Yep, there's quite a few options...actually probably too many to list. The first thing we need to know is what type of Transmitter you are using.

Perfect. Ditch the M2 and get dual ESCs. Most guys run Tekin FXRs or Castle Mamba Micro Pros, but there are other options for you. The 4PL will mix the two ESCs. You will want to check the serial number to see if it has the firmware upgrade or not. If it starts with 010 it is the old version, if 012 its the new one and won't need to be upgraded.

I just got it like a week ago so I am still trying to figure it out and I would like to get new motors to but I dont know which ones because I just finished my truck two days ago and went to try it out and the rear motor was smoking a little

Then you are fine with the radio, it has the firmware updated already.

I'd check under Harley's build thread. Look around, all sorts of info on wiring dual ESCs, the big thing is that your radio can handle it!

Yeah definitely just spend some time reading and figuring out what's what. Informed decisions are always better around here...and you'll only make a good informed decision if you inform yourself...otherwise you're operating on nothing but opinions. Opinions can be good, but if you're into this hobby you won't mind spending some time reading through some build threads and reviews to see what works and what doesn't.

Harley's thread is a great place to start since he does a good job explaining things.

Do you mean you can't find them in stock or just can't find them?

Try RPP or VP websites.

Give the ESC a chance, I run it on a berg and it works great, start by changing out the motors. try some Holmes 45t. Only thing I had to do to get it to run better was the firmware update from Novak.

You need to do sone serious research man. Just search and read. I have VERY detailed videos explaining how to wire stuff up. It doesn't just apply to dual ESC's. You just need to flip the wires on the rear motor.

I run the dual FX-R escs and love the way they go together and are set up, but beware on retarded questions because you will be set aflame for them The search button is your best friend here since there is a VAST amount of information already covered from what most people need help on
