I heard that the titan 12t motors have been known to burn up so I say we can change the motor but it has to be a TURE 12t motor..... I know they might be cheap but with my luck I don't want to be buying 12 titan motors so I can find one that wont brun up.. Open for discustion.......

No more that a 7 cell pack because the XL5 Doesn't like 8 cell packs.
Run the stock ESC,motor, and servo.
You can change the TX and RX to your liking.
Cool.

The speed contol will handle it, but it doesn't like it trust me on that. As for the motors I think a 12t 550 can or a 15t 540 can motor would be great.
