Status: offline 		time to experiment then hehehe..

motors are faily cheap, i tried a few with my 12t esc but i cant find any that can handle 8 cells, most motors are 7 cell so they burn out really quick!!

Status: offline 		i was thinking s-600's or t-600's because 550's will fit. i do belive 600's are the same size i'll only run say 6 cells maybe 7 if i get creative. i'll see what i can do i would like brushless and lipo but that doesnt go with water and mud very good.

Status: offline 		i think you need to be carefull with a 550 motor because wont it hit on the rear spring?

i was just on ebay looking for 550 motors, i have a hornet pinion that i could use s i dont need the motor spacer, was thinking of a 23t 550 motor running on 9.6v with a hornet pinion (18 teeth)

Status: offline 		Try the stock setup first.. if it is really THAT slow for you.. then maybe you can try the bigger pinion... Hopefully it won't overheat the ESC / motor when you do!

Interesting, you guys get them shrink wrapped? All kits in Germany are not!
Makes me want to buy a Gold Edition and keep it all wrapped up!
