Brushed Motors: 12T 550 versus 54T 540 in Axial Wraith

This has been on our list for awhile.
Take the old 54 turn, 540 can motor out of the Wraith and replace it with something faster. However, that faster still needs to crawl!

Of course, the best choice would be to go with a waterproof, brushless, sensored setup...but those cost all of the $$$.

Instead, we are swapping that 54 turn motor out for a 12 turn motor. Should certainly make it go faster...but do we give up anything in crawling? That is the concern.

To help, the 12T motor is the longer 550 can instead of a 540. That brings it's own challenges as it causes interference with the Wraith chassis. You can either remove a small portion of the chassis (which is what I did), or raise the whole transmission assembly slightly.

I hope this is helpful for others who are considering making a similar change!
