Default One wheel not spinning?

One of my rear wheels is slipping... rig is a hsp rgt 18000, same feat as exceed redact and other brand axles drive train etc.
Also looking to get little more speed, battery best way to speed her up or is a new motor good way to go.
Have lots of Dewalt drills sitting around was wondering about salvaging one of the motors from a 18v will it run of lower voltage.

You could run from 3s up to 5s Lipo packs.

On a HSP crawler? No. That ESC is intended for no hire than 3s lipo.

Sounds look a plastic locker stripped out definitely upgrade the lockers before you power up.

Best way to speed it up is with a combo of motor and gearing. You've most likely striped the diff locker in the axle. That's why the wheel isn't spinning.

Sorry guys, I forgot the ESC only support up to 3S. As the OP mentioned above the motor rated 18v, so I mean could be up to 5s
