Default Brushless advice

Hey guys,

I recently acquired a Traxxas Son Uva Digger (Stampede 2wd).

After selling my MERV obviously the speed is not quite up to standard ( though not the reason I bought the truck, obviously).

I want to throw a brushless system in the that isn't going to be ridiculously/tyre shredding fast, but had the torque and speed to keep the truck drivable but with an even bigger smile on my face.

Keeping in mind the Monster Jam trucks don't have any foam in the tyres, which system would people suggest? I am probably leaning toward a 2s lipo too.

Nothing overly expensive

Does anyone have any experience with this system?

Would it be suitable to the Stampede?

Yes that would work fine. Look into the hobbywing ezrun systems too though.

I have never had a 'pede so probably not very qualified here...but my gut says to look into Castle's Sidewinder SCT 3800kv system. The Sidewinder 4600kv (4-pole) may be another option though that motor would not be as powerful...I wonder if the monster truck tires would be too much for this motor.

The castle 3800kv system is a great choice and geared correctly will be plenty of wheely popping power on 2s. Also the traxxas velinion system is great as well and can be had for great prices on eBay.
