Dual motor 4wd

[syscon]

Hi all? New here and new to RC cars. I've got my hands on a vintage 1/8 crawler that currently has dual brushed motors running off a single esc. Is it possible to switch to brushless with either a single dual (of such a beast exists) or twin esc"s?
I am using Flysky GT5...

You'll need dual ESC's to run 2 brushless motors.

don't do it those gearboxes won't hold up
those exceed axles aren't that strong and last I checked 10 years ago the gears and axles shafts were really hard to come by

oops I meant hsp axles lol sorry it's been a while

First post? Welcome to the site!

Yes, there are twin motor brushed and brushless ESCs. But like ferp said, brushless would destroy that truck unless you treat it delicately.

someone used to sell metal gears for those axles but I had to pre order them and wait a year till they got enuff ordered to make money on them and the damb center part were the shafts go in too striped out first run

I had one of those. Sorry but they are not worth to upgrade, much less to brushless...Those tires are crap, for instance

Thanks all, I'll just install the 4ws and be done with it. Save my money for something better down the track..

wheels and tires are never a bad investment

get some 2.2 tires with as close to 6" as you can get the j-conrips riptures " fake j-concepts ruptures"in 2.2 are decent tires and are vary and cheap and 2.2 wheels are also cheap



just don't over power it and be nice to it and it should hold up just fine
