Senton Which Armma motor for Senton?

[DavefromCA]

My son and I are just about complete with our ground up built Senton. It is 100% stock, but we’d like some input on motor options. I have a 3900 kv out of a Vendetta, a 3200 kv out of a Typhon or a 2800 kv out of a Losi big hog (still a spektrum product.)

We mostly like to bash on an open field with minimal bumps, but do like to attempt to crawl up really steep dirt piles. Also, my son is 7 and has trouble following safety protocols and for that reason I am leaning towards the 2800 for a more torquey feel.

Sounds like a 2800kv motor and maybe a 15T pinion would be great. Not the best top speed (will probably hurt at full speed into the leg) , but will be better at steep dirt piles.
Around 30mph

Definitely don't use the 3900kv from the Vendetta.

In case you didn't know.. there's a handy throttle limiter on the transmitter, you can dial it down to 75% or even 50%

In case your son 'only' have two positions with his trigger finger..
0 or Blast

Ya he saw that right away, so not an option lol

Now you have me considering the Vendetta motor and just not inviting the kids

You need to install a throttle on it then...

Or,
Set it at 50% and remove the switch

Those new 4S Kratons are definitely the sweet spot, IMO. Not too expensive or difficult to maintain, just the right size for a session anywhere, tough, and just the right speed. Hopefully rollers start popping up on fleabay within the next few months.
