Ax10 Based crawler project

[lincpimp]

So I have about finished gathering parts for my 2.2 crawler build. Going to use ax10 axles, pede tranny, sidewinder, and an outrunner.

Have the axles and the tranny built. Chassis will be based on the gatekeeper design. I will use revo pushrods for the links, and traxxas xl shocks, most likely with losi truck springs. Chassis material will be kydex, and I have some axial stand-offs to use with that. I have the gatekeeper lower skid for the pede tranny.

Plan to run a 833kv outrunner I have on 3s lipo with the sidewinder. I have a jr ds8711 servo and will feed it with a ccbec, as the sidewinder bec is a bit weak.

Due to the 5mm shaft, I will be using 32p gearing. I have a friend with an ax10 that runs a novak 55t motor on 3s, and with stock gearing it does about 5mph, so has decent wheel speed. 60/18 gearing with the 833kv motor on 3s will give me similar speed, and hopefully more torque than a brushed motor.

I may step up to 4s lipo, and gear it down more. Depends on how well it starts with the current gearing. I basically do not want any cogging. Any ideas what esc settings I should run? I am guessing high timing and high start power, as it is an outrunner? No punch control, of course, and quite a bit of drag brake.

I will have some pics of the parts tomorrow, and hopefully I will have time to cut the sideplates and servo mounts.
