If you wanted to keep the Bomber setup as a Brushed rig, given HW 1080WP, and a HH motor..... Which or what would you use for a Bomber that you wanted to keep brushed, but still able to keep a decent low wheel speed, while still pushing around 15 or 20 mph...


Been a long time since I dealt with a brushed setup and thinking I want to try to keep the bomber brushed if possible.

Thinking the ISDN ESC or the HW 1080WP, but a high end ESC isn't out of the mix. That said, I'm considering another Tekin RX4 as it can do both Brushed and Brushless motors. However the On the Fly switch between Racer and Crawler mode on a Castle Mamba X would be very suitable, but does the X have the capability of running a brushed motor? Or are they Brushless only ESCs?

Copperhead maybe? though I've read of some issues with them.

So with the what esc option fully asked,
which brushed Motor?

As I noted above, I'd like to be able to keep a good low wheel speed for crawling as/when needed, but its a Bomber, not a walker, lol so I'm thinking at least a 20t, maybe even lower turn.


Obviously many will say HH. So let the options fly on what HH motor you would go with to achieve the performance I'm seeking.

But what about the Tekin 5 Slot Cralwer motors? I see some low turn options there also.

Light me up. What esc and motor options would you go with?

I am leaning toward an ESC that can do brushed and brushless if I just don't like the brushed option at the end of the day, but the 1080wp or ISDN options are cheap so that's a given, and they'll always fit in some other rig. lol

Options options options. Too Damn Many Options. lol
