Big Rock big rock with bigger motor

[dasrott]

would it be worthwhile performance wise and feasible to put lets say a notorious motor in the big rock running 6 's batteries? would you see a increase in performance and would the wires etc wire up>

6s tears things up nonestop but 4s is where it's at.yes every added cell makes a noticeable difference

Here’s a 6s big rock

Bigger more capable motor and esc, yes. 6s power......would be a waste. The drivetrain is not meant to take 6s. I would recommend a solid 4s upgrade. Possibly running a 6s system but only at 4s power. Might need the metal spur and a hardened pinion to help with durability. If you want to go 6s just go to the 6s line like a Kraton, outcast, or typhon.

I run 6s systems in big rock an senton and rebuilding 5 or 6th REAR diff now..and I run 4s an its fast enough..

The problem you run into is the weight. Big motor & big batteries create too much weight for the system or the chassis to handle. If you are looking for more speed and durability just go to the 6s line. They are a blast to drive.

This . Not sure why more folks can’t figure this out. 6s motor puts too much stress on motor plate, which leads to mesh issues, which leads to slipper issues, etc. Then there’s the whole plastic diff thing...and 6s weight in a plastic 3s chassis.

4s is the sweet spot. And if done right, it’ll be just as fast as a 6s car without all the weight-related collateral damage.

Converted my Typhon 3s v3 to a 4s system and I prefer it over my M2C EXB Kraton.

Good luck!!! Keep on rippin’!!!
