What motor do I want?

Will the Hobbywing QuicRun Waterproof 1080 ESC work well with the Trailmaster Sport 550?

I have that ESC and I think its great. I have submarined it and had no problems, definitely water proof. It should work with that motor because its a brushed motor. This ESC is only for Brushed Motors.

I didn't look at the link closely but make sure you get one with the program card, makes adjusting your settings easy.

Appreciate the response! I got a kit rig to run alongside my RTR. Going to upgrade the RTR to brushed, the kit to brushless. We'll see how it goes. "thumbsup""thumbsup"

I have seen that the 550 can will not fit the rtr transmission. It will however fit the kit trans

 

[fortyeightjake]

I sure hope it fits lol. Can diameter is the same but it's definitely longer.

Thats the issue
It hits the battery tray.
I have one and was going to put it in my kit 10.2, but nope wont fit.

I have a 550 brushless that fits fine...

Yup

Yup

Ok, mines an RTR. I guess we'll see what happens.

Can anyone make a recommendation on a waterproof brushless sensored ESC and motor combo? I intend to run 2S 7.4V 5000mah. I intend only to crawl and run a few trails. High speed is not needed. Just a good combo with good reliability and long run times.

Please let us know how it works out. I'm about to pull the trigger on upgrading my RTR motor and wouldn't mind seeing how options work for others using the RTR trans.

Don't get the 550! Does not fit. I guess I'll be ordering the 540 motor. About a quarter inch too long and hits the battery tray.

Looks like the same solution as with the yeti tray issue..... a simple notch will get your clearance


Hang up and Drive

 

[fortyeightjake]

Yeah, I'm really not trying to notch into that corner of the battery tray though. That's the corner I have my battery pushed into.

Then it's a 540

Can't you flip the trans around like the old scx? Would put the motor out the back

Is there really a pressing need for a 550 in the scx2? Apart from potential physical size issues, would it be unnecessarily heavy? How would the 540 27t trailmaster compare?

 

[Hardcoretam]

Imagine it would be similar wheelspeed but would produce more heat with the 27t, draw more amps and produce less torque.
