Hello,

I've got a ? for the RC crawler world out there. I've got an Axial Ax-10 and a custom crawler I built(a Gmade chassis, trans and axial axles). My ? is, what motor should I use for these. I would like a little speed but still be able to crawl. I was thinking the Traxxas 550 12t and just playing with gearing. Any one got any ideas. Thank you advance.


Jerry

what battery you gonna run?

axial make some good motors that would be suitable...

Need more info.... What ESC and Batt are you gong to use? Comp rock or trail pig?

I think Im going to use a 6 cell nimh like a 3000mah(maybe a lipo later on)

Its going to more like a prerunner truck, or like you said a trail rig. Im not sure what esc to yet, any ideas.

at least a 35t. it'll be fast than you can walk, and have plenty of torque for climbing.

as for esc holmes hobby brxl if you want the best out there,and you can get it water proofed.
you mentioned lipo one day, so what ever you get, make sure it has a lipo cut off in it.
anything castle or castle based.
i got 2 AE-2's,1 in a cc01 and 1 in a tuber both on 2s
a mamba micro pro in my scx10 blazer on 2s
a 1st gen sidewinder in my 6x6 running dual 65t motors on 3s
and a losi msc12L in my creeper safari. it has a crawler mode and cut off for 2s

the holmes brxl is castle based as well

Thank you very much. All that info really helped.
