I am using the Mamba mini, but any brushed ESC will work. I can't find anything any better than the stock motors that isn't MUCH better than the stock motors. The 2.3mm shaft kinda limits options too. |

| ![]() I am confused, so the 454's are only slighlty better? i want to get some slower motors with more grunt on the low end.

The 454's are leaps and bounds above the stock motors. I just couldn't find anything in the middle. Either non-servicable stock motors or cobalts, nothing in between. The 454's are about 2.7x faster than stock, but they can be run on low voltage and still have tons of torque. |

Do you think that the 454 would work in the Losi?

| ![]() Because they are poser shots. I had already broken the front gear by the time I got sense enough to take pics. Again, the breakage was my fault for having too much power and using it without discretion. Well, since I was being a tool and broke a gear with some aftermarket power I decided to modify the truck a bit whilst it was taken apart. I just took the chassis off and bolted the axles up to a HBZ warthog tuber meant for an AX10. I used spare TLT kit links and emaxx ball ends for new linkages. I am waiting on parts from tower to get it driving again, parts I bought were extra gearsets, a ball bearing kit, extra dogbones, and the 11t pinions. I will be bringing it to the comp in KC for a play rig in the new form. Once I get the electronics installed I will get some more flex from the added weight. This is more of a play rig than a comp rig, as the tuber is heavier than it needs to be for this little build. This puppy will be a wheelie machine now! But I will have to take it easy until the metal replacement parts are ready. I really like this tuber with a short wheelbase. I will put body panels on later. |

What about the reedy 380's?? I think those are rebuildable maybe rewindable. I know when I put 1 in my 18r it actually slowed down. Il'l check tomorrow if the its truely servicable.

JRH I ran the motors for a while yesterday. WOW! They are sick man. You weren't kidding about how fast they are, and the torque is awesome. I put them in my fully optioned kit so I will bring it along with me to the Nats next week. I will call you later today. J |

Yep, got them in. I just need to hack a few tubes off the frame so I can put lower shocks on there. Will do after breakfast.
