RC4WD Z-E0004 540 Crawler Brushed Motor 45T

I bought two of these motors to replace the 70 turn motors on my Mad Torque which made it painfully slow. Now it has better speed and still plenty of torque. Well worth the price and shipped quickly. This user has no complaints and recommends these motors.

I wanted a motor with low end grunt and got just what I wanted. Originally I was running a brushless system but I switched to brushed because they are so much cheaper and easier to use. Yeah, it's not as precise as a $300 brushless system but, when it goes up in smoke, I'm only out $30-$50 for a motor and speed controller and I get all the adjustability I need for crawling with friends.Great investment. Just gear for what you are doing.

I have an axial Ridgecrest so it had a 27t motor to start, I'm not sure if it's the 2s batteries I'm using or gearing or what but it crawls pretty well, I can't say it's a torque monster and snaps axles or drivelines but it does a lot better than the stock motor, I'm happy with it

I'm using this in the Lego technic set 42125 on a 2s battery. Good torque, smooth and not too fast causing plastic parts to melt as long as they're lubricated.

Cheap price but good motors for dunking around. Work well, no complaints. As long as your gearing is correct they last a decent amount of time

These are good little crawler motors for the money. I replaced the 27 turn Axial with this one for slower top end and more grunt. It's running on 2S and 3S batteries with stock Deadbolt SCX10 ESC with a bit of extra waterproofing on servo & receiver. It does seem to have issues making brush contact a bit more than stock motor in muddy water. However it gets abused a bit. I dunk Deadbolt with motor running in fresh water or pour water into motor to clean it out. This doesn't hurt motor to be in water, just be sure ESC servo and receiver are all waterproof/resistant. Youtube videos on RC waterproofing will tell you everything you need.

I should have done my research. These motors would do well in track or construction vehicles, maybe moa crawlers.But a 5 slot motor is much smoother and controllable even in the lower turn higher rpm version.I had ordered a 35t and a 45t and wound up using the 35 in my son's everest 10. Gave it a little more pep but still controllable for a 4yr old.

Great improvement in my HPI VENTURE 1:10 crawler. Some loss of wheel speed from the stock 35t motor, but the new low speed control far out weighs. No need to finesse at low speeds, throttle a little bit and it’ll just keep crawling. 10/10
