What Powers Your Wraith?

[ebomb]

I just purchased the 11t crawlmaster. I hope it will crawl and have more top end than stock. I'm gonna run a mamba max 3s 2000mah pack with the stock 48 p for now but what gearing should I run?

I don't know if you'll get more top end then the stock (both on 3s) but it will be close. I wouldn't gear it any higher than stock, I am running the stock ration but in 32p (60/15).

Is there still a good amount of torque?

What about a motor for those of us that don't want to or cant afford brushless? There seem to be almost no brushed motors around anymore other than crawling ones and I don't want to go that slow. What is a good option? I just want a motor to replace the stock that is of better quality, and slightly higher turns. I remember Kyosho used to make their 22t magnetic mayhem but I can no longer find that motor.

I wind up all winds, my most popular for the wraith are 21t TorqueMasters.

I'm currently running:

MMP on 3s
Tekin Pro4 short course motor
54/11 32 pitch gears
Castle BEC
Futaba 9157
Hyperion 2200mah 45c 3s lipo

Plan to put my Tekin RS pro in it this weekend and really haul ass.

currently:
-Graupner speed 600 race 7,2v with soft-iron mantle(=johnson 550 with short axle and cooling-fan 15 or 17 turns, not sure. runs slower -and cooler!- than a traxxas Titan 12t 550) pretty torqy, and quite a bit faster than the stock 20t
-4000mah bionic battery 30c 7,4v

I ordered the kit. that will get a LRP 13.5t stock-spec sensored and a LRP ai-Pro ESC

You can't go wrong with anything Holmes just make sure to do your home work on the different turn motors.

I just switched to a tekin 13.5 turn brushless with a tekin esc.

Going to try an LRP brushless crawler ESC with the 10.5t and see how it works out.;-)

If I were You, I'd start looking for (graupner, multiplex, robbe etc.)rs550, 7,2 v, or even a 9,6v. They're cheap, and especially the 9,6 v runs great on 3c lipo, and is very frugal on the Amps.

They're often advertized as hydro-speed, or eco-class speedboat motors, but they work great in any situation that requires torque and a bit of speed.

And again, cheap, cheap, cheap. Cheap 540 cans do not have the grunt to power the wraith adequately.

Axial's 20- turn 540 is a bit over-geared in the stock kit, just to get some speed out of it, and it gets really hot very quickly, and many peeps have already burnt it to a crisp under load.. :lmao:

Can you compare the performance between these two setups you've tried? I'm on the fence regarding which way to upgrade from stock--brushed HH, or sensored Tekin (though if the latter I'll probably pair it with a MMP).

why the tourqemaster over the 11t?

 

[sloyota]

why the tourqemaster over the 11t?

Higher rated kv rating
The 11t crawlmaster is 2675kv
The 17t torquemaster is 3753kv

If geared right and right amount of truck weight the 17t torquemaster should be faster
