Mine is the TEU 106BK I’m not sure if it’s 3S capable 

The input specs state 6.6V to 7.2V, so I'd say no to 3S

I found this same manual after I posted above.. I find this amusing since 7.4v is the nominal charge on a 2s but a “full” one is between 8.2-8.4v

I think they conveniently leave out recommendations beyond their LF 6.6V and standard 7.2V nicd/nimh batteries.

Only one way to find out!

So, for anti rotation brackets they seem like a simple enough part. 
Do people usually prefer cheap eBay/ Amazon Chinese ones , Home made ? 3D printed ? UK Monsters of CPE? Or is a bracket a bracket a bracket ? 
I see CPE has a combo where they bundle brackets , bearing set and a chassis brace in one kit.

I have used my new build clodbuster a lot last year and never broke the stock anti rotation plastic part. if you want to upgrade go for metal.

Anybody have any experience with Traxxas Titan 12t 550 in a clod ? I believe they are zero timing. And I know they are pretty torquey and quick. 

For that matter, 550 motors in general. I tried to fit on in a G601 once but I had to seriously limit the EPA on the steering to make the front wheels not hit the motor

Don't think there is enough clearance on stock suspension. 

Twin brushless is probably cheaper, less maintenance and easy to adjust with a program card.
