Stock motors with all wiring replaced and a good six cell nimh pack is working good for me so far. I know it's not a bl...but my drivetrain lasts alot longer and it's still fun.
i get nice runtimes on mine with foam tires ( i hear this affects batt life cuz of motor strain)
and i have a 3 cell 1320 li-po
I have that motor too. I want to know how you mounted it to the motor plate. did you use an adapter plate ( and if so which one and from where ?) or did you have to mod the exisitng motor plate?
