I hate to contradict another review, but I have seen these run HARD for an entire racing season in a bone stock 2WD Slash and have zero problems. I have also used them in low priced RWD buggy along with an XL-5 Brushed ESC with no issues. When geared correctly it does heat up a bit but not so much that the motor would fry itself. Brushed motors naturally run hot and have a limited life compared to brushless due to their "brushes". Dollar for dollar this seems like the most powerful motor you can[]

These are actually pretty darn good motors for the price. I have had very good luck with them. Take these other negative reviews with a grain of salt. I've seen people burn up these motors with improper gearing. Then they blame the motor, the truck, Traxxas and God. These motors can last a while if you take care of them. Break them in according to the manual. After every race/practice day, clean them off and add a little bushing lube on each end. If they fill up with dirt and grime, blow t[]

We have went through 5 motors for the two Slash trucks we have for our kids, Traxxas replaced them but I have given up. Two of them went one battery pack after the break-in time and then went to the motor afterlife the others were about a week! Great truck other than this. My dad has two of them and they run brushless-never had any issues.

Not a good buy for speed, not bad for torque. I have burned up 2 of them in a few months. I am running it in a rustler with a 23 tooth pinion and 86 tooth spur. This is well within the limit of the motor specs but not so much..... Go with 19 tooth only and it s a great motor for the money. I am upgrading to the blazinly fast and reliable velineon system. Cant wait.

MOTOR MUITO FRAGIL QUEIMA MUITO FACIL AS ESCOVAS E UM A PORCARIA
by Ground Haug - Rating: 5 of 5 Stars! Tuesday, November 25, 2008
my first motor went out but that was my fault. the second one, has been running great for about 6 months now since I learned to not shove it in reverse and to break it in before i open 'er up to top speeds. also, keeping it clean helps. I like this motor. it's great for the cost, 25.00, can't beat that.

My favorite brushed motor. I run this in my factory team T4 with a 23t pinion and a 4500 2s lipo on a midsize loose offroad track. I get very controllable acceleration, controllable punch, and very good top speed. I tried brushless motors in the same vehicle and they were very hard to control with any pinion and eventually sheared CVDs and dogbones with any pinion/slipper combo. I have found in this vehicle that brushless has unpredictable punch, and unpredictable low end. A popular recent issue[]

i dont know where your getting your titan motors from but the ones i have are working amazing. just be sure to break them in, and they'll last a few months easily

Nothing but bad luck with the titan 12t motor. I have purchased several of these and its the same story every time, after just a few uses (being cleaned after every use) they start losing brush contact and after sitting you would have to snap the brushes and if you're lucky they would start working again. I have had WAY better luck with HPI's Firebolt 15t motor with absolutely no headaches so far. I have ran 1 of the firebolt 15t in the same lifespan of 3 titan 12t's. If the titan 12t motors had[]

ok motor. if you dont break them in properly they burn up and even then mine burned up pretty early in it's life. my second one was a goer though, i treated it like $#!% and ran it on 3s lipo and it lasted a pretty long time :D

Very unreliable motor, seldom lasts more than 10-15 runs, good power WHEN it works, but too unreliable to justify the price. Not rebuildable, can get expensive quickly
