Frequently Asked Questions
- What SCX30 models is this 65T motor compatible with? — This motor is designed as a direct replacement or upgrade component for all Axial 1/30 SCX30 RTR rock crawlers, including the Ford Bronco 4X4, Chevrolet K10 4x4, and Jeep Wrangler JLU 4X4 models. If you own any of these ready to run RC crawlers, this motor will integrate seamlessly with your existing build.
- Do I need to purchase a separate pinion gear? — No. The motor arrives complete with an 11T brass pinion gear (0.3 mod) already included and fitted, so you have everything needed for installation. This eliminates the need for additional purchases and ensures you receive the exact gearing specification optimised for the SCX30.
- Is this suitable for beginners and experienced crawlers alike? — Yes. The straightforward brushed motor design, pre-installed connectors, and inclusion of the matched pinion gear make installation accessible for beginners, whilst the proven 65T performance characteristics satisfy experienced rock crawlers who demand reliable power delivery for competitive events and technical terrain.
- What type of battery does this motor work with? — This brushed motor is designed to work with standard LiPo battery packs compatible with SCX30 models. The pre-installed PH2.0 connector is a universal standard, so compatibility depends on your ESC and battery configuration rather than the motor itself.
- How does the 65T compare to other turn counts available for SCX30? — The 65T configuration is optimised for balanced rock crawling performance. Axial also offers the 88T motor for SCX30, which provides additional torque at the cost of reduced top speed. The 65T is the most versatile option for general crawling, climbing, and trail driving where a balance between power and responsiveness is desired.
- What does the 030-size specification mean? — The 030-size designation refers to the physical dimensions and form factor of the motor, specifically engineered to fit within the SCX30's compact chassis. This ensures proper fitment, correct weight distribution, and maintains the model's scale proportions and handling characteristics.
- Is this a brushless or brushed motor? — This is a brushed motor, which means it uses carbon brushes and a commutator for power delivery rather than electronic switching. Brushed motors offer excellent reliability, simple electronics, and the classic feel preferred by many RC enthusiasts, particularly in crawling applications where consistent torque is more important than raw speed.
