What powers your SCX10?

Mine is basically stock with a 2S 4000mah lipo (Deadbolt). The 27 turn stock motor is too "jumpy" for my style of crawling,so I'm installing a 35 turn motor,for a little more low end torque.
 
Motor- Traxxas Titan 12T
Battery 6-cell NiHM
ESC-Axial AE-5
Trans- Vanquish case with hot racing steel gears
Gears- Traxxas 90T spur and 13T pinon

I put an Axial 35t (AE-5 esc) motor in my SCX-10. Even on 3s, it isn't as jumpy as the stock 27t was. I like it alot better. I will run it on 2s most of the time.
 
Re: Please list your SCX10 Motor, Battery, and ESC here!

I need help, I have an scx 10 truck with venom 3s batt., and 2.2 tires and it is overheating badly, what pinion combo should I use to resolve this??
 
I just did an upgrade on mine today. I'm less a crawler, more a rock bouncer:lmao:


Castle Mamba max pro
Sensored Trakpower 13.5 brushless
3s battery
26t pinion, 80t spur
 
Nothing fancy, getting back into the hobbie so tried to go relatively inexpensive.

Axial 27t
Venom 2s 20c
Hobbiewing 1060 esc
Flysky gt3b radio
Old futuba servos for steering and a servo winch I set up...both suck and will be the first upgrade I do

Cheers
 
First Rig (Mine):

30T Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster
Sidewinder 3
87/21
3S SMC or NanoTech
Spektrum DX3S
Hitec 5646wp

Second Rig (Son's):

30T Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster
MMP w/ silicone conformal "waterproofing"
80/20
3S SMC or NanoTech
Spektrum DX3S
Hitec 5646wp

This is a near perfect setup for trailing with the occasional crawl...plenty of wheelspeed and no need to watch temps as long you're not jamming the trigger constantly!!

with that type of setup, I'd probably go down more than a couple teeth on the pinion...something like 87t spur and 11t-13t pinion to start...otherwise a 20t motor on 3s and 2.2s is going to go down in a blaze of glory before long...but it will be fun in the meantime!!
