That was overpriced

Sure thing! If you try this upgrade, be sure to report back!

Some guys use the traxxas evl-2 in think for the emaxx with dual motor set up, but that might be for just dual brushed motors not sure if that could do dual brushless

Stevo, I have some bad news for you - my Ground Pounder bit the dust. The Castle brushless motor was just too much for the drivetrain. Mine blew a bearing, which led the gears and (upgraded steel) driveshafts to chew themselves up, and I decided to pull the electronics for a new project (which you'll see soon!!!). Check your GP often for slop between the driveshafts and the gearboxes, especially if you'll be racing with it.

The Tech Buyer's Guru ya the guys in the group have told me I can put the smt10 trans in it, so I might end up doing that, but right now, I’ve still never ran the truck since I built it, but Oct 7th will be my first race day

The CPE chassis could probably handle even more speed, but I don't want to risk flipping it and messing the body up!

I also upgraded the shocks to oil dampen shocks I two 3800 kv motors from castle where two sidewinder 4 escs

Glad you found this tutorial helpful. The Clawback (amzn.to/2DhsYpc) looks like a ton of fun, and it would be even better with brushless power! With that said, I can guarantee you there's no way to do that with one ESC. But honestly, the system I show in this video works perfectly. Two ESCs wired with a Y-harness into one channel on the receiver is no problem. You calibrate the ESCs independently, not through the receiver.

Congrats on picking up that Black Edition! It looks awesome, and gives people another reason to own the one and only Clod Buster! I actually ran dual Kyosho 24T brushed motors in the Clod before going brushless. You can see a running video of that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qN2nnsJyndvZlWw.html. Also ran dual 15T brushed for a while, and it was nearly as fast as the dual 3300Kv brushless I eventually went with. If you don't change the chassis, though, handling is going to be a weak point, so I'd recommend going no hotter than a couple of 19T motors, which will give you a nice speed boost while still being within reason for the stock chassis. Team Associated has some new brushed motors that look great for the price - here's the 19T model: amzn.to/3bldgbp. Note that you should avoid popular 550-can motors. They won't fit.

Those 19T motors look great. Any modification on the clod necessary? Thanks.

@@TheTechBuyersGuru Would you be able to confirm those Team Associated 19T motors will work on the Clod, and is it easy to reverse one of them?

I haven't tested them, but I've run many other brushed motors, from 15T to 24T, in the Clod, and they all work great. 15T translated to 15mph, 24T was 11mph, so 19T should be right in the middle. And you don't need to reverse them, you just can't modify the timing.

Go for it! One thing you might try is getting a Hobbywing combo. Those ESCs I used are actually Hobbywing rebrands, so you can just get this combo with a 3300kV motor: www.amainhobbies.com/hobbywing-ezrun-max10-sensorless-brushless-esc-3652sl-motor-combo-3300kv-hwa38010203/p713296

If both light up, they're both getting power, but not the receiver signal. Check your wiring again. I'm assuming that if you switch which ESC is plugged into which side of the y-harness, the other ESC will start working. Try that, and it will show that the y-harness is the issue, otherwise one ESC may not be working. To test that, just take the y-harness out of the loop and connect both ESCs directly to the receiver one at a time to test if they work.

You will also have to remove one of the red bec wires

It's what came with the Futaba 3PV, the R304SB: amzn.to/2YijOnU

You absolutely need two ESCs if you are using brushless. No way to do it otherwise. If you are using brushed, you can run one ESC.

The Clod Buster gearbox is excellent, one of the best features of the truck. It can handle plenty of power.

@@TheTechBuyersGuru nice..are you still using a plastic gear from the stock are you upgrade it with a metal gear stuff..lil bit confuse in here am i gonna take it the clod or txt 2

Using plastic gears, but upgraded the pinion to Robinson Racing steel. The gears in the Clod gearbox are super-wide, very durable. You really don't need to upgrade them to metal.

@@TheTechBuyersGuru mmmm...dunno men...lil bit doubt about the gear..the clod are using the same gearbox with the grasshopper and it precisly the same with the pumpkin..many time my pumpkin having a slip gear problems..and after ive chance my motor to a brushless system the gear couldnt hold on and now torn apart..i think ill go with the txt2..more convy for me to do so..tx for the sharing btw, am still in love with the killer looks of tamiya..cheers

Just the standard chrome Tamiya Clod wheels: amzn.to/2Z8SnMm

Tamiya Mica Red, TS-39: amzn.to/2Ywrh2w

I know, right! That thing probably cost me $20 back in 1991, and what a great investment it was, despite seeming like a lot at the time!

Not sure you can get much cheaper at this point, but comparable quality would be a couple of these Hobbywing combos: www.amainhobbies.com/hobbywing-ezrun-max10-sensorless-brushless-esc-3652sl-motor-combo-3300kv-hwa38010203/p713296

@@TheTechBuyersGuru Thanks, would something like this work? And if so would any type of remote and receiver work with it? www.ebay.com/itm/GoolRC-Upgrade-Waterproof-3650-4300KV-Brushless-Motor-with-60A-ESC-Combo-Set-USA/254628306267?hash=item3b49079d5b:g:TFkAAOSwYvde6tUZ

It's a pretty high kV for a Clod, that's getting close to what's used in racing, so you'd need a very dialed in custom chassis or you'll be flipping a lot. You might also have some low torque off the line, because those aren't actually racing motors. It looks like there's a 3500kV combo, that would probably be better. Either way, the you can use any remote as long as you have the splitters listed in the video description.
