I know the Super Rooster can handle lower turn motors on 6 cells... But it's not rated for it

I'm still running my original axle cases and tubes...

I think having the TTR CVD's in there, is what made them survive...
Even landing off kilter, on one wheel, all I break is the traxxas rod ends

And I run it in the winter... Sometimes at -40.

Unless you buy adjustable motor mounts, you're limited to 13 tooth pinions.

Which should be okay for those motors.
32 pitch pinions.

Nice find!

As for the ESC... Just start looking for thing that can handle the motors you have

The Super Rooster should be able to handle them... You may need a cooling fan for it, I can't say... It's rated for 2x15 turns, but you can usually squeeze a little more out of things with no issues...

There's the M-Troniks Super Truck if you can find one at an affordable price...

Basically, just need to find one that says it's capable of two 14 turn motors

I think they're 14 turn motors...

And it's 32 pitch gears. until you get the adjustable motor mounts, you have to run 13 tooth pinions.

LHS, tower hobbies, stormer hobbies, horizon hobby... or one of the other online retailers should have 'em... But your LHS can order 'em too.

I got my evx coming in the mail, bought it for $30 from another RCtech member with motors. Will the titans fit? I would love to stick those in there. But I don't know if they will fit. I'm being real. And I got the pinion gears coming from my LHS.

They'll fit... But you WILL have to modify things.
