I LOVE this setup.

How long have you been driving it and how is it holding up? Stock VXL drivetrain?

I have an older Rustler that is going to be updated soon.

VXL transmission and cvd's will be part of the upgrade process.

I was thinking about maybe the Medusa 36-50-2200kv Motor powered by a Mamba Max on 4S 3200mah Flightpower Lipo. Then use Mod 1 gearing. Then maybe gear to the moon if I wanted. LOL

I converted an xl-5 to a vxl. it was pretty expensive to get the ugpraded servo, upgraded links, etc. But it was fun!

Not good on the wallet though...

Don't forget bearings! RPM links are great, they don't bend. I'd go with TBS bearings. Expensive, but very nice.

Why not just go for the 60mm if you are going for a 2200kv 4s setup?

I am using a 36-60-2000kv in my E Revo. It's one heck of a motor.

You have a good point there.

I have a 36-60-1500kv on hand. Hmmm.......can this be geared for 4S operation on the Mod 1 gears?

Time to consult the speed calculator.
