    Any brushed motor is waterproof.
    My savage is a flux. A flux has an electronic speed controller. An electronic speed controller has a capacitor. Therefore my savage has a flux capacitor!

    Were you not happy with the stock Titan? I only ask because if you are really wanting to upgrade, might as well save up a few extra bucks and just get a brushless esc and motor. Decent 1/10 brushless stuff can be had for pretty cheap these days.

    Its not that its just I bought this stampede from a buddy for 65 bucks he said the motor was going to go out drove it for 5 mins and burnt motor up and it came with 3 more of the same motor that were all bad to so obviously there junk motors and I kinda want one I can rebuild and could I just put a brushless motor on the stock ESC?

    Stock Traxxas 12T? I don't think they are really junk - you gotta have it geared right, and many other factors to get long life out of a motor. True though, they can't be re-built. You would have to buy an esc AND motor to go brushless, what kind and size of batteries are you using?

    I'm using a 7.2 volt 3000mah battery it has more power than the 8.4 volt it came with I can pop wheelies with 7.2 and dont have as much power with the 8.4

    i would sell the brushed esc to help pay for a brushless setup if you go to the right sites you can go brushless for about $170 i have a 2wd stampede and i run a hobbywing sc-8 esc can be bought on amazon for about $65 about $20-25 for a neewer 3900kv motoralso from amazon and my lipos are zippy 2s 20c 5000mah about $20-25 from hobbyking.com and i have a thunder ac6 charger that charges any battery type about $50 from hobbypartz.com

    The above setup runs about 40-45 mph on 16/56 32 pitch gearing and still has enough torque to wheelie from half throttle given enough traction
    watch out for that oops too late time to order parts
