Default Mini lst motors & other questions

What are good motors to run in a stock mini lst. I would like a lot of torque but also good top speed.

Are the diff upgrades needed?

Also how do you fit a mini t style 7 cell battery in the mini lst>?

Honestly brushless is going to only be slightly more then dual brushed.

I would have to disagree with you on your comment. My Mini-LST with a Mamba 8000kv and a 7cell pack is faster then a stock Mini-LST.

My bad guys!

I meant cost wise brushless will only be slightly more. A good pair of brushed is going to run about $80. An extra $20 will get you more power and efficiency.

the trinity monster 17t are good motors, pretty fast, and your stock esc can handle them.

Hand modified.

Yes, dual brushless is possible, just not that practical. Speed is not much higher then with a single motor, just more torque.
