|  What new motor to get?
Hey gang. was wheeling around lasting in the yard and noticed my motor starting to smell a little funny. its a stock axial 27t but I wanted to get something ordered before it completely dies. I was looking at 550's and 540's and such but the options are a little over whelming. I thought to 27t suited my driving style well. I'm still a noob when it comes to driving so that being said not wuite ready to drop the cash on a nice HH motor. any advice on a good motor replacement would be awesome. I would like to stay on the cheaper side till I get a little better at driving. I don't mind if its a through away or rebuildable unit. I need to stay over 20t as well because of the stock esc. I was kinda leaning toward a 550 can size because of the higher torque but I am up for all ideas and opinions. Thanks in advance

What are you doing with the truck? More trailing or more crawling?  |

You need to lower the gear ration so you don't burn up your new motor. A 16t pinion would work better than stock and keep the motor cooler. You can get a Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster Sport for not too bad of a price. Other low cost option would be the HH Trail Master sport. |
