Swayed by the Trax Posts: 12 Group: Member Member #185 Joined: February 6, 2007	I got an df-300 with a super rooster, and team orion 6x2 revolution modified engine, stock gearing, works wery well for bashing! But now i have built a blow for it, and want to use something with a lot of torque, but i still dont want to loose the speed.. What about graupners speed 600? i also just bought this kit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...24573&rd=1&rd=1 Does anyone have any information about it? Dosent look like it fits the ev, but ill give it a go. If it aint possible to make it fit, ill put it on the shelf until i find a DX.:)

I hated to gear down and go slower... I also tried a 19turn motor and it was a failure. Just didn't have the torque... So I tried Chris's dual motor plate and it def. solved the torque problem. Now its a matter of being able to gear it up enough. Its a much cheaper option then going brushless.
