I installed the Traxxas low range (crawl) gears (# 9776R) in my High Trail because it was too fast and jumpy in stock form. After the installation of these gears, it was dog slow. So I then installed the Holmes Hobbies 66T motor. It is better, but still lacking a little speed for my liking. I know, I know. I'm never happy! 😜 Since the installation of these parts, there are a ton of new motor options on the market.

The most intriguing to me is the Traxxas # 6250 because it looks to have a super smooth and silent start-up and is a plug-and-play drop-in. Does anybody have this brushless setup installed along with the #9776R Low Range gears?

I could also just change my motor to the Injora 48T, 55T or Meus 44T. Do any of you have experience with these motors along with the Traxxas Low Range Crawler gears?

There are two-speed transmissions and I don't really want to add that complexity and weight to this truck.

You can even get the Injora 370 size motor and transmission, but I'm not really interested in doing that.

Any other options you would suggest?

I haven't tried it but how about the Holmes 280 Revolver? 2800kv, intended for 1/18 scale trucks. Though then you'd need an esc as well.

HH Revolver 280

I might be becoming a HH shill. I have no affiliation though. Just gotten better product, better answers and better customer service from them than other companies.

Not a direct drop in unfortunately so I'm not interested in it. Thanks for sharing though as that motor is news to me.
