Is there any noticable increase in speed after upgrading the stock motors with the MAXX 400 motors or the ProMax 480 motors?
The maximum speed of my tank is comparable to a slow walking pace and i would like to make it reach at least 10mph/16kmh.
Yes any motor upgrade will make a big difference. The stock HL motors are only 10,500 rpm any motor you get will be around the 15,000 to 18,000 rpm so looking at 50-80% increase. But you the faster the motor the quicker the battery will drain and shorter run time.

Hi Saxondog,
I plan on keeping the stock pinion gears since they are still in good condition.

Hi Tankbear, thanks for the specs. Everybody has to love them haha.

I got a question about the pc board.

There are several points that were not soldered on. Are  they suppose to be like that or is it a defect?

That seems correct,the contact point for the antenna is generally pretty weak.
