Oh, Crap, it's discontinued. But something like that. Hobbywing makes great stuff.

I would not go quite that high in KV on 3S . Around 3500 KV . Get a motor with a 3mm shaft so you can change pinions easier . Minimum of 60Amp on the ESC .
What is your budget ?

Castle Creations 1/10 SV3 Sidewinder SC + 3800kV w/5mm shaft

Just have to remember what your pinion gears fit on what size shaft. Castle also has a ESC/3800Kv motor combo with 1/8" shaft.
Me, I'd grab HobbyWing EZRun WP-SC8 ESC, and pick a 550/3656 sized 3800Kv of your choice.

budget is $100.00, will a 16t brushless motor and 60a esc work and not overheat

I decided to go 2s lipo 5000mah I'm thinking going with Turnigy TrackStar Waterproof 1/10 Brushless Power System 4000KV/80A

Decided to back out of the 3S power plant?

bcsumm1

yes I think the rest of the truck will start breaking.i also ordered a steel spur gear

bcsumm1

what do think of the turnigy esc and motor I picked

seedygreenute

Hobbywing SC8 = $54
Program card = about $10 ( easier to use ! )
Arrma 3800KV from ebay chopshop = $38
Total = $102
Can run 2S or 3S

seedygreenute

It would do the job , but only on 2S .

I personally can't give firsthand experience with that combo. My concern would be the 2 pole 540/3650 sized motor turning all four tires on the Volcano. Gear the motor right, and you'll be fine. Keep an eye on the motor temps 'til you find the sweet spot.
