Hello there. I just bought a Trinity Micro Monster "Wild" motor for my Mini Giant. It works fine and runs much faster; but the motor, ESC, and battery heats up WAY too much after a run. The truck's run-time is also very short. Is it that I am running with the wrong motor so I'm actually ruining the truck?

Maybe I should get a Venom Fireball 370 motor? or the Mamba? Suggestions please.

Im thinkin that you shuold get the fireball from venom. the trinity is probly pulling too much current. if your talkin about the brushless mamba,your also gonna have to upgrade all the electronics. oh yeah-if im lucky, the lhs is gonna get bought out of a complete set of hopups for my mini giant

I re-soldered on the stock 280N motor. That will take care of the heat and the run-time. I will also get some hop-ups for the Mini Giant when they come out. Since I now have the extra motor, aluminum pinions, heat sink spacer, and a body, I will buy a Losi Mini-T. Any suggestions for hop-up parts?
