I know its a click bait title.
Well with a pair of Torments left over from kids was small, I used the morning to get the brushed one going.
Injora 12T, 27t pinion, because I had it, and stock spur.
So running around the yard, on 2S, enjoying the power, speed, doing oval practice making circles sorta.
Then over a hump and a little air.
Oops, well guess be ordering a set of $40 metal gears off amazon while I can still get them...
I have Traxxas Slash too, its really curious the Torment is more stable in turns.
The Slash is a roll over machine, it likes to flip all the time, not much faster with BL2S system in it.
My other Torment has VXL brushless system and even at 2x the speed of the slash same HCG type chassis as a slash.
It doesn't roll over as bad...

I with ECX would stay in the game, and sad that Duratrax left us with abandon ware too. I really like my Evader ST too, better than the traxxas cars I have.
 
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one that is trying to keep our Torments alive. I just redid mine with a new BL system and 32p gears. I've had mine for 12 years and it is still going. I'm sad that the ECX brand is being disconnected, but I have found a new RC manufacturer, Arrma.
I have 3 Arrma RC'S, the Granite 4x4 3s blx, the Gorgon 2wd Monster Truck and the Vorteks 2wd Truck. They a inexpensive and seen to be as durable as the ECX Torment.
I'm going to still run my Torment 2wd SCT, but now we have more options.
 
Just recently got a free 2wd Torment & decided to revive it but also upgrade the electronics too. Put a new Hobbywing 10BL120 ESC with a 5400kv motor in it. Keeping the stock gearing until I better understand what gearing will be better. The Steering Servo however is horrible & will be the next upgrade.

They are a great Bashing platform. Hard to break and fun to drive.
