I have a Stampede XL5 completely stock with the exception of the new waterproof servo. Well I geared it to high and burnt out my Titan 12T 550 motor. So now I need a replacement, any ideas? I do not want to have to buy a new ESC or gears or anything.

BTW: I drive in all dirt!

You cant go wrong with this, best bang for the buck.........period.

will it work in the xl5?

Im assuming you have an XL5 esc.............if you do then yes, and you can run it on seven cells to really get it up and going, this motor has a rare combo of speed and torque, nothing but praise for it from everyone.

Ive been told that that motor is high maintenance, is that true?

In my experience, it's not any higher maintainence than any other rebuildable brushed motor. Keep it clean, oil the bushings, and it should be good until rebuild time. That is an awesome stock motor for sure. You'll be surprised by what a good 27T can do.

Okay thanks.
Do you know of any other motors that are good? I do all offroading and jumps, and I want my brushes to last awhile also

The Reedy Stockstar 27T is supposed to be excellent also.

I have the Co27 in one of my Pedes an it dose really good. Enough power to pull the wheels with 19t/86t gears<no slipper old straight style input> and enough torque tolug it up the hill in my yard. The other motor I have is a 19 turn Orion Method R, now I run that one in flat dirt at my local park. The part of the park I run in is the dirt track they use for Demo derbys and midget car oval, just rough enough to get some good jumps but smooth enough to run flat out if I want. It has more speed there than my 27t, BUT I cant run it at home cause it dont have enough torque to lug itself up my hills gearing on it is 17t/90t with a slipper. Have to run 17t to keep temps down. another motor I have heard good things about an is cheap is the http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXJ766&P=K Now I have no personal experince with this motor but have heard many good things about it and its ability to take more voltes than listed. More volts more power but carefull there cause more power can mean more heat and another fried motor.

Alright well thanks everybody. I decided to just get another Titan because I got it new for $15. Also I am just going to plan to go brushless soon

You can get something like this for a decent price...............shipped for under $100
