What powers your SCX10?

[dolli310]

Stock SCX-10 Gear ratio with a 55t motor from RC4WD
4200mAh NiHM battery, Axial AE-2 ESC w/ Drag Brake and Spektrum AR600 receiver

Got a 93t spur and 15t pinion gear, both 48p coming. Too low?

Depends on what you like to do. I don't mind jogging or even running behind mine.
You'll be lucky not to trip over urs at a slow walk.
Nothing wrong with that if that's what ur after. I'm just putting it in perspective for you.

If it's too slow I still have the factory 27t motor. Mix and match as required.

I'm looking at getting an scx and i have a few parts left over from my previous RC car days, about 15 years ago (yikes, maybe a little more?! i'm getting older). I have an old futaba 2 channel radio and receiver, servo. I have what was at the time a very nice novak Tempest ESC but that will be no use to me for a crawler since it has no reverse. It was (still is actually) in my Losi XXT. I also have a novak Rhino charger. I have a few motors too, at the time i remember there were "stock" and "modified" motors. Mine were all stock, i have no idea what that means as far as turns, or suitability for a crawler.

So my question:

Should i buy a scx kit and use my existing radio and motor and just pick up a new esc and batteries, or should i buy all new stuff, or should i get an RTR? Budget is a limitation and i'm not afraid to do a little work to save some money. I'll also need to pop for a new charger and batteries (lipo i assume?)

I was just in your boat ... and decided on the SCX10 Jeep Kit 279.00 but I went with a Castle MMP ESC ( only did this because I will run a cheap brushed motor now and will upgrade to brushless later ) I also bought a cheap Traxxas Titan 550 motor ... Towerhobbies has 40.00 off total

ohh i bought a Castle Link and Bec as well ... I already have a Airtronics MX3 Radio and a Hitec Servo from my Savage

I run a Tekin FX brushed ESC and a Pro Boat 540 can, 2000KV motor. Tons or torque and a really inexpensive motor.

Tekin FX-R and a 35T Novak Rock Star with 87/16 gearing on 3s Lipo.

 

[Bad Example]

Tekin FXR and 35T Tekin HD, when the motor isn't acting up or too dusty. With a Novak terra claw as a backup.

I just finished my first crawler, a Dingo from the kit. I'm using the LRP K7 21.5 turn brushless with an LRP Spin Super EEC on 2s 5300. Started at 16/87. Very smooth super slow speeds. I will go back to the 20 tooth stock pinion to see what the difference is. I've been racing SC but the crawler is such an attractive piece of hardware. I suspect there will be many options to go before I'm done.

^ any videos of that in action?

 

[f150dan]

I'm running a Mamba Max Pro with LRP Vector K7 21.5 on 2S lipo currently and it's butter smooth and very quiet but it's a bit slow for my taste so I'm thinking of trying it on 3S.
