Default How strong is the RC4WD Fracture V8?
I'm contemplating building a scaler using the Fracture V8/ transmission/ transfer case. I'm worried that it might be all show and no go. Does anybody have any input on these?

Well hello there Mr. Contradition, nice to meet you.

A 60t cheap motor isn't likely to break much of anything.

I'm going with a cheap 60 turn brush motor because nobody has any imput on how much power it can handle. If it can handle a 60t on a stick pack then i'll try a 35t on 2s then if it proves to be bullet proof I'll bust out with a 3s 120a esc and 3500kv. I don't wanna blow it up right off the git go

Or.... Just saying.... You could always call or email rc4wd and ask what it can handle power wise instead of guessing
