Default Motor Help Needed

Today I had my Groud Pounder out and decided to do some mud bogging. Long story short.. I burnt up the stock motor.

What would be a good cheap replacement? I am using an Arrma esc and am running the truck on Nihm packs. A motor that is somewhat sage near mud or water would be nice. Also a little more speed will be nice too.

Idk for sure but the motor is probably a 27 turn, dropping down to a 19-21 turn should increase performance without totally killing run time. A 550 sized motor is another option. Just heck the ratings for the esc to make sure it can handle the motor hou choose. No motor exactly likes mud and water though. You should really wash the motor out a bit after mud running, then dry it with some compressed air and put a couple drops of oil on the bearings/bushings.

An emaxx motor would be a good choice also. I had one in a groundpounder. Worked good.

I honestly can't remember what gearing I ran in it . I think it was a 17 tooth.
