I hit wrong option lol
I'd like to put an 8s and do that but I dont have the know how to swap out all the other stuff I'd need to
Thanks @Greywolf74
I just want.something that will pull ridiculous weight lol
After the motor I'll have to swap out driveshafts

Get the lowest KV motor you can get and put a tiny pinion on it and you'd prolly be surprised how much it could pull on 3S. That rig would never stand up to 6S, much less 8S

Barely stands up to 3s.

It's in the mail already baby!

So I got boreded
I put the motor from the Basecamp on it
The esc from the ecto
And used same reciever.
Had a few issues
Biggest one being that the cens motor still turns????? I had it hooked up to new motor and.all that and was having issues getting it to bind.
At first it just sat there then I swapped the esc out and it came on.

Took driveshaft off to get the transmission out a little easier
Swapped motors
Did mesh
And nothing.... no power
So I swit he'd esc
Nothing no power then I realized the esc I was using didn't have a power switch h maybe that's the issue?
Is bound to fsgb3 controller now
So I swap it out again now reverse is forward and vice versa AAAAAND servo won't respond....
So I dunno why but I swap motors and reconnect the stock cen motor and it jumps off the table when I give it gas
So I reconnect the 35t motor and the reedy esc and the stock reciever and she works like normal!
Noice!
No power but is a factory Basecamp motor so meh.
Point is she mobile again
YEET!

Glad its back up and running!

I'd say more limping than anything lol
I'll have to find am esc for that motor you suggested then we can see how it does

 

[WickedFog]

Holmes makes some nice brushed ESC's also.

Tho only one i keep seeing is 100+$$ I must be overlooking it

I said nice. Not cheap

Point taken I just thought I was being silly considering a 120$ esc for a 50$ motor
But if this is what I needs then this is what I shall get

Yeah. Hobbywing has some pretty decent brushed ESC's for less money too. Since you want to use it for pulling, I would get something with a lot of amperage capability. No idea what that motor's going to pull when put under a heavy load. Maybe @Greywolf74 can give you some more ideas.

You could go brushless too, and go with a decent combo. At $150, you're already in the HW Fusion Pro price range.

I just worry your weak point is going to be your diff gears and those skinny axles if you try to pull too much uphill.

Yeah I worry about them as well once I have a little time and money I should order sets to have on hand
Axles and hardened steel driveshafts
Is adding up quick so I'll just baby it till it breaks pffft me baby an rc lololol

If you're just going to pull things with it then Id probably get a 120A Hobbywing ESC.

I picked up a motor at the hobby shop today
It's not really the one I want but this factory axial .motor is strait doodie for my purposes
I still plan on grabbing that 55t motor but for now this 45t should be Hella better for now
