Default RE: Is Traxxas using drill motors?

ORIGINAL: Lilredmachine

You'd need to look for a higher RPM motor. The one above would run 12,500 RPM at 6v, so would give you (given efficiency loss) around 22,000rpm on a fully charged 11.1v lipo (say 12 volts), with more torque than the Titan 12t. You could gear it up to make up the rpm difference but that may affect both the life and the performance of the motor, worth a try though. if you were to run twin 7 cell packs through an E-maxx or E-savage ESC though, you would have an absolute rocket ship on your hands.
This thread is getting GOOD! Im needing a big improvement in my stock tamiya tb-02.Im looking for something close to my friends Pede VXL.How many RPM'S is a VXL turning?Can we find a "drill" motor thats a rocket in a 1/10 single motor in the 7.2 to a 3s lipo range?Im useing a tazar esc rated doun to a 15T
