Rustler VXL motor upgrade

I have run the Rustler a few times since the motor uprade and the wheelie bar does get a good workout.....if I go WOT from a stop it wheelies, if I get a slower rolling start its not to bad, I have heard that you can use a Revo spur, I think I will try that, I will just have to get some mod1 pinions. I do like the 32 pitch gears though, I have noticed the Feigao 9L has been running cooler thean the stock VXL motor

There is no way that the 9l could run cooler than the stock vxl motor, that motor is good to run in an emaxx on 4s, and is crazy.

Oh wait, I justy quoted someone else, I have no expereince with the 9l, so my ability to make comparisons does not exist.

Glad that the 9l is working out for you, I always used 32p in my pedes and rustlers, worked out fine for me. Thr revo spurs do fit, but are a bit small. The mgt spurs fit too, but require a smaller bearing and somw drilling of the peg hole. And the 46 is the biggest mod1 spur that will fit before it hits the tranny outdrive.

Keep the vxl motor and use the MM esc with some good batteries. The vxl motor is very underated by people that have no clue of its limits.

Doesn't take much power to get those little trucks fast.

..and last time I checked, this thread was about a Rustler. Hence the motor/esc combo recommendation.

The 9l will most likely not need the fan to run cool. The vxl motor will make power, but will most likely get hot.

Thank you very much for telling me the tread was about a Rustler. I had no idea.
Because the Rustler is a little truck it doesn't take much power to go fast.
