You going to need GPM... Lots of it. A FET upgrade or even a external turbo [Spider V3, V2.2, Bug V1 etc...] but before going in that, know how to solder it, or get someone else to.

And yes, "el threado de uselesso withouto el pickos"

you've got 3 days get get some pics up and more in depth ideas before this thread is closed, if everybody made a thread everytime they had a plan for an imaginary Xmod, this place would be much, much harder to to find good info on than it already is.

You shouldn't have started the thread until you had the parts....

For your motor question, try this tutorial- it's for new members:

Motor Question

And for project ideas, here is a great tutorial:

Brushless is bad *** BLT made a very very nice brushless, its a lot of work to get it to fit on a Gen 1. DMG 2006 also did a brushless. Good luck on this one, micro-t elecs and a brushless motor should be great.

i think your plastics will break and the gears will go to hell if you go brushless with an xmod (unless you get stronger gears like stuff made of derlin)
