Hey Guys,
So this is my Daughter's ECX Barrage (purple truck)
the only thing i've done to it is replace the servo with a stronger metal geared one... (because the stocker pretty much instantly stripped lol). New body, lights, and decent wheels/tires.
It does pretty well actually but the motor gets CRAZY hot really quickly. Yesterday we were out crawling and it only lasted 5-7 mins before it bogged down and would barely move. the motor was extremely hot and after cooling it ran again, but it feels like the motor may be on it's way out.
i have a 380 motor out of a traxxas mini slash as well as a latrax motor.
On youtube i saw some people swapped out to these but i couldn't find any info on how they ran (even on the ECX upgrade post on here).
Just wanted to see if anyone was running either of these. I was contemplating the 380 motor and doing like an 12t pinion. I just didn't want to waste my time if it's not worth it. Or if there's a better option out there.
Thanks!
