Donald asks…
do you get your money’s worth on the electric Traxxas Rustler VXL RC car.?
i just was wondering if i should buy this RC car or not and if it is worth 340 dollars.

Well, I have the Bandit VXL and I have the VXL motor in my Slash 4×4. This motor is ESC/Motor combo is bullet proof. I run these things through hell and back with no problems. Trust me, I run my cars through water all day long and it works great. I’ve never used the Rustler, but I’m sure its great. I found some on eBay for about $320 if that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Joseph asks…
will any motor work in a electric rc car?
i want to buy this motor for my cheap 1/16 electric rc car to make it faster.
this is the motor.
Traxxas 7075 Titan 380 Motor 18T Brushless Tra 1/16
will it work on any 1/16 electric car?
thanks!
RC Staff Member Answers:
Yes, you could use that motor. But you said you have a cheap 1/16th, meaning low quality??? If you get that motor for a low quality RC then chances are it will tear up the tranny gears. The Traxxas vehicle has stronger gears than the walmart and radio shack RC cars. So those gears can handle that kind of motor. You can get the traxxas motor to fit and work but I wouldn’t expect your RC to last very long. Plus, the motor could burn up your ESC (electronic speed controller). You will notice a huge increase in performance but not for long because I would bet my left arm it will tear up your gearing before the battery dies. Hope this helps.

If its to fast it will just destroy itself, that’s why I like the old style monster trucks, can tend to bounce over stuff, not the truggy types.
To fast can be good if you have a solid enough suspension system, some of the larger scale vehicles may be able to take really awesome damage. But definitely need nitrous and .21 or better.
