Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 5, 2020 So I want to buy a TXT-2 monster truck. I was wondering what are some upgrades for this truck that are suggested? I was thinking at least new shocks and wondering on a ESC and motors. The 2 battery setup would probably be too pricey for me. I was looking at this link on youtube where they went all out. Is there a chassis brace for this I know the Super Clod Buster has one that was recommended that I got for mine. I dont want it so fast that it's doing wheelies all the time. Could I maybe do an Nimh cell battery with this ESC: https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/quicrun-880?variant=18212301930611 Check out the upgrades on the video: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 5, 2020 I have this ESC in my Super Clod Buster: https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/quicrun-880?variant=18212301930611 And 2 of these 23T motors: https://www.tamiyausa.com/search/?q=sport+tuned+motor I would like it to be a little faster than my Super Clod Buster. Any ideas on motors for me or a different ESC. I am open to all suggestions! Thanks guys for all your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 5, 2020 I would like to run the aforementioned ESC here: https://www.hobbywingdirect.com/products/quicrun-880?variant=18212301930611 If you look at the specs I believe it says with a 6 cell NiMH you can use 2 12T motors. I wouldn't want to heat up the esc too much so I want to go with 2 15T motors or so. Any recommendations for 2 motors? Would this work? Thanks for any help!

Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 5, 2020 Anyone? If I dont find a couple motors to use with that Hobbywing 880 I will probably buy a different monster truck. Please help with the motors! Also is there a wheelie bar for this TXT 2? I dont really want it doing wheelies honestly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taffer 948 Posted July 5, 2020 You could just use one powerful motor and cover up the other motor slot with a piece of lexan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 5, 2020 I would rather use both motors. Do you know of a couple I could use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've run twin 15T HPI Firebolt brushed motors in my TXT before. They're sealed can motors and aren't outrageously powerful but are pretty cheap. I also run them in my Clods since they're neutral timed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 6, 2020 Couldn't find the HPI motor. Would 2 of these motors work? https://www.amainhobbies.com/dynamite-540-brushed-motor-15t-dyn1172/p243567?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9IX4BRCcARIsAOD2OB1vpJ8Q8lGiRfB09iCd3envrfedkAqC1eybu2aggDtkbZpmu3hn3HcaAjS5EALw_wcB How much faster would these be than the Tamiya 23T sport tuned motor?

Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 6, 2020 I found the HPI motor at a.s.a.p. hobbies. Is the dynamite motor as good as the HPI or better? I like that the dynamite motor is found at amain hobbies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saito2 6686 Posted July 6, 2020 Sorry, the only experience I have with the Dynamite motor is I got one in a used RC10 from Ebay once and it was burnt up. The Tower Hobbies reviews range from "its a good little motor" to "motor fried after only about 6 runs". Such are internet reviews. I'm sure others have had problems with the HPI Firebolt too...nothing seems perfect nowadays, but I've personally purchased about 5 of them without issue. Your mileage may vary. They are available on Ebay from $15-$20. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
geniusanthony 361 Posted July 6, 2020 @Clodbusterfan And Two stock silver cans on 3s. Quick enough and little cost. Runs on a 3s 5000mah lipo. Haven't broke anything yet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clodbusterfan 21 Posted July 12, 2020 Is there a wheelie bar for this truck? And will 2 of these be too hot for the TXT-2's diff? https://www.amainhobbies.com/reedy-radon-2-3slot-brushed-motor-15t-asc27425/p947543 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
