could i do this?

[jayare2007mag]

i wanted to put a bigget brushless motor on my slash 1/16th and would i need a different esc and a different reciever or just a esc or can i just hook up the motor and go on my way?

Well what ESC and motor do you have now?

 

[hamz9561]

You would need a different ESC/motor combo and a big block mount You could mount a a 540 motor with big block mount.

i currently have the titan 380 motor and the xl 2.5 esc i was thinking of going dumb big like the
Velineon® 3500 Brushless Motor
with the
Velineon® VXL-3s ESC

To be honest, I have a MERV with the stock VXL 3m (380 sized) brushless system, and on 2s lipos it's plenty of power (and I'm the guy who swore I'd run 3s on it). With a full sized 540 brushless setup, I doubt any of the drive line survives for very long. But as hamz mentioned, they make kits to mount it up if you so choose.

I run my mERV on 3s and it is absolutely insane. I added the center diff just so I could keep its wheels on the ground and not on its lid.

It's just a stock Mini eRevo VXL and a 3s LiPo.

If you are really looking to go stupid fast but still controllable I would go with this

That is double the KV rating of the 3m system, and not suited for the MERVS intended use. If you want stupid power, do as hamz said and drop a big block setup in there.
