Losi SCTE motor/battery questions
Hey guys, just bought my SCTE roller and I had some questions about what electronics to put in.
First off, I've decided to go with the Ten shock 401 motor/ESC combo but I'm not sure which kV would be best. I will almost exclusively bashing only and I plan to run 3s. I have the choice between 5000, 4400, 3800, and 3400. Which one will give me the best balance of top end, torque, heat, runtime, etc.?
Secondly, what is the largest 3s I can squeeze into the batter tray?
Any advice is appreciated!!

On 3S, I'd probably go with the 3400kv motor. 5000kv would just be stupid-fast (not in a good way) and would probably get too hot. Double-check your battery tray dimensions against the battery pack dimensions. You don't want to get your new battery only to find out it won't fit. Look up the specs.

For bashing I used 5300 Turnigy in mine. I know I know a lot of uninformed people think Turnigy is junk. I know different. For bashing they are great, and cheap. And the best up grade for your Losi is CERAMIC BEARINGS. Noticable increase in speed, acceleration and run time.
