I did weight the motors, and the dewalt is 3oz less than the twin titans. However 8000mah 4s battery is 5oz heavier than 2 2s 5000 batteries. So I am a total of 3oz over stock. But for a dewalt 12v on 8000mah. I am happy.

It was glitchy running 4s through the bec side of the evx2 with the non bec side shorted. evx was hot. So I ran a castle bec seperate and now its super smooth and esc is no longer hot.

Mounted the motor on the passenger side to counter the battery and set lower.

Man the 12vlt dewalt is a lot faster than the titans. I am guessing several mph faster. the tires will actually balloon some. And the torque is instant. very easy to wheelie even while rolling. I know its not a brushless, but its pretty damn good for 40bucks and the stock evx. Heck of a cheap upgrade in my op.

Still have to find larger straps for the battery. Zip ties are temporary. Caslte bec needs fastened down yet.
I have run as high as a 25/68 on my DeWalt setups for general back yard bashing, short grass, and pavement without heat issues on 4s.
