hi i have a few questions about crawlers.
so I'm looking on youtube and i stumble across rock pirates rc. their rigs look so badass. i see the they make stuff specifically to fit certain models,
ie: The Rock Pirates RC Kraken VRD is a Low Center of Gravity (LCG) Comp Chassis. The Kraken VRD is a direct fit to the Vanquish VRD Carbon and VRD Stance RTR.
does this mean that it will match up perfectly to the pre existing holes on the vanquish frame but thast it CAN fit others? or is it spoecifically designed with that specific model in mind?
i get that i am probably really overstepping and wasting my time currently with considering this type of upgrade. but id rather decide on an idea of how i WANT my rig to look and go from there rather than buying say a trx4 which seems hella dope. but its not the end product i want.
how do i decide what i need to upgrade?
i broke my bangood rc. fried the ESC I'm pretty sure. i put a 3s battery in it and it is only rated for 2 s, the steering works but no go or reverse.
so i decided i must have burnt the ESC, i ordered a new esc and motor its on the way. now after the fact I'm wondering... will i have to change gears and pinions? or will i be abl;e to just glue in the new parts and rock it?
i added the spec sheet for the truck heres a link to new motor and esc https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BY55NTC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
the factory motor is 2840 4000kv brushless
the new motor is 2838 4500KV Sensorless Brushless Motor
i understand the 2840/2838 are size measurements and the 4k is my power. since the new motor is slightly larger numbers on kv, will that screw my gears up? also i just noticed the reciever is a part of the factory esc... do i need to get a reciever now as well? i got in a little deeper than i was ready for lol
