Like Maximus stated you need to provide us with what ESC, motor and batteries you were planning to put in your truck so we can give you advise.

well i was just told i cant used a 540 size brushless motor because of the torque and that is has to be a 550 size
i run 2s lipo pack  and my 2wd system is dtx element 3900kv  but i have another system a hpi 5700 kv flux sprint drift 2 set up.... i was wanting to know if i need to sell my stuff and buy 550 size motor with esc ? or if i can keep my stuff and have plenty of power without over heating and so on .. any help would be great
