If it is the Castle 1512-2650Kv motor, then yes. You need to change the entire driveline. Is that the motor you have?

 

[Hec.r]

Yes 1512 2650kv castle so what drive line should I used?

You will need everything from the BLX version of the truck:

Spur Gear - https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...mbly-diff-57t-ar102668?variant=12603224916022

Two Differential - https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...tial-front-rear-37t-granite-big-rock-ar102668

Input Gears - https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...rings-granite-ar102668?variant=12603224162358

Motor Mount - https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...nite-big-rock-ar102668?variant=12603217379382

Optional but recommended: https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...big-rock-crew-ar102668?variant=12603220099126

Optional if running 14mm hexes: https://jennysrc.com/collections/ar...anite-bigrock-ar102668?variant=12603217051702

You might want to consider the Hot Racing adjustable motor mount plate as well. It will let you set mesh better and allow a wide variety of pinion sizes.

Are you going to run 3s or 4s? What ESC do you have?

What are you looking to do with the truck? What kind of top speed do you want?

I would like to use the best of it and also what pinion should I use

It all depends on if you run 3s or 4s. 3s would need a bigger pinion - like 24t or so. 4s would use a smaller pinion - like 18t. But no matter what you do, if you don't upgrade to the BLX parts you will strip the spur almost immediately. Who suggested the 1/8 scale Castle buggy motor? It's a lot to run on a stock rig.

I bought it from a friend that's moving out brand new for a very good price

Fair enough. I would suggest a 3s battery and a 24t pinion but you would need the HR motor plate. You could possible run the stock BLX plate and a 26t pinion which I believe it is pre-drilled for. Top speed would be around 60 mph. If you ran 4s and ran a 20t pinion you would be looking at 61 mph. I don't like the Mega/3S BLX Senton at 60 mph. It will kite on you and wreck. That is why I suggested 24t 3s and 18t 4s.
