need answer quick
 

i searched quickly and did not see what i needed. I have a bunch of parts on order including a replacement motor..... i have a stock rtr wraith and fried the motor..... my lhs has a orion 17 motor for cheap that i want to buy for the time being..... will it work and what will the outcome be with the stock esc and gears? I pass the shop on the way home from work and am already passed quitting time so im waiting on an answer before i leave... thanks in advance.

be patient I know its easier said than done. but if you have money to burn get it and maybe take the other motor off the buy list.

Re: need answer quick
 

but yes, it should work as long as its a brushed motor.

Re: need answer quick
 

it will work but the 20T brushed that comes stock is already over geared with a 20t pinion & 80t spur (4:1)
If you are looking for speed that motor will be faster (& probably less torque)than the stock but I predict major heat issues unless you get that spur / pinion ratio up.
I run a 14t pinion & 87t spur for a 6.21:1 ratio.
I burned up my stock 20T very fast with that 4:1 stock ratio & a lower turn motor will go even faster.

21t traxxas titan...get one at your lhs....since you are on a time crunch.

+1

Best motors I have used.. Especially since they're just $23
Way more torque than stock and can be geared up for speed without heat issues.
I run mine on 3s and still have no heat issues.

well i ended up getting the orion... I got a 14 tooth pinion as well, while i was there... which put me at a 5:1 ratio.. i know not optimal, however after about 2 mins of pillow crawling everything was still pretty cool so I'm quite happy about that... now i need a servo lol... can't wait till my shipment comes in :mrgreen:
