Yes you can. I have been running speed pack 1400 mah 11.1 v for a year. No problems with burning motor out.

Imho, it can handle bolt on upgrades. If you want to go force induction, you would want to go stage 2 and above depending on the power level.

To: Terry PikeWhen I built mine I did all the lighting and the Bussard motors myself. I just got a couple of HO train electric motors (which were about $12.00 each) and wired them to a small voltage regulator. I run the motors on about 4 to 4.5 volts to get the correct speed. The motors themselves are about 2 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, so they fit nicely into the front of the nacelles. I left the whole Bussard assembly loose so that I can take it out and make repairs if necessary. The way the ring assembly snaps into place with the three supports on the bottom of the nacelle makes this easy to do.Hope this is helpful to you.

Might want to start with a bit smaller battery. 7.4V Lipo, mah number translates into runtime. Save some money with shorter runtime. Lipo will be noticeable difference especially with brushless motors. Nice truck, you'll like it. I recommend the sway bar kit from Traxxas, cheap upgrade, much better handling.

cheap motors, if you flew it 30 days you got a good batch of motors. don't by the LaTraxx replacement motors. save money and invest in something else.

It honestly broke the first 10min i had it and buying parts are difficult and takes a very longtime to get. I suggest looking into traxxas rc. I now own two and i love them! Losi is also agood product as well as redcat.

Powermaster rc nitro fuel 20%Works best for me for this car. Just be careful not to wreck the new ride getting parts for this is a waiting process Because you can only buy replacement parts online. Cool car though we love ours til the last time we wrecked it :-)

You'll need to replace the single BT-50 motor mount tube with three BT-20 motor mount tubes, plus modify the centering rings to allow for them. Not an easy conversion except for advanced model builders. Clustering adds quite a bit of complexity; if a motor fails to ignite or all motors don't ignite at the same time, the model will become unstable. Many modelers have strengthened the motor mounting and successfully flown the model with composite-propellant rocket motors the same diameter as the Estes D black powder motors.

Chris, a number of reviews (mine included) list suggested components. The beauty of an R/C kit is that *you* get to build and customize it to suit your needs. That said, I know that the Grasshopper is aimed for beginners and beginners don't always know everything they need. You might be best served by purchasing an XB (expert build) version of a Tamiya car. The Grasshopper XB is ASIN: B000FGBME2. It comes with all you need to run it. Other brands of R/C cars call these types of cars RTR or "ready to run". If you still want to build this car and do it as cheaply as possible I suggest the following items: Futuba Attack 2DR remote ASIN: B000ZMATRC Tenergy batteries (X2) and a charger ASIN: B001BKPAR6 Highly suggest that you get a sealed ball bearing kit ASIN: B00MOD2F68 While the Grasshopper is *supposed* to ship with an electronic speed control (ESC) some vendors are pulling the ESC to sell sepertely which IMHO is dishonest. If you don't get the ESC you're supposed to I suggest this one by Neewer. ASIN: B00CIPTPRY I've been using it with my Grasshopper and it works quite well. Contrary to what Miguel stated, the car does ship with a motor. It's a type 380 which is not as fast as the more standard type 540 but is great to learn on and provides much longer battery life per charge. If/when you outgrow the 380 you can simply buy a type 540 and 18t pinion gear and upgrade your 'hopper.

I'm not sure what your asking but what I have is that replacement kit with no motor however due to a tree I have the tail motor because it broke off. I hope this the correct answer. wade J.

It is your choice on what stage engine you want depending on the height allowed on the rocket. I used C-Engines.

if you are running dual carbs you should not need a vacuum advance distributor just get a regular electronic ignition distributor with good centrifical adjustment advance Mallory makes an awesome distributor that is tunable and can be set up for almost anything

RobertoAs far as I know yes. I actually have a brand new one for sale. I used it for a week after Christmas and ended up switching to a brushless motor. The 540 is fun motor to have in an rc.

I'll tell you man, much more power. Complete tunability over ESC and motor. All though its much bigger than the vxl but totally worth it. 5mm shaft by the way. But yea. You want speed and brutal power this is the way to go. Ideally use 4s. Perfect combo

Vector has worked awesome for me. Newport isn't bad, but Vector turns this thing into a flamethrower.

Yes, Nova offers a variable speed motor upgrade. I have made the change and it works well.
