Got my rio ep, and want to go faster

the slash 2wd esc is rated for 8.4volts.. not 3s

I'm pretty sure the xl-5 esc is rated for 9.6 volts.

It definitely works on 3S been there and no fry

Has any one tried on of these motors Graupner Speed 600 they come in different versions all depends on the voltage you are using check this out.

I believe the are 550 can motors and you can use stock cooling coil.

I use this one on 2s. It works pretty well.

Some nice prop tips guys, thanks. Just bought the Grim Racer 36 x 55 metal prop for my Rio. Should be pretty good with my setup. I have a xl-5 and pro boat apache motor on it running 7 cells and it runs pretty hot after 10 minutes but no problems after 20 or so runs in it. Anyway, here is a vid of it running. Will try and post another vid when I get the new prop.
