blackfoot extreme with clod tires

[JOHN01374]

Guys,

I just picked up a used Blackfoot extreme. The original owner made a custom set of adapters and put clod wheels and tires on it. The truck is complete minus a motor and ESC. Question. What could power this thing without over heating a motor. (Brushless would kill it i'm sure and parts are hard to get so No BL systems). I'm thinking maybe one of either the E-savage or E-maxx motors (550). I haven't checked yet but i believe this chassis has the same problem with a very limited pinion gear range. I know other TL-0 chassis can only go as low as 19 tooth. Anyone have experience with one of these?

Thanks guys
John
