Hot Racing Axial SCX24/SCX30 050 High Torque Motor w/Pinion (66T)

I think this is the best motor for the scx24 with the stock ESC. I use it in my comp build deadbolt which has heavy treal beadlocks with rc4wd scramblers, as well as a handful of other brass pieces. Not the heaviest but not lightweight. This motor seems to have a lot better low speed control than stock and the barrage. I've even had people ask if I had the furitek lizard in it. A big bonus I've found is nudging it into reverse is a lot smoother than stock. It doesn't lurch backwards in the tight situations so you can crawl a lot more realistically. Top speed is about similar but the speed ramp up is more smooth with this high torque motor. Much more enjoyable than stock. No issues after a handful of charges so far.

Worked great for 5 weeks. Used the RC about a dozen times and the new motor burnt out, nothing very difficult just books and pillows, only inside since I got the new motor. Safe to say, not overly happy. Let's hope there is a warranty for it!

This motor is a must-upgrade for your SCX 24. HR motor mount is not required as you can upgrade a stock motor mount.

Didn’t purchase this from amain, ended up purchasing this and the motor plate from my LHS. If you have the stock motor on your scx24 is will eventually be a must have when your stock dynamite motor burns out. Had two friends with c10’s and both of their motors got burnt out at the same time. When I bought my c10 scx24 I bought this (along with the motor plate) right away since I knew about the issue. Haven’t had a ton of time with the motor on my own truck but used it lot on both of my buddies who replaced theirs with this motor. If your looking for a motor to upgrade the stock performance but not anything crazy this is the one to get. The motor is noticeably torquier and feels stronger. Also sounds better IMO. Seems to run cooler than the stock motor does. If your going to be doing any upgrades to any heavy wheels you will definitely want this motor eventually as the smaller stock motor will not cut it with some nice heavy wheels. Runtimes with this motor appear to be identical. This motor feels like it’s a hair just a hair faster. But the slow speed control is awesome, and with more torque it’s even better than the stock motor. Overall a great upgrade and can’t go wrong with this one in your scx24. Only down side is minor and you just have to chop the one passenger side support for the battery tray since the motor is a lot longer but I don’t even notice a difference with the one support gone.

CHECK YOUR MOTOR PLATE FIRST! My stock motor plate had the motor mount holes in the WRONG LOCATION. If you are not sure, order the SCX24 metal motor mount from this store, since it has four mounting holes. If you don't mind doing pretty easy modifications, then you can make the holes yourself. You will need a 5/64" bit, a drill, a flat metal file, a small nail set and a hammer. I just eyeballed where the holes should be and then used the nail set to start the two holes. There is not much metal for the hole, so be careful where you set and drill it. Once you have drilled it you will need to file down the exit side of the hole. Once I did that I was able to mount the motor. However, one more issue is how long the motor is. You will need to cut OFF the front right battery mounting post. There is no room for it with the longer motor. Once I did that, my truck is driving around again:)
