Choosing a motor and ESC for your Wraith - Gearing Added!

axial 4x4 crawler
Rock Crawler
Here is my wraith with the motor/esc set-up I am running:
- Tekin rs with 10.5t brushless gen2 tekin motor
- Venom 3s 11.1 5000mah 50c lipo
- 10amp B.E.C. from castle creations
- Futaba p-mx 3-channel system
- High current fan over the esc (don't know what brand)
- Hitec HS-7980TH servo with 611 oz. of torque
That's my electrical system in my wraith, I didn't name everything or all of my upgrades because it would be to long. So, yes my wraith is a basher not a crawler and is a year old this month that's when I bought it. So its a powerful wraith but is very abused it is scratched up really bad and is very dusty from offroading in dry dirt so its in rough shape, but what am I kidding its an axial wraith it can handle the abuse, Lol. - axial 4x4 crawler

I don't understand your questions. What are you trying to figure out?
Huge difference in price and performance.
The RX8 is not needed, get a Mamba Max Pro, more affordable.
The ROC412 3100 KV is my current motor of choice. The 4 pole has much more power than the 2 pole 13.5.
mmp with that motor sounds grate thanks
That info is all available on the first page of this thread and the Beginners guide.
2 or 3s is up to you. BEC is always needed on 3s and some servos will require a BEC even on 2s.
Please read the first pages of these threads first.
hi everyone
I posted a question on the electronic section but think I can get more response if I post the link to it here - since my build is a wraith
this is in regards to a mamba max pro and pro4hd motor
all new
battery is lipo 2s 4000c
verify abc is connected correctly
using 4pks and have throttle on reverse
the problem is the motor seems to not work. It stutter (2-4 sec) and than stop and reverse nothing happen
call castle and they said the mamba max pro is ok
call tekin and the tech guy said the pro4hd is pulling too much amp that the mamba max pro can't handle - which I think is incorrect
anyway can someone have a look at my thread and help me out
this is following Harley suggestion for my wraith to use the mamba max pro and pro4 - which I thought work -so when tekin told me that I thought that was weird hence I post this to you all
here's the link to my post - which include the castle report of the esc using castle link
thanks everyone - wondering if its the motor or me - user error - if its the motor how can I test it without taking it apart etc...

I run the mmp and a tekin redline 21.5 and it has good low end and ok wheelspeed

Okay, somebody's probably asked something similar at some point, but there are so many post everywhere on this site it's hard to find anything specific.
I just got a RC4WD AX2 2-Speed tranny, I'm running a 20t brushed motor and I don't think it'll be up to the job. First run for the motor as well as the tranny, and the motor was quite hot after bashing and crawling around my yard, and I was only running a 2S Li-Po. I like the speed, but I'd like some more torque. So my question is what's the speed equivalent for a brushless motor?

Ok, so you think the mmp combo is better then the other?
What is the better engine, tekin or novak on tcscrawlers.
The brushed setup will be a better crawler setup. The low speed control will not be matched with a brushless setup.
The first page will have the best info on what brushless to run. A 13.5 will be a decent start.
Ok, thanks
Is the brushed setup that I have chosen god or is there any better combo from tcs?

You chose a solid setup, personally I would go with a 35t instead of the 45t but that's just my preference.
