    Yeah the Ram body is nice. The Traxxas trucks are solid. I bought this one for bashing but will be investing in another SCT for racing.

    Well I've come to you guys before for advice and you haven't steered me wrong so I'm back for more advice

    I have a traxxas slash 4x4.
    I burned up the stock motor a wile back. And have been running a castle momba 4pole

    Well stupid me I used servo tape to hold down the ESC and it came loose and I ran it over and it ripped the wires out of it

    Can I use the stock villium ESC with the momba 4pole motor ? Is my question

    Or do I need to get a new momba ESC ?

    Thanks guys

    Short answer is no, its not meant for a 4pole motor, you wont get its full potential. Look for another castle esc if your isnt repairable
