that I already have for my heli's for now... I have a metric shit ton of them so why not. I have all the other needed radio gear...RX, MG servos, CC BEC's and a couple of TX's... 3PM and 3PK... I may just toss the creeper on a futaba 9C that I have a ground modual for so I can take advantage of ALL the function that the creeper will allow... being a heli/airplane guy I'm use to flipping 10 switches before I hit the throttle


Edit to add:

After a bunch of reading I also ordered some spares....
Full set of links
couple of short and long axles
C's and wheel hubs
Ring/pinion set
Diff gears
diff lock rings
diff case

If I break a center shaft I have some pede shafts I can use... anything I missed for "must have"spares?

I have the fxr with the tekin 45t motor and it has tons of torque and pretty good wheel speed, but if your going to do alot of "slow bashing" the 35t might suit you better with stock gearing.

Yes, you want to run the 35t. You'll have plenty of tourqe and great wheel speed.
