Default To much power....?

So I'm rebuilding my mud truck this winter. I was running a HH brxl and 7t puller, at our first group mud run I was the only one running brushed. Everyone was running brushless (vxl,vanguard,Novak) I had a thought today at work about running a dual motor plate with dual vxl. Think it's to much?
I've already go full RRP gears, MIPS, gen3 slipper, HD gears, vanquish trans case

Never too much power, just not enough skill.

Oh and there's a saying that relates to this but is for 1:1 trucks, "there's no replacement for displacement" you can never have to much power, just weak parts and a lead foot/finger

Pro4 HD 4300kv on 3s. Gear down and you will have torque that can't be stopped

What is the frame, and transmission. Thats the limiting factor on motors. That and your wallet

Doubling up is silly when you can step up to one mamba monster with a 2200 on minimum 3s and wipe those vxl's off the map.

Well already having one vxl is why I thought of it, I've wanted to get a MMP and pro4 just waiting on the funds, I want something that's just gonna chew and spit their trucks up

Then save ur money and buy an mmp and pro4 3300kv or bigger. I had this in my trail truck at over 8lbs with 1.9's and could go anywhere the guys with 2.2s made it

The mmp is great but if you really want to get it on run that motor off of an rx8. In simple terms the rx8 puts out more amperage therefore mo' power.

What are you talking about? Esc's don't "put out" amps.

The esc's are rated in amperage output. From some quick digging I've found that the MMP is 100 continuous and the rx8 II is 220 amp continuous. Perhaps my terminology is off but sit sure smells like I'm right.
