slickrock mud motor
 

Hey guys, I just added a rx280 motor to my Slick Rock...love the wheel speed, hate the lack of torque. I do mostly mud and a little trail riding. Is there a motor available that provides simliar wheel speed with more torque? I'm still using the stock battery, would a 2s lipo and a smaller tooth pinion gear help give the slider motor more torque? Thanks

Yes, a 2s lipo will definitely help. That was the first thing I put in my son's SR. I think I ran the stock NiMH battery once. Even on 2S right now, though, it's extremely slow. Added a set of Axial 8-holes and 1.9 TSL's and it just doesn't cut it now. Running a MadDog 1300 mAh 2S and placed it inside the body on the lower driver's side, basically sitting on the skid plate and attached with 3M Dual Lock. I think my kid's will be getting a new motor very soon, though. I run a Reedy 19T stump puller in my MRC and it's more than enough with the 2S battery. So may go that route.

Does anybody have a specific motor they can recommend for the slickrock with more torque that fits good . My stock motor is going out .

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Insane 370, or the cobalt motor. Big price difference between the two. Search for the cobalt motor on here and see what you think.

I've been thinking about getting one of the cobalt motors. Should I get the 26T or the 45T?

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Afraid I can't answer that one. Don't have any experience with them myself. Guess it friends on if you want speed or torque. I'm not to a point yet of replacing the motor in my kid's slick rock just yet.

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Ah, ok. I have a novak 380 i mine right now so I don't really need a new motor, yet.:mrgreen:

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Can that insane 370 just be swapped , or do i need something else to make it work,
I am not interested in speed but torque

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

I also have a tendency to order wrong parts , any chance you can include part # or url ?
Thanks in advance

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Anyone ?

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Should just drop in.

Here's a link to the Insane, just google the part #:
Losi: Insane 370 Motor(1): MLST/2, MRAM: Losi (LOSB0837)

Here's a link to the promax cobalt motors which will work too:
Promax Cobalt Motors

Or you could get a team brood frenzy. It's in their mini section."thumbsup"

Re: slickrock mud motor
 

Well, then time for a promax cobalt or a brood frenzy.:mrgreen:
