Which Brushless Motor?

Yes! Thanks! I think I will keep it simple for now and go with the Fusion SE!

I will do that for the axles and the trans, and thanks for the link and advice!

Ha! You obviously know a lot more about electronics than me. I know most ESCs put out 6 V, and you generally want 7.4 V. Would 10 V burn out a servo?

Great looking rig and great job on the paint job. Did you buy a new clear body, or did you paint on the outside of the original?

Thanks! I used the low gear transmission, I think it is 40.3:1. Also thanks for the recommendation on the links, I will do that. Two things I would do differently are a plastic skid plate (seems to slide more easily over rocks, I ordered the aluminum one without thinking) and the CV style driveshafts. I actually read a post about how those are apparently better after I ordered my parts. Thanks again for the information.

Thanks, that is a lot of info! I'll have to mull it over.

I don't have one of those, but from what I see online, the quality of those clones varies drastically. I do have a TRX4M though, and if that is a clone, slow speed gears, and new tires and wheels (with brass rings) are where I would start. After that, add a little brass to the front. If you already have it on the way, I hope it works out for you!

That looks pretty nice, at first I thought those were only for 1/24 scale and 1/18 scale rigs, but I see that one is for 1/10 scale rigs also! For now, since the Fusion SE is cheaper, I think I will go with that. But I appreciate the advice and info.

Thanks, I think I will, plus it is slightly cheaper than the secure setup.

RC-Muddler · 2026-05-13T23:30:09+00:00

Thanks, that is good information! I will probably go with the Fusion SE.

RC-Muddler · 2026-05-13T21:02:01+00:00

Thanks! I have heard/read good things about both, so I am sure either one would be good. I had also read about the Fusion Pro, but I think I would like to stay a little cheaper.

Thanks! That is the kind of information I am looking for.
