    It's not required though, right? I can just leave it programmed as-is? I don't need anything real crazy. I have yet to really dislike anything about the stock ESC.

    I will probably go ahead and get the Castle Link though. No reason not to.

    Which motor would you recommend from them? Again, I have yet to really dislike anything about the stock motor. I simply haven't driven it enough to form an opinion yet.

    Well, looks like my vxl system is screwed up :(

    I dont have a clue as to what happened to it, it ran perfect when I took it out my slash, it never cogged, always was cool to the touch. It cogs bad in my stampede, has no power and tops out at id guess 7mph :rolleyes:

    Guess I need a new motor system, anyone wanna recommend a decent setup for 2s? id like to be able to run mid to upper 30s.

    Either the crawlmaster pro or the torque master. Either are good. I got both. Just remember if you want speed go for a 25t and if you want slow unstoppable crawling go for the 55t.

    Nice! Thanks for the input.

    Any idea how big of a pain it is to remove the tranny on these things? That is the only thing I haven't waterproofed yet and I'm thinking about tackling it...

    definitely need a 4 pole system for the 4x4 monster trucks. especially with those big wheels you got on there. might wanna get like a caslt e4 pole system or even might wanna try out a toro 4x4 sc 4 pole system.

    i have a toro 4600kv 4x4 sc 4pole motor paired with a brushless hobbies 120a esc and it absolutely rips on 2s!

    It's rumored there will be a overhaul on AE buggy line before long. Not sure why, at least nitro as Mayfield lapped everyone at least TWICE (Tebow) was second place two down at the AMS 3.0.

    I wouldn't doubt it AE 1/8th Nitro line is getting old...

    Mayfield could drive a Nitro powered brick and still win a race
