ZD racing D16 drift car upgrade

[Robertkelly123]

Hello , I have the above car which I am well pleased with, very reliable and runs for 30 mins.
Anyway, I am considering installing a higher amp esc to run the model on a 3S, which should
make it like a rocket! So what amp esc should I buy, is it 45amp, or 60 amp.Also if I run it with
the stock motor will it burn out because of this higher voltage, or would it last OK.

how many kv motor does it have and what pinon are you going to run..more voltage will need less watts or amps ...I always like more amps if you have the space..

The motor is this one: K2435-B so don't know the KV maybe you do? I was going to use the original pinion in it already
don't know if that is wise, it's all I have at the moment. Once I got higher amp esc in it (45/60 ?) have a test run and if all
seems well then I've cracked it, should be ballistic like.I think the motor should be able to handle 11.1 volts as most of them have a
voltage range. I could do alternate runs on 3s then 2s so I won't be straining car too much.

I think the motor is 3300 KV.
