That comes with a 775 type motor that has plenty of oomph for the FW class.
Thanks for the reply!

I'm using a 22.2v 6s LiPo with 2 BotBitz 85a Esc's. The motors are Rs-550s motors which I checked can handle 24v but maybe I'm just pushing them too hard? The pin idea is a good one! I'll try that because we did have a wheel come loose. I'm ok with a little complexity with gearboxes but I'm still rather new to all this lol. Would an all metal gearbox be tough enough to mount straight too then? Cus at the minute the wheels are screwed straight onto the original cordless drill gearbox.

Thanks again!
