need more speed

[BrandonG]

im new to the crawler thing.but i love the scale look and bought a venom to modify.its a good truck has the stock venom motor with a axial esc.i know its a crawler so its got low gears,high torque,etc....but i still want to be able to drive on trails and stuff faster than a turtle.i been looking at the goat motor and esc compos..if i do something like that will it move alittle faster? or can i just change the pinn gear? also is there anyhting wrong with putting a stock traxxas esc and brushless motor in it? sorry for all the questions but please help me

A brushed 35T motor and 2S LiPo should get you well above "turtle" speed, and possibly past walking pace as well.

I have a couple videos for you.

this video is with a 7.2 pack in stock location and a 55t novak motor with a 27t pinion and a duratrax esc out of an evader.

This video has a 2800kv brushless motor and esc. Both Tazer brand. Stock 15t pinion. In this video I use both a 2S and a 3S battery. I stretched the creeper and got the battery lower too.

This video is straight 3S battery, other then some shock work its the same set up as the other video.

For where I am there is no technical/precision rock crawling, only sand and dirt hills. So I like both the 2S and 3S batteries in mine. I have had some driveshaft issues though, especially the front.

If you do a lot of really technical crawling then stay with a nice brushed set up. You'll save parts too.

Hope these videos help.
