Is that a LCC with the MOA conversion?? Interesting.
Those sorta look like the Novak Goat (although those, IIRC, used orange clear plastic cases).
I would just use them for now and program the GT3B with the dual ESC template.

They are cheap HK ESC's, cant say how well they would work in this build as I doubt they have much of a drag brake.

Also throw those motors away, they are complete junk. I bought one to try out and ran it for 10 min and now its in my spare parts bin and it wont come out ever.

Unsensored brushless motors, they are not smooth at all and made it impossible to crawl. If you have a go fast that needs a decent little motor then throw them in there, otherwise you are better off throwing in a cheap machine wound brushed motor in your crawlers.

SMR may have missed that you have a worm drive rig.
1-They eat brushed motors, even good ones.
2-The worm drive acts as the drag brake, so the ESC is not as much of an issue.

Set up dual ESC on the hacked GT3B and go run it.

If you toast something, then look to upgrade.

i was wandering about the motors. i have a venom that has a 3000kv tacon on it and it will go where ever i want it to.. i didnt think it would but it has 87spur 15 pinion and i can run a 2s and it will just walk right up any thing. if i put the 3s on it pulls wheelies. that why i thought the motors would be godd for the kids being 1000kv only.

these worm axles are crazy. after removing the motors the axles would not turn by trying to spin the wheels. it is though they were locked. but turned like butter when i used the pinion gear on the axle. had me stumped for min.
