Granite Cheap motor/ESC upgrade for Mega

[scv484]

Looking to still run my 2s batts -- just want more run time (currently I hit Temp Control before LVC)

Would one of the cheap 3650 3100KV brushless 60/45 A ESC combos help at all? the brushed motor and esc get hot quick, even with a heatsink and fans

I’ve had the goolrc $34 combo in my sons stampede 2wd for about 2 years now without issue. It’s a 60a 2/3s esc 4300kv motor. If I were to donit again, I’d go lower kv and 80-100a esc

There are lots of threads covering this, here is a recent one: https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/ezrun-max-10.24125/

The Hobbywing EZRUN MAX10 3300kv combo is pretty good bang for buck, although when running hard without a motor fan you could have heat issues on 3s. I have this in my 1/10 SC truck: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbyw...3300kv-brushless-motor/rc-car-products/420922

But if you want my recommendation and if you're fine with spending just a little more, I would go for the EZRUN SCT 3200kv: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbyw...3200kv-brushless-motor/rc-car-products/420924

I've bought cheap £30-60 combos in the past. I hated them. They always had poor throttle modulation and some 3s rated ESCs wouldn't even run 3s ? go for popular and reputable brands like Hobbywing and Castle. Do it once and do it right ?
