What's the most powerful motor/esc can you hook up to this thing?

From my understanding you can hook whatever you want to it. The esc only sends an allotted amount to the receiver. I currently have a 14.8v 3300 mah that is on a DYNAM SMART TRAINER. It works fantastic.

Need to find out what your motor can handle? 2c 3c 4c? Using a 4c with that motor will be crazy fast.

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.

No you have to buy the esc for that motor unless your traxxas already had that motor

No sir. Only 2S as is. However, if you use a lower kv motor than you would be able to do so, but out of the box you are looking at 2S. Check out this link....http://www.castlecreations.com/products/sidewinder_sct.html. 3S will work, but you will burn out the motor and ESC. Put it on an RC under six pounds for best performance.

This motor & ESC combo can use both Li-po and Nimh batteries. You have to set up your throttle control, but its programed for Li-po. You can reprogram it for NimH if you want. The combo is rated for 11.v 3s batteries max.

Go to your local hobby store that sells RC cars. They should have different connectors that should work with what is on your ESC. If not you will have to buy and replace all of your connections to the same connectors. I have multiple cars and I use Deans connectors on all of them. They can handle as much battery as you can give them.

Yes you can. They sell a separate Power Pack containing Himaxx motor, Castle Creations Thunderbird 36 ESC, and a 13 x 4E APC prop. It is expensive but good. Others are available for less. Or you can just buy what you need from any dealer.

Mamba max motor and esc, upgraded gearing, etc. Google is your friend there.

I would recommend at least a 2S lipo battery, you won't be sorry. Tested with a NiMh, but I got a lot more power and runtime with a 2S lipo. I didn't bother to reprogram the ESC just to have the NiMh as a spare, so it's been in storage ever since.

Unless you gear it down your likely to over heat the esc this setup is really meant for 16th scale rc vehicles. Anything over 5 lbs is to much wieght for the the esc to push power to the motor

I did a google search and found that it *might* be a 300W motor, which is pretty standard. It has three speeds so it might be more.

I can't find any data on how powerful the motors are in either of these models. Everyone says they are powerful, but what watts are the motors for each?

Lower temps and a Esc and motor that can handle up to 6S power. If you run both these systems on 3S the velineon might go a bit faster but 3S is all the VXL can handle. As soon as you put this thing on 4S+ it hauls ass and is the fastest 8th scale motor you can buy. No other motor on the market that I know can go as fast as this thing and it has a bucket loads of TORQUE! Basically the lower the KV the more torque and the higher the KV the more top speed. The reason why this so fast is because there's no other 8th scale motor with as high of a KV as this one that can handle 6S power that I know of. If that makes sense?

I can't tell you if the factory esc will take it but I put a castle creations sct combo in mine for 100 bucks and the truck handles it very well.I bought this truck just to put brushless in because of the all steel gears It def. needs a wheelie bar tho. I am trying to put a bigger pinion on it and the 48p pinions I have don't fit right, so I found Redcat racing pinions online, haven't tried them yet. I love this truck !! Have Fun !!
