IMO, I would stick with a 13.5T equivalent or higher. Anything lower than that, and you will be putting too much torque to the gears and drivetrain. There is a specific motor/esc combo for that truck, it runs about $150. You can get a little better price on hobbyparts and the like, but will only save abotu $40. I will try to look more into this for you this weekend.
 
Cool thanks Tony
I guess what I mean by board is I so used to air borne stuff like a control board like cc3d that in this case all I need is motor esc and rx which it has rx.
 
I've been up for a while. Actually at the dealership right now getting the oil changed in my truck. Only about 4 hours last night.
 
Well I got lucky...JST is not the way to go on this buggy...

I ended up cutting the battery free before I ended up with a fire....
At a bare minimum EC3 with equivalent wire.
 
Oh, if I knew you were using that kind of connector and wire, I would be yelling lmao. Yeah, that is way too small for that truck. The motor in that truck is going to pull 50+ amps. Way more than that little plug can handle. EC3 or Deans is what I suggest.

And nope, not too short to solder. I can't remember if you were the one to get the Hakko soldering station, but if you are, this is the perfect reason why you need it.
