I need to know how many amps the stock motors will pull

Does anyone know the amp draw for the rs10 motors?

I am not sure how many amps but I think mine is between 2-3 based on run time. I run a 7.2v 5000 sub c pack. It will run about 2 hours of hard rock crawling. So 5000mah x 60 min = 300,000/1000 = 300/2.5 amps = 120/ 60 min = 2 hours. I run Redcat stock motors and 8t pinion Novak Esc. Hope this helps a little.

That's a good start. Thanks for the info. I was thinking it should be something like that just wanted some backup before I order batteries.

I have ordered mine from http://www.onlybatterypacks.com/main.asp and shipping was about 4 days and prices are good.

While this is correct for AVERAGE amp draw, your motors can draw considerably more at an instant in time. If you need this info to base a decision to buy an esc, consider that when its not climbing the motors will draw very little, as the load increases so will the amp draw. If you really want a good approxamation for PEAK amp draw you should use a clamp on ammeter or "amp meter" and try to stall it full throttle (use your hands to hold the tires or something). This will tell you how much current the motors can draw from that battery pack. This number will change with different battery packs as well. Hope it helps.
