Default E-Converted T-maxx, opinions needed....

I've got a electric converted T-maxx. I received this in a trade for cheap.
I know just buy or build an e-maxx. (2-speed automatic is cool)

I want to put a brushed motor in it and run it on 7.2 volts.

What motor and esc can I use and not damage them??
I have some Titans..... but??? idk...
What do you guys think?

This will be for my 2 year old. He loves to play with it and pretend his working on it. Its his Big Truck like his daddy's and his brothers. I just cant bring my self to sell it
He has a stampede to learn on to, when he's ready :
Any suggestions would be cool,
Thanks!!

Default e- tmaxx

Buy a kershaw designs 650 they are more durable then the titans, or try a titan 775, you might have to mod your motor mount.

i mean it is a good idea using the stock aluminum chassis but i would have just bought the normal emaxx chassis because it has a longer wheel base and it is a lot lighter eventually i would go brushless get a feigo brushless motor and a mamba max pro esc then you are set

Thanks for the info guys, still not sure what I'm going to do with it. I might just let my 2yr old play with it

I agree with you slashitup on the e-maxx thing. Thats the normal thing to do.
I traded a checkpoint 13x2 for the truck plus I add somethings I had laying around. I still think the 2 speed automatic would be cool but this has the single speed and FOC installed.
