What Powers Your Wraith?

Just got in yesterday

MMP (Love it, 213% DB :shock

Trinity monstor horsepower D13.5 (very good motor,3600KV, 88 RR spur with 19 pinion doesn't even get hot)

GENS ACE 5000 2S

Finally decided on the pro4 -- mainly because I am lazy and don't want to deal with maintenance of brushed.

Running 56/13 but thinking about changing it to 11. Any one know if 56/11 will mesh?

here is my stupid question:

I when going slow, and then encounters a rock, it will stall, then I give it more throttle till it slowly goes over the rock. On its way down, I have to remember to back off on the throttle or else it will jet off. Am I correct to assume this is the difference between brushed vs brushless? Meaning, in brushed, you don't have to vary your throttle as much (hence smoother)?

thanks

Any permanent magnet motor will increase in speed when the load is taken off. You may try using a lower startup power if you aren't already, it affects how the low end feels on the MMP controller.

Is there a consensus best motor/ESC combo for a balance of crawling and bashing?
Holmes 35T?
else?

 

[Steelfish]

my budget combo:

motor: electryfly s-600 19t motor
ESC: Xl-5 traxxas
servo: HPI SF-5
Batts: 3S LIFE 2200 and 4400 batts
stock Tx/Rx




I already have an ACE 80a BL ESC to switch to BL powa, Im in the search for a sensored 3300 motor

budget power houe combo.

turnigy track star 150 esc 60 bucks
programable drag brake, punch control, brake strenght forward reverse, timing, lvc, power out put forward and reverse. 3 reverse settings.
all programable very easily with programming card.


turnigy 2100kv 1/8 scale motor 39 bucks.
this motor runs very awesome it crawls very well on 2s and hauls the mail on 6s it literaly will do it all i just gota decide what i want to do. heat is non existint. im running 4.0 to 3.0 gear ratios still figureing out whaqt voltage i want to run at and speeds i like its kinda FOFF type rig.

this esc motor combo is super smooth at all voltages and gear ratios for the money it has been amazeing.

i also have sv2 4600 system that is fast with lots of power but cogs something feirce crawling its mainly for going fast id also recomend it for basher type rig. esc is also super programable with the castle link

 

[Kitty]

Tekin RS Pro and ROC 412 3100 kV with 54/14 32 p gearing. Great combo.

just watched that,it's to pricey for me,can u give a hint what to look for 32 pitch spur and pinion?what would it fit?

so any sugestion on wich from those two motors to choose?

 

[evan03]

need to know kv on those motors. im not up on the totor turn lingo.

higher kv is faster

 

[Pabust]

White one has a Pro4 3300 kV with a Mamba Max Pro ESC and blue one with the ROC 412 3100 kV with a Tekin RS ESC, and they are almost the same, on crawling control as well as full throttle hills
