Getting the Axial Jeep kit and wanted to know what motor and ESC you guys are running and how they perform.

Tekin fxr and a 35 t motor. Preferably a holmes hobbies motor.
Have burned up 3 castles in the last few years.
Have never had a problem with the Tekins. Have some that are over 6 years old and stil working great.

I haven't had any problems with my castle stuff but a lot of others have. Talking with guys that run Tekin, they all seem to love it. My future builds will include Tekin.

Holmes motors are the way to go and I agree with a 35 turn.

This is the part i'm still learning.Would a 55t motor be better than a 35t for crawling? Please educate the newbie

Depends on what you will be doing a 35T will be a good all around motor for crawling and speed. A 55 turn will be great for crawling but will run out of rpms quickly so speed will be limited. You'll have tons of torque though.

I like my 55t. If you are running more scale and with a group maybe a 35 but my 55 hasn't failed me yet

A 35 would give you a little more wheelspeed.
Also depends on what battery setup you run. A 55 on 3s would be close to a 35 on 2s in regards to wheelspeed.
Torque would also come into factor.
The torque masters from holmes hobbies are great motors.

I'm probably gonna get the following:

ESC
Castle Creations Mamba Max Pro 1/10 Brushless ESC with SMARTSENSE
OR
Tekin RS Pro Sensored Brushless ESC


Motor
Tekin ROC 412 4-Pole Sensored Brushless Rock Crawler Motor (3100kV)
OR
Tekin FXR 35T
