Typhon Will the stock 3660 blx motor work with a 70a esc?

No. I tried the stock motor with a Max10 SCT RTR 80a esc and it would cut out at WOT with stock gearing.
 
What ESC are you talking about? Cause the Hobbywing Max10sct is 120a and the Hobbywing Max10 is 80a. Maybe the RTR versions are different.
This https://www.ebay.com/itm/333249736832?hash=item4d973b7080:g:f04AAOSwhxJdFQ3I it has all the same settings and adjustability as the Max10 SCT 120a but only runs on 3s.

There is also a Max10 SCT 120a RTR only difference between it and the regular Max10 SCT is the lack of temp port on the RTR. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...DlnE_xlioYTXHWUO56waAoiyEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

The ESC in the link says it is a Max10sct but it seems like it is the regular Max10. But maybe I'm wrong. I have been wrong once or twice before. Lol
 
I did a little research, and that ESC seems to out of a Redcat RTR TR-SC10E, which is now discontinued. That ESC was paired with a 4300kv Redcat (rebranded Hobbywing) motor in the TR-SC10E.

The Max10 SCT RTR is just a middle ground between the Max10 and the Max10 SCT.

I did a little research, and that ESC seems to out of a Redcat RTR vehicle. An older Ebay listing showed it paired with a Redcat (rebranded Hobbywing) 4400kv motor. I haven't been able find out which Redcat uses that ESC yet.
TR-MT10E.

I forgot about the TR-SC10E.

Iirc there are a few of the Chinese brushless rcs that use those escs too. I thought I remember seeing them in some of the FS Racing stuff.

You're the man! I didn't know there was two versions of the Max10sct. And thought the Max10 was 80a.

If you think about it there are 3 versions of the Max10 SCT.
Max10 SCT RTR 80a
Max10 SCT RTR 120a
Max10 SCT

And then there are the rebranded motors, both brushed and brushless. Leave it to the manufacturers to try to totally confuse us consumers.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I have the Max10sct NON RTR 120a in my Big Rock. Well, I did til yesterday. Had problems with it and ended up sending it back to Hobbywing and ordered a Firma150 from Jenny’s.
