Tekin for a Summit

[nitrostarter]

Welcome aboard!

Hmm, honestly, I feel the stock system is one of the best for crawling, but the speed isn't there...

You could easily do the 2000 or 1700 system on 4s and get 30-35mph. Then test out the sensored running with low speed crawling.

The 1550 on 6s would be another great choices. Do you really want the added weight of the 6s for running at the track, not really but the added weight could help tremendously on crawling and mud-bogging. This combo would have some serious power and efficiency as well!

Side note here: The RX8 esc is not waterproof, so I'm not sure I would hit the mud-bog...

BTW: There are some videos or a MMM 2200 combo trying to crawl and its just down right ugly... I hope the Tekin can accomplish this better.


My Summit is still running the stock EVX2 with a OSE 700sc motor(basically a Titan 775). I had to adjust from flying around at 40+ in all my previous vehicle. But I overcame it and I'm happy with the 20mph and the variability of the Summit!

Here's some videos of my Summit with a MMM installed. I've done lots of experimentation and have made it a much better crawler, but I just can't get it where I want. That's why I'm thinking Tekin.

I talked to the president of Tekin today. I think I have a waterproofing solution and he agreed it should work. I'll work on that once I get a brushless system working. I may just end up going with a Kershaw dual 700 kit, so I'll worry about the waterproofing later.

Oh, and thanks for the welcome. Is it better to say I came here via the Traxxas forum or the Nambla forum? I'm not sure which is considered worse around here.
