traxxas vxl system

does anyone run these in their trucks? opinions

I don't and would not. In my opinion the Yeti is too heavy of rig for the vxl motor. People have heat issues with them in slashes and stick fans everywhere to compensate. The slash is lighter than a stock Yeti, and much lighter than a bomb proofed Yeti.

I'm sure it could be made to work just fine, but something more robust is my choice.

i seen someone saying they run a tenshock 411 with a hobbywing pro esc. I am not good with motor and esc setups

Dicky T is right..if you need a better cheap option try leopard motors they are pretty good.

Edit: and they work with the stock esc

Fan of leopard and the 4065 motor 2700KV flavor here! Not sensored, but a lot more power than stock for 45 dollars - including shipping. That said, I was getting temps approaching 170 degrees in my stock ESC, so I sprung for an 8 dollar Castle fan to make it just like the Sidewinder ESC. I have yet to test it out, but am confident that it will help.
