Going to try out open SC with my slash...slash body anyway Last needed item is a motor. I have heard a 6.5-8.5t works well.
How many turns would you run and who do you think makes the best motor?
Thx

I use a 8.5 Redline in my SC10, more than enough. I was using a 5700 MM and while it was fun, I turn better lap times with the 8.5... 6.5 will be like the 5700, very fast and tons of wheel spin.

How big is your track? Indoor or outdoor? Are you running 2wd of 4wd?

Motor size also depends on what kind of track you'll be running on. I'm running a 10.5 novak in an SC10 on a reasonably tight dusty track. The only time I can even think of anything more than half throttle is when going down the straight. And then it has to be done slowly, otherwise the rear will step out.

i have my slash with 13.5t cps thats the limit and the class i'm in. well, the track is pretty big but really dusty so even with 13.5t it will spin out easily in corners. just sharing ideas...

Good call Indoor, clay and 2wd. Seems bigger than most I have seen for SCT. Here's a link to a vid of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSiZ8HTRgM8 Setup so far is Xtreme LCG CF chassis, Powerstrokes, Protrac suspension, Bowties and Mamba Max Pro. Servo to come soon.

That IS a big indoor track! That track looked incredible and well maintained, I'm jealous! We run on a similar surface indoor track that is much smaller. Our is a clay track with a ton of bite. Most people run shadow pins or slicks depending on the temperature.

I use an 8.5T in my SC10 and I rarely get past half throttle. However, I really prefer the punch of the bigger motor darting from turn to turn. I don't care how low you gear a smaller turn motor, you just can't achieve the same punch of the bigger motor.

With that being said, I'd say a 7.5 or 8.5 turn motor would work well on that track. You may even be able to use a 6.5 turn motor, but you'd better have great throttle control if you're going to go that low.

I would get a 6.5 sensored motor from tekin. Set the punch control to around 20% (depending on driving capabilities). That track looks pretty big so the 6.5 will work great.
