[kleinoah427]

Hi there I have the electirix ruckus monster truck and it is way to slow I want something like a million times faster way faster the fastest around just try to keep it in the 100-150 range please I would like a motor and esc combo because my esc is broken any recommendations please MAKE SURE IT'S FAST THOUGH ITS A 1/10 scale monster truck

What you are describing is a Brushless ESC/Motor combo. For a new 1/10 scale set up here's a suggestion that's just a bit more than you've budgeted but isn't too bad:

Brushless set ups do put out quite a bit more power, so be prepared to start replacing drive-line parts.

Thanks so much what do you mean drive line parts? And everyone else please keep telling me good combos I always wanna look around

 

[hamz9561]

Drive shafts, axles, transmission gears and diff parts.

What about a castle sidewinder 3 5700kv combo???

 

[bgbdwlf2500]

No its too much kV. You need to stay in the 3000 to 3500 kV range. A 2800 is really what you need

 

[hamz9561]

The lower the kV the higher the torque. Torque is what moves monster trucks.

It's not that big though I saw a YouTube video with the same truck and that convo it was givener its less than 5 pounds

Did the youtube video give you the temps after running? Like the others have said, with a truck that size you want lower kvs.

I'd go no higher than a 2600 kV motor. I'm planning on getting about a 2200 kV for my Revo 3.3 conversion.

2600? I think he could go a little higher, the Ruckus is basically a Stampede and the VXL is 3500.

One thing I learned on this board is when people advise you on something it is good to pay attention. Most of these guys have been doing this for years, and won't lie to you. If you were going to buy what you saw on youtube, why even bother asking here?
