Default More power questions

Heres what I have Rooster titan550 txt choped up chassis also running stock tranny and 9 tooth pinion 3300 7 cell batt.

What Can i get for more grunt? I have tried my titan 550 and the stock txt motorand they both blow. i have read that the lathe motors while long in run time don't have the balls to get the job done. i just want a motor that will let me crawl but also get over the ledges.

Part of your problem is running the Titan motor off 1 battery, it'll only run at 1/2 speed compared to 2 batts.

Lathe motors are torquey and work great, that's what I run. I also installed a GD-600 reduction unit. My wheelspeed is on the slow side, but I have TONS of torque!!

Another combo is a Mag Mayhem motor with a GD-600. That seems to be a good blend of torque and wheelspeed for most people.

I run a lathe motor in a solid axle maxx and snapped both left side slider shafts. Thats what blows!!!!

i agree with Bendover Titans run half speed on 1 battery and they suck

go with a MM motor and a gd600
