get two of those and youll have the speed from the lipo and the torque from the crawler motors. this is what i run and it does great. i just broke in a os vspec .21 with this and it had no problems turnin it

i used to run 55's....and imo with lipo they turn Too darn slow....im back onto the stocker's that honestly have been doin great on only lipo....these motor's never saw a gel cell like my old motor's did.....but i do have a pair or 27T mod motor's i got from an On-road buddy that are ready to drop in when needed....but i honesty dont forsee needing them.....the losi motor's are fine as long as your not stalling them like crazy...and with lipo thats nearly impossible to do...as the wheel is on roids and not much is gonna stop it.


Frank L....rip out all the stock wiring....and rewire it with decent deans wet noodle and solder everything......for a 4 cell....check out ebay and HK seller's....ive gottten 2200's as cheep as 25$
