New to the concept of swapping out electronics. The motor I have is fine, but is showing signs of wear. I have a Tamiya CC-01 Wrangler that I'm rebuilding into a crawler.
What I'd like to do is get a new motor, battery, servo, and ESC that allows for longer run time while I take my rig on long hikes. Or at least, get a working servo that will run with either this motor and a new motor that will eventually go in.
I am not understanding how to match these parts together. How do I know what ESC/speed controller/motor/servo works well together? Some come with some little resister or something model number RX30. No idea what that's for.
I recognize how to match a battery to a motor. So I was looking at getting Zeee 7.4V Lipo Battery 2S 50C 5200mAh Lipos and matching that to a specific motor. But then, how do I match the motor to an ESC/Speed controller/servo?
I currently have a TLU-01 LED unit that works great. Has 8 connectors for all the mods and such I've been using. I have a dedicated power cable that plugged into the battery directly via an adaptor, then split that power to a speed controller (TEU-104BK), which than sends power to the motor and ESC (R203GF).
Is there a way to not replace any of these and just get a good servo with ~220 oz/in? If I have to/should replace all of this, can someone help me match all these parts together and explain how I know they work well with each other?
