Esc motor combo for traxxas slash 4x4
 

Thinking of getting a Tekin rx8 and a sc4x Sc motor from Tekin. Would this work. My cousin has one in his sc10 4x4 and loves it. And do u guys think it's worth waiting for the 4 pole new Tekin that's coming out. Thanks guys for ur help

What are your plans for the car ?

Race or Bash ?

What voltage (battery) do you plan to run ?

What speed are you after ?


RX8 ESC has a great reputation, SC4X motors are nothing special


Cheers

Esc motor combo for slash 4x4
 

Looking to race and just to run a 2s lipo

Most of the high end motors from the main manufacturers have similar performance, good for 35 - 40 mph

Only real decision is sensorless vs sensored

Sensored
Novak Ballistic 550
Tekin SC4X

Sensorless
Castle 3800
Tenshock SC401


Seems to be a lot of talk about the 4 Pole Tekins, cant imagine they will offer much more than the current crop, time will tell I guess


ESC choices are fairly straight forward

Sensored
Tekin RX8
Castle Mamba Max Pro
XERUN 150

Sensorless
As above plus
Castle Sidewinder
Castle Mamba Monster
Trackstar 150 / Toro 8
Hobbywing SC8

Sensored vs sensorless
 

What us theron difference between the two. Is one better for racing thanks again for ur help

Sensored motors are generally a little smoother in their application of power, noticeable mostly in the initial application of throttle

Sensorless motors have a tendancy to hesitate (called cogging) and usually hit with a more pronouced whack of power

You will find racers having success with either type

People will always suggest that the particular motor they are running is the best

Cheers

Id wait for the tekin pro4 motor to come out, from what ive heard/read it will be the best 4x4 SCT Motor around (more power with lower temps than the SC4X) and grab a RX8 to go with it, rumor is Tekin will release a ESC/Combo as well with the pro4 and RX8 together, Id imagine it will be pretty pricey but hey...

Cant imagine the Tekin motor will have anything new to offer

Hard to imagine it will make more power than the Tenshock's in a smaller can

Will still come down to the choice between sensored or not

Cheers

Rx8 and traxxass 550 motor
 

So I can use the rx8 and the motor that's on the slash 4x 4

RX8 will run any motor you like

Cheers
