Default sc10 4x4 motor

I've read or heard somewhere that due to the sc10 being lighter than the other short course 4x4's it is possible to run one using a 540 motor? any advice on this would be great, if you do need a 550 motor do you need a specific esc for that size motor or would say an lrp sxx tc esc work with it?
Thanks.

Personally I don't think that a 550 size (brushless) motor is essential for the SC10 4x4 - I run mine on a 540 size 9 turn and that's been plenty quick enough for me indoors on carpet over winter and will be on our astro track for summer......and I'm not always last.

Obviously there will be others that will disagree....

i disagree

4.5T 550 is the choice for those that want a fast 4WD SCT

The SC10 4x4 is lighter than most as its made of cheap plastic and will never get round a corner quick enough to even try and catch the others on the straight bits...

so any decent 540 size motor will be fine jokes aside, as long as its geared to temperature like any motor should be

Been using the 4 pole 1410 540 motor by castle creations in my SC10 4X4,im a crap driver but have not had any other 4x4,s pass me on a straight yet.
Plenty of power in it too with the mamba max pro ESC,temps are low.

I'm using a Tenshock SC411 4000kv 4 pole with a 15t pinion on stock 32dp spur.
I bought it from Funs Hobby, very quick delivery considering the distance.
Only used it 3 times but so far its plenty fast enough with great acceleration.
