Think I'm gonna have to stick to brushed for a little longer then.The X10 is ok for on road cars, and light off road 2WD buggies, but are way to light for a 4WD SCT. You might be OK with an X8 4 or 4.5, but, they might be too big for the Slash chassis, since they are more for 1/8TH scale stuff. When looking for motors, KV isnt the only thing you have to cosnider. Motor size also plays a part in it, and, if you look at the X10, they are a 3652, which is too light for a 4WD anything, except maybe a buggy. I have a 3652 in a 2WD SCT, and the only way to get any real speed out of it, it has to have a large pinion, which just then caused the motor to run hot. For a 4WD Slash, you need to stick with a 3650 in 3300-3500KV, or a 3660 in 3500-3800KV. Take a look at the different 4WD SCT's (Traxxas, Losi, Team Associated, Tekno, for example), and see what they are running stock for brushless, and use that as a starting point.
Does the HW 1060 work on 12t 550 motor?There are pros and cons to a brushed and brushless system. the biggest difference is:
Brushed:
Brushless:
- Cheaper
- smoother power at low speeds. Great for rock crawling.
On that note, the Hobbywing WP 1060 brushed ESC is a pretty good one. I had one of those in a Slash 2wd for a while before I bumped it to brushless. You can put some pretty fast motors on it as well.
- Longer run times.
- motor lasts a heck of a long time. people get years of life on one motor.
- more consistent power.
- no frequent servicing required.
