Pulling my hair out

Since redcat won't help me anyone no where I can find colored aluminum parts for my redcat blackout xte and I need a bigger motor I need speed

amazon has a few colors....new motor thats easy.. get a less turn motor of same size you have now..looking it says it has a 550 brushed now.. so find out the turns and anything with less will be faster on same # of cells.gonna need a new esc to run brushless.

Ok brother I appreciate it do you have any recommendations

The brushless version of that truck comes with this:
3800KV RC540 Brushless Motor, Waterproof 45A brushless ESC

Appears they intend for it to run at max on 2S lipo. I'm not sure of the measurements of the motor... seems a bit generic.

This would likely work ok, you would need to increase the pinion size a bit to get the most out of it:
https://www.amazon.com/38010200-Max10-3660SL-3200kV-Sensorless/dp/B073DCT1X8

The castle sct sv3/3800kv combo would likely have been a good fit as well, but it's hard to come by. Can still find the combo on ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Castle-Cre...mbo-3800kv-Motor-Cooling-Fan-ESC/303471125126

However, the HW setup is likely better. Has a stronger BEC in it.

Guessing you could get away with something cheap like a goolrc setup:

Likely need a new pinion regardless what you buy, so you will have to figure out the pitch and shaft size, then go up a couple teeth over what you have now. Go too big and it will just overheat the motor/esc.

Id stay with the 540 size motor not sure a 550 will fit .

There is a few here, https://www.rcplanet.com/?msclkid=21903bd479491269957f65e722c62f31 and yes a 550 will fit. It comes with a RC550 brushed. There isn't many aluminum upgrade parts but there is some. Direct from the manufacture has some as well...

there is also the Hobbywing Max10 (non SCT version) supposed to handle up to 3s, though only 30-40$ more for 4s capability might be worth it for some.
i have the max10 in the ladies granite and it does really well.
