I said the same thing at first, then I saw Jim's videos. You could use the setup that I was originally going to use: 19T Orion V2 pro-bearing motor, Proboat waterproof ESC, and a good quality battery. |

Yes, and yes, but sooner or later you'll go brushless!. |

Worthy of the Trax!

Get the sidewinder with 5700kv motor, it will make your machine new again. Trust us. Get rid of those damn brushes! I would have gone with a 19t motor personally if I had stayed. Still get some torque out of them. |

I just ordered that combo from the "bay" after watching a vid ( on youtube I think ) of someone running that setup - - - a rocket by far........  now if the freezing rain would just get back to snow ( it should be here any day  )( combo included the "sidewinder" ) |

I finaly buyed one "Associated Lrp GT3 Turbo Motor 19T Double" but I dont get any more speed or power then my stock can 27T and the motor and esc get very smoking hot ... I use stock gearing 17T Pinion - 86T Spur ... which one gearing would help me alot to get max speed from my 19T motor and running less warm ? |

and Do I can use this : Traxxas Titan 550 Motor 12T ? My DF-300 EP got one LRP A.I. Automatic Runner Plus Reverse ( ESC ) I know it support only 15T + motor but I have read somewhere I can use it this motor without problem because a 550 size motor its like a 540 size 14 - 15T ... and I think im going to use 22 - 23T pinion with the stock spur gear 86T. |
