| Trx4 motor change
Has anyone switch the stock motor and put in an Integy 55 turn and how did it perform. Would the gear ratio really change drastically, thinking about purchasing a sport.

Why go down to a wimpy 540-sized can? The 550-sized larger can provides ample torque, if you think you want it to crawl slower, just get a 27t Holmes TrailMaster Sport 550 to replace the 21t Traxxas Titan - they're only $20. Really great budget motor, and they last forever. |

I dropped a HH 550 trailmaster sport 27t with a 9 tooth pinion in mine just the other day. It has torque like crazy and can still blow donuts in high gear on loose surfaces and smooth concrete. I had to lock my slipper clutch cause it has so much. You can get the trailmaster in 35 and 45 turn I think, but you might want a slipper eliminator if your going that route. Good luck!

Thanks guys, I'm just used to having that torque while crawling at really slow speed. at that time used to crawl with a Axial Rubicon Jeep which was set up for slow crawl. Unfortunately I had a minor setback and had to sell everything. just getting back into the hobby.

Gearing down will also help with your slow speed torque but smoothness will come from the esc and motor I’ve noticed the stock esc isn’t as smooth as my hobbywing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Before spending any money on a new motor, I would recommend installing the 9t pinion on the Titan 21t motor first. This will improve slow speed torque.

| Re: Trx4 motor change You are so right, nothing like figuring out how to go up some rocks and at what angle and watching the suspension do its thing. Happy belated birthday, mine was December 27 a few days back.

You'll love the sport, I got one a few months ago. The single speed trans comes with a 17 tooth pinion, smallest you can go is 15 tooth without changing to a bigger spur gear. 15 tooth works well, crawls great and still had enough wheel speed
