Motor is starting to cog on my BRCC v3. Figured I’d start the research process to upgrade. I have the stock tooth spur gear and the 15T pinion with granite tires. I run the car with 3S on hard dirt and grass and love to bash. This thing almost never sees pavement. I love to hit jumps and try and backflip the truck with my kids and their granites.
So I’m not looking to go any faster, but I would love to have the engine run cooler. I want to go try and at least go the same top speed if I can, and I know that means changing the the pinion. I know a torquey motor will help the situation overall, maybe as a bonus I’ll be able to have better rotation in the air.
Based on the research in the posts, I was looking at a Surpass Hobby 3670 or 3665 but wasn’t sure of the kV I would need. Also not sure if I should bite the bullet and pull the trigger on a castle 1415 motor. I don’t mind spending the extra money if this thing will be bulletproof.
I don’t plan on changing the stock ESC unless it fries, and I don’t plan on running anything more than 3S.
Any suggestions on which motor I should get?
