Recommendations for brushed motor for boost

Bought a 17T brushed Radon motor for my Boost and it lasted 20 minutes and quit. What's the best bang for the buck brushed motor to replace the original 20T dynamite? Just wanted to get a little more speed without investing in brushless. Any reliable fast 17T brushed motors out there?

Get a titan 550 12t motor. It's a little longer of a can, so it has more wire in the windings, so a 12t is like a 17t 540, but with a little more torque. I have a titan 24t in a 9lb 4x4 that is over a year old and still running on 3s, and I beat it hard. Good motors, especially for the price. The motor shaft will hit the spur gear cover, you can drill a hole in the cover, or cut the motor shaft down.

OK thanks for the reply. The specs on the ESC state 15T or higher, so I'll have to research it a bit more.

It'll work. That's 15t in 540. It can handle the 12t 550, but not a 12t 540. Longer can (550) means longer wires per t (turn), which means lower amps. That's why a 12t 550 is like a 17t 540. Same length wire in the coil.

Oh interesting. So the 12T 550 will work with the stock ESC. Thanks again for the info Steve.

I ran a titan until I reverse polled the power wires on the battery on accident. Other wise it ran great all the time I got the esc over 160°f, over-geared and it kept on chugging before I blew out the mosfets being dumb with the battery.

Wit respect to @Steve g I'll recommend against the Titan motor. The Boost is a little car with a short wheelbase and narrow track and it already has a serious rear weight bias (more so than other brands of cars with RM mounting like the Traxxas Bandit or older Associated buggies). The 550 motors are longer and thus heavier and only make the problem worse and I don't feel that their performance is worth the negative effect on handling. I installed the Dynamite 15T 550 motor on my AMP/Circuit and didn't like it for the above reasons.

I'd recommend you stick with 540-sized motors such as the Dynamite 15T 540.

Yes, that's one thing I wasn't thinking of. I do have a 550 in my son's brushed circuit, which has a little larger rear tires than the stock ones, and I use 5000mah 7 cell nihm packs in it, which adds more weight in front of the rear wheels verses Lipo, so the extra weight of the motor has no noticeable effect.
