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

[Markeje]

3100KV Tekin ROC 412 is my ideal choice. Fantastic low speed control and plenty of wheel speed. On 3s of course.

So what ESC with the Rock412? MMP, RS Pro?
Will this set up pull the front of the ground and stay cool hill climbing at constant throttle?

Did a search but cant find anything. Tamiya Crawler Tuned 35t will that go Straight into my Po ison Spyder Wraith with the standard ESC?

 

[Chubby5000]

Yup. The Axial AE-2 can run any brushed motor 19T (turns) and higher.

MMP is my preference.

"Pull the front off the ground" is a relative to your trucks setup. A very heavy truck probably not, a stock truck it could put on it's lid.

Tq for ur respon.... But...something i cannot understand... Tekin redline 13.5T have a 3500kV rating....the xerun 10.5T/S have 3200kV from their sheet list...so...is it something near? Newbie here in term of relation between kV n Turn...

KV vs turns varies from mfg to mfg and is entirely dependent on motor design.

So i think I narrowed it down to the MMP + Roc412 or the Rs Gen2 Spec + 13t 3100kv.
Any negatives with the Gen2 Spec?

I just ran my hobbywing xerun 3400kv for the first time with a MMP and I'm in love! I set the MMP to 40% drag brake and it's perfect.

Any way you could take a short vid of it crawling and a speed run?

The ROC is FAR superior to the 13t. Not even worth considering if you can afford the ROC.

I'm going Roc and MMP. Done!

So in term of low end speed, 13.5t better than 10.5t...
Although it have approx same kv for example around 3300-3500kv?

 

[Chubby5000]

Yeah. But as said above, the kV rating varies per manufacturer, and you want to make sure you've still got enough range in the low end speed so that you're not just having rock bounce over everything.

Hi Guys,
I'm reading and reading but do not exactly found what i'm looking for.

May be that you kill me for my Question but I run a HH 27 t Trailmaster on my Wraith and looking for the best gearing.

Thx in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Buy two pinions two teeth higher and two teeth lower than what you've got right now and try that.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Does it works also with 3s?

[Chubby5000]

The motor can handle 3s, but if its the stock ESC, then you should get a Castle Creations or similar BEC.

No, the ESC is not stock so I will try your choice of pinion.
Habe a good one.
