| Dual motor 4wd
Hi all? New here and new to RC cars. I've got my hands on a vintage 1/8 crawler that currently has dual brushed motors running off a single esc. Is it possible to switch to brushless with either a single dual (of such a beast exists) or twin esc"s? I am using Flysky GT5... Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk |

You'll need dual ESC's to run 2 brushless motors.

First post? Welcome to the site! Yes, there are twin motor brushed and brushless ESCs. But like ferp said, brushless would destroy that truck unless you treat it delicately. |

I had one of those. Sorry but they are not worth to upgrade, much less to brushless...Those tires are crap, for instance

get some 2.2 tires with as close to 6" as you can get the j-conrips riptures " fake j-concepts ruptures"in 2.2 are decent tires and are vary and cheap and 2.2 wheels are also cheap just don't over power it and be nice to it and it should hold up just fine | |
