I have read the Motor/ESC post by Harley and used the search to the best of my ablility. I have decided to go with HH trailmaster BLE pro and either 2700 or 2200 HH Brushless motor.
I know 2200 is slower but more torque. and also Puller Pro is a 4 pole motor and stronger at same KV then Trailmaster BL which is only a 2 pole motor. I have run the numbers on The Script Asylum and both motors (on 3s lipo) can be geared to achieve my desired top speed. I also have a grasp on Mr. Holmes "Volt up gear down". I'm pretty sure any HH brushless motor will be great but I also think there is a BEST choice based on my setup and driving.
Some basic details:
I run 3s Lipo
Wraith weighs about 9lbs and has 4WS
Driving is pretty much split between trail and crawl. Best way to describe it would be trailing to different areas too crawl.
If I had to pick I rather have better performance on the rocks. I don't care about top speed over 10-12 MPH
I'm hoping to maximize runtime and motor efficiency
I also have 32p gears
My main question (again based on 3S lipo and stuff above) Is it better to:
A) run a 2200kv with 56/11 spur/pin and standard diff gearing (38/13)
- or -
B) run a 2700kv with 56/9 spur/pin and underdrive diff gearing (43/13)
2nd question... I know the standard 540 puller pro is a monster. Should I think about the "stubby" version to reduce some torque and be a little easier on my Wraith? Any reason to consider using the 2 pole brushless TrailMaster instead?
Thanks
