maybe, just maybe, you might be able to use a castle 1717 motor and 6s lipo....if you geared for 35mph or less to start out with.

it is only 2wd and the duratrax firehammers are built light compared to most 1/5 trucks. once you removed the enigne and gas tank, it should be down to maybe 17-18lbs. there was a point when my savage weighed 18 lbs and my stock 2200kv motor never went higher than 150f when geared for 40mph.

so long story short: try a 1717 and 6s on a MMM esc geared for around 35mph to start with.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
