Traxxas TRA3785 12-Turn 550 Motor

Best brushed motor I have found

I have tried several different brands of 550 motors and this one is the best Traxxas is a bad company but you can’t beat these motors I have seen 100.00 brushed motors and would never pay that much just for a brushed motor but I do wonder how it compares to this Read full review

Buy more than 1 at a time

Good little motor for entry level bashing. Came in my kids 2wd slash. Went through 5 motors in 3-4 months. We bash together and as often as possible. Dropped a brush on 2 of them (no response when pulling throttle trigger, only goes when push started) and others developed too much play in shaft that pinion gear attaches to. This caused motor to lock up. Buy more that 1 at a time to save on shipping. These motors will break. Save up and go with Velineon 3500 brushless motor and vxl-3 ESC. No more breakdowns and hauling a**! Read full review

Great Motors!

Like any hobby there's allot of opinions and allot of people who aren't mechanically inclined or don't understand that a hobby grade RC needs maintenance. Those people are the ones who always blame the equipment and not themselves 🤷🏻‍♂️. It can't be helped.

I've been in this hobby for over 25 years. I used to race when I was younger and back then when people were still running brushed motors before brushless became the norm, you'd be lucky to get 20 races out of a motor before it would need a rebuild. But skip ahead to today and you now have larger 550 sized, fan cooled Brushed motors that will last for several hundred runs before needing to be replaced! The Titan in my Bandit and Slash have been absolutely amazing in terms of overall lifespan, torque and speed. They're just good fun to use!

What kills these motors is when people try to copy what Traxxas does in their videos. Running through water and Mudd without cleaning the motor and Lubricating the bushings with a quality bushing lube like Turbine Lubricating Oil.

Water will wash away the lubricant on the bushings causing the motor to have allot more internal friction, same with Mudd only now add in the sandpaper affect that dirt has.

So with basic maintenance the Titan will last forever just about. Unfortunately the Titan I got was defective from shipping. One of the wire terminals broke off during shipping, so I had to send it back. Read full review

Traxxis Motor

A solid time tested motor for remote control toys. The one design fault is that it has a tendency to get really hot when used continuously. Could use a good heat sink!

It's original, i got it to replace my other stock brushed motor because the positive wire housing was splitting exposing the steel wire & since I really don't have a soldering setup so I can't solder correctly, but eventually I'll be converting all 3 traxxas rc's I have to the new BL-2S brushless power system (1. 2020 4tech 3.0 C8 corvette snap-on limited edition & 2. 2 traxxas slash 2wd trucks) Read full review

Great brushed motor for old school set ups

This is a great replacement for stock 540 motors. Definitely more torque and power. Runs cool with appropriate gearing. Matched this with an XL-5 esc and it worked out perfectly.

Titan 550 Motors

Wanted to get a few extra motors for my son and I's Stampede's and Slash trucks. Seems to be in great condition and will install when old motors start to loose their kick.

great product

Great product worked perfit, will use you again

Awesome motor.

This motor is a great upgrade for any 550 sized brushed setups. It has plenty of torque and great response. I highly recommend it and will be using it on all my future brushed builds.

Works great!

Not a bad price for a replacement motor. Especially for how much use you can get out of them.
