Motor & ESC suggestions for Super Build with Clod Buster Axles
- Thread starter John
- Start date
i feel there are more opions available to you by using 2 escs instead of 1 especialy if your gona use it like a comp crawler
i would sugest a esc thats programable like a hobbywing 1080 or a castle something then pick up a controler that has throtle and steering mixing for dig and or rear steer
the holms hobbies motor are awsome johns a great guy and his motors are only a few dollors more than there chinese counterparts and much better quality just beware of fakes on ebay and amazon he sells budget motorrs made in china to his specks all the way up to hand wound brushed motors made here in the us but they will cost you your first harvest he also sells resonable brushless motors and is also working on building his own escs but i dont know how ready they are i get the feeling theres still alot of testing going on right now he is selling them now as a kit and people are customizing them already lol his esc story has been alot of fun to follow with just reading along its almost like being a part of it lol
he also sells servos he started the direct power servo craze that everyother brand is now jumping in to
the only problem is there so fast and so strong they can break stuff if your not carefull lol maybe thats not realy a problem but the servo is stronger than the plastic partz your hooking them up to

I wanna be Dave
i would definetly try 3 or 4s capable escs and 35t motors on 6,7,8 pinions with a radio with mixing capabilities for dig, 4ws and full proportional and independent front/rear motor control8), i have built a couple clods (non crawler, these are shelved waiting for a rebuild...someday) in the last couple of years and the hw1080 has been my go to esc, also my hacked gt3b have done the job

Rock Crawler
Dual brushless is the biggest power option. I've fitted 4250 Outrunners with AM32 Brushless quadcopter esc's in my CLOD axles (100% all metal upgrades including housings) --- AM32 Esc features sinewave programming with lots of adjustments using a laptop. Can set for ultimate torque, drag brake, etc.
4250's Outrunners (14 pole) go up to 1500watts around 5-6s lipo.... 3000watts total = 4 horsepower-ish
That's ALOT of power for an rc. ALOT.
It runs great setup right!!! You could use smaller brushless motors for smaller applications with CLOD axles.... I'm pushing a 34lb rock crawler on 40 series Rock crushers for reference.
