Thanks Harley!
In hindsight I should have been taking notes, or at least noting which posts pertained to my needs...
MMP ESC, Tekin Redline 13.5... Cheers to a fun build and a fun to drive RC!!!
So much information to take in. I've found some solid advice on water proofing too!
Cheers

I am going to be running a HH TM Pro 35T/BRXL in my Wraith, mostly 3S, but on 32p gears. What might be a good starting point?
The info you need is on the first page. "thumbsup"

Ive seen a few people running the castle creation sensorless motor, are they good or bad i know everywhere says get sensored but i dont know much about brushless at all, except for what i have read on here, so whats the difference in sensorless
We say to get a sensored for a reason. Sensorless is useless for anything except full on fast running.

Thanks man thats what i thought, also what is required to swap to 32p gears, is it as simple as just swap the pinion & spur?
Yup, just bolts on.

Harley,
Just for clarification, I'm going to use a RR 15 pinion (32 pitch) and a Kimbrough 60 spur as per your previous post (#4) staying 4:1... I should be rockin-n-rollin' - stay tuned for my build thread!!! Sometime after Dec 25th!
Thanks again,
Todd

Harley,
Can you suggest a better gearing for tekin RS + tekin 17.5 combo?
Right now i'm running 87/20 in it..
Like this combo so far, wondering if i should put better gear on it..

Your gearing is already about right. Watch your temps and if it gets hot then drop down on the pinion.
Make sure you waterproof it all.

I had to google what meant :ror:
OK I know the 12t Traxxas isn't the greatest choice out there for a wraith.BUT...Has anyone tried one with stock spur and a 14 tooth pinion on the stock ESC? Or if some would know how it would work out let me know.I'd like to know how it did on low and top end please...thanks guys.
OK I think I may have the hang of the gearing thing now.....LOL maybe....
So if I run an 80/14 combo that would make it 5.714 to 1. That would give it more torque. but less top end. but with the Traxxas 12t I would gain some of the top end back. Am I even in the pall park???LOL
You are on the right track. The only problem may be that you probably can't get the 14t to mesh with the stock spur. I don't think there is enough adjustment in the motor plate or clearance between the case and motor can. You'll have to increase the spur size.
OK.. I have a 87, and a 84 spurs. so 84/14 is 6 to 1. Because if I use the 84/20 it's still around the 4.2 to 1.So that's a no go.Will an 87 still fit behind the stock spur cover? If so...Should I go with the 87/14 for the 6.21 to 1?
Yes an 87 will fit. 6:1 is a good number probably with that 12t.
