|  Element Trailwalker
So I bought a Trailwalker last night. Tested it out. It needs some suspension tuning. I had some Axial BFG Allterain tires and rims laying around put them on. It’s ok. Crawls better with more ground clearance. My local 4x4 shop is doing a competition . I showed up. The thing is SLOW next to any of the Axial products. Mine came with a 5 pole 16 turn motor. I’m running 2 cel LiPo 5200 mah batteries. Ideas I need speed and torque Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

3s would be a start and/or bumping up to a 3 slot 27t-30t area. Then there is brushless of course. You can play with gearing but you wont be getting any speed out of a 5 slot 16t even on 3s. Going to 3 s will help a bunch and if you have one sitting around might be worth a try.

A quick fast course with some small rocks. An obstacle bridge. Dirt. Nothing like some of the true rock crawls I’ve done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

I've got no complaints from my Sendero on 3S packs with identical electronics. It's no speed demon, but these aren't rock racers, either. 2-speed TRX-4s will be quicker, of course - but at a much higher cost. |

Also in the 3S NO LESS club. The wheelspeed is there if / when you need it.

I bought a 3s 4100 mah small battery. It woke that little truck up. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
