See but that's exactly what I don't want. I don't want to spend 400 on this truck and then spend another 350 on a new motor esc and a 4s lipo. I think it's a little ridiculous tying up 800 bucks into a 1/10 scale truck.
I totally understand. You did ask for "stupid quick", lol!
You can run the VXL system on 3S lipo and play with your gear ratio to your liking, monitor your temps until you find a happy medium. Still change out the motor mount to the KingHeadz one would be a good idea.
I like that comment about ridiculous and money, but, isn't this hobby all about ridiculous and it's upgrades. You will eventually pay for it...
All my models have been overly modified and that is part of the fun.
