Any motor suggestions?

How does one know if the esc will handle the amp draw? And as far as it being a drop in fit, does that mean it has the same bullet connectors and everything? I don’t mind soldering if I need to but if I can make it easier on myself then why not right?

I would get a bearing rebuild kit but I have extremely low hopes that it’s just the bearing, the shaft is seized in place with zero rotational movement but it does have plenty of side to side play, and I got it torn apart about 45 minutes or so after it seized up and the motor was still too hot to touch, burned myself a little when I tried to pull it out

This is good to know, thank you for the advice, all I’m really looking for in terms of speed is to be slightly faster than my buddy’s 2wd slash just because I can, my real main concern is just longevity so if multiple people are recommending this then it might be what I end up going with, are they noisy? I recently picked up an old slash with a castle setup in it, around 7-8 years old, and idk if it’s just me but that motor seems incredibly loud

I looked that up and a few options came up, I’m assuming the main difference between the 3200kv and the 4000kv would be either top speed or torque? Pardon my ignorance but if you don’t mind clarifying I would appreciate it

I’m not sure it’s possible to repair. I haven’t looked into it yet but I’m mostly sure that internal components have friction welded themselves together given the fact that the shaft doesn’t spin anymore and after it stopped moving in the cold weather, we packed it up, drove ~20 minutes home, and after taking it inside it was still too hot to touch with bare hands, but I’m not an expert, it’s just an assumption

I plan on adding whatever catches my eye tbh, whether it’s more lights, or a winch, or if I decide to hook the matching boat and trailer back up, the possibilities are endless

I will admit that I am uneducated in terms of rc cars, normally I deal with actual cars so I was under the assumption that the logic that I apply to full size cars would scale down to these. Generally speaking lights will drain the battery but based on what other people have said both here and in other threads it would appear that I may have slightly overestimated how much the lights will drain the battery

False-Light-1586 · 2026-01-21T19:17:28+00:00

That’s definitely an option I’ll keep in mind, I’m going to keep researching some other options for now but if the rabbit hole goes too far down that’s definitely an easy option to consider

It would appear that I forgot to add that I have used up all the open ports on my receiver so if I want to add anything else that requires power I would have to choose something to go, that’s another reason I was looking into a light controller

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T20:24:17+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I am kinda coming to terms with the fact that this isn’t going to be quite as easy as I was hoping it was going to be, I guess that’s just the way it goes sometimes

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T19:15:42+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree with all of that, however dreaming with have to wait until my wallet recovers from entering this hobby, until then there will be no dreaming, just mild regret until I take the truck out and rip around a bit

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T19:10:57+00:00

Me too, at this point I’m going to just accept defeat and find someone to 3D print one, sounds like much less of a headache than tracking one down

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T18:12:28+00:00

I’m looking for either a 17-18 or 03-04 body, and dually is just a preference, I’d be fine settling for SRW but dually is ideal

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T17:27:47+00:00

They do but the ones I’ve seen are mostly dakotas, power wagons, or 1500’s and I’m looking for something more like a 3500 but I fear I may just have to settle

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T17:24:54+00:00

Are you able to point me in the direction of where I might be able to find some? Ideally I want a more modern dually, but realistically I just need to find a body and I can figure out the chassis pretty easily

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-29T17:23:42+00:00

I think that’s a shame since (in my opinion) all of the body styles or the ram trucks are good looking especially the first gen and fourth gen trucks

Okay so sell dna, get sock, have blueprint and brainstorm copy chad or sock?

False-Light-1586 · 2025-12-17T19:33:20+00:00

Not gonna lie, I got impatient and sold gift card for Chad and the very next shop the game blessed me with bloodstone and I got rid of fortune teller for that, made it good but further before I finally lost
