@rwl944 Check description for specs

[aznskrachmaztah]

can the vendetta st handle brushless power in stock form?

[tuvix72]

@aznskrachmaztah Somewhat... mine took it for a little while, then the plastic drive shafts broke. If you're very careful, stay on pavement and stick to 2s batteries you may be able to get away with it for some time. She's fast even in stock form though!

[MrTechman98]

yeah what gear spur do you use?

You also need a wheelie bar

Looks like a great balance of power!

I looking to do the exact same thing to my own vendetta (the original). That motor shaft is hardened metal. How did you manage to make the shaft smaller? I was also thinking..... if the pinion was heated and press fitted to the shaft. Might that work? It seems like the pinion is only slightly smaller that the shaft of the motor. I'm going to use the 28-35-5100Kv ammo.... maybe ill get a bit extra kick :D.
