looking to upgrade Deadbolt motor

[JrocksSCX10]

I'm looking to change out the motor in my Deadbolt. Not looking to break the bank but not a cheap one either. Any recommend to look into as well as stay away from?
Thanks, Jay

What were your thoughts on the stock one? Too fast? Too slow? What do you put your truck through? Mud and mess? All rocks? Need to know what this truck is going to see before recommendations can be made.

Interested in this. Hoping he says too slow and sand... lol. Thats where Im at. Too slow in the sand. Im thinking cheap chinese brushless power for myself. But as Ascender said, need to know how the truck will be used before anything gets recommended.

YR Yeah Racing Hackmoto makes great motors from 13T to 55T for like 15.00 and are rebuild able.....I use the 27T in the TF2 slow or fast works great...while your there get the 1080 ESC...

I'm looking for better climbing over rocks. The motor in now is stock.

holmes hobbies has great stuff and very good customer support as well as having a thread where you can ask questions in the vendors section.

Tekin also makes good motors.

JMHO but if you're looking for a motor for some wheel speed and for 3S use that definitely will not break the bank...Titan 550 21T (it's the equiv of about a 27-29T 540 sized motor with far more torque and it runs far cooler). Great motor. Keeps pretty cool on 3S, loads of wheelspeed (not that much slower than a brushless Yeti on 2S) and it crawls great. Add in a $40 HW WP 80 for a great 3S waterproof programmable brushed ESC with a good BEC and you're seriously laughing.

It's a better combo than my son's brushless sensored SCX10 rig IMO. My son said today, Daddy, I like you bomber better as it's more fun...even he knows it's faster than his 2200kv setup and it crawls better...guess what I ordered tonight for his rig. Going from sensored brushless back to brushed. It just works better and I can replace motors that get trashed with dirt and water far more cheaply to boot.

The setup probably only costs $65 in the States.
