I’m running a really cheap 21 turn 550 in the video, works great but going for one of these next https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/holmes-hobbies-crawlmaster-sport-550-5-slot-motor-15t-1343248 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the motor recommended in the Modelsport bundle is a 55T motor. I suppose it depends upon whether you are going to use it as a dedicated crawler or more of a high speed sand racer. Because it has the 2-speed transmission, do you think it'd work better with a higher or lower turn motor? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 15t 550 size motor i linked you to is a 5 slot the equivalent of a 30-35t 540 motor near enough. It’ll have loads of low end torque and should have enough rpm for decent wheel speed 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
