Dude the frenzy has been sick so far, no cogging, nice torque, fast wheel speed, and I can't find anyone else running it , but you need larger diameter bolts to mount it and drill out the holes in the mounting plate to line up with the holes in the frenzy motor. The stock pinion can be used if you turn it around and grind off some of the length of the pinion. $13 for the motor . I'm editing a video now .will be up soon .  |

if you are picking between the two i have the Slider motor in mine and it ups your wheel speed alot. but if you upgrade to this motor invest in the metal tranny gears. I just striped all of mine at a comp today.

I run a Sportwerks E-Racers motor on mine. It was < $12 at the LHS and is a great balance of torque and wheelspeed.

It is but for you to put the stock pinion on you either have to drill out your pinion gear, or sand down the motor shaft | |

the intengy drive shafts from what ive read and what ive seen are week. i use the traxxas drive lines that are way better they are plastic but hold up way better than the stock ones and alot of the metal ones. The only thing i would say to change is the tranny gears. To swap them to metal...
