    Rebuild Ideas

    I have a 1994 Trx Stampede that has been sitting for several years. In 98-99 I upgraded to a Novak Reactor ESC and a Midnight 2Pro motor running a 7cell NiCd 1500mAh. Yesterday I got a new Futaba transmitter to get it up and running again. Today, ran truck for first time in 12years on a 6cell 3000mAh NiMH. As I reached the end of the charge I noticed the motor was smoking and could smell burning. I let it sit a few hours and charged the battery, I then let my son run it. About 5 mins in the motor began making a loud grinding noise. Im sure at this point the motor is done and Im looking to put a Titan 12T motor in its place. My question I guess is with the ESC, 3000mAh batt. and a 12T motor, should I change out the spur and pinion for A: better performance and B: Not burn up motors. Now she has stock parts, 87T 48p spur and 18T pinion. Right now I am on budget. Down the road, and after SCX-10 build, I do plan on brushless upgrade, Lipo and 2.4ghz

    Well, scratch that. While taking truck down, noticed that one drive shaft was rotating on an oval and hitting the lower arm. Ran great today.

    You can find all kinds of parts for them still , I have the stampede VXL brushless set up , the part should be all the same , E-Bay is a very good place to find part for it
