I tried my combo' in a Firestorm which is very similar to your Blitz.
On 21/87 gearing on 2s I found it painfully slow.
I now use 29/78 gearing and hit a speed in the low to mid 40's still with...

Anyone having any issues with the sticker departing from the ESC?
Mine has come away on one side and wont stick back on, which results in the ESC clipping apart occasionally.
Although I think it...

I've had around 50 uses on mine, and it's doing me proud. It's geared to the hill too (29/78 in a Firestorm) so it's not having an easy ride.
I like it that much that i've ordered a second one for...

It'll work, but it wont be very fast.
Get some larger pinions and gear that baby up.
I'm geared 29/78 and it's the perfect amount of top speed and torque for me.

I think it would be a bit risky as the esc gets rather hot with the motor geared high in a Firestorm running on 2s.
Imo, stick to 2s in a heavy short course truck.
If you must use 3s, get a fan and...

Had around 40 runs out of mine, so far so good.
Only problem I had was the sticker peeling off one side resulting in the esc unclipping itself in half. Luckily it clipped back together.

I use the combo' in a Firestorm which is similar in weight and size to the Rustler.
I've never tried it on 3s as i'm geared at something like 28/78 on 2s and hitting mid 40s.

I also notice that the esc gets hotter quicker than others that I have. It also cools down very quickly at a rate of about 2-3F every 3 seconds or so.
Guess the heat...

just an update; I've been using the Sidewinder SCT with 3800 motor for just over 2 weeks now in my E Firestorm.
At first, I geared it 21/87 but it was dog slow.
I then geared 27/78 (fdr 7.5:1) and...

The Blitz spurs have a mounting hole that looks to be at least 10mm, whereas the Associated spurs look much closer matched to the stock Firestorm spur mounting hole of 5mm.

The associated spurs look like they'll fit, but the Blitz spurs have a larger diameter hole by the looks of things.
