I have the stock esc and motor out of a 3s BLX, can I just buy the $169 Vorteks 4x2, install my motor and esc and add the $80 4x4 upgrade from ebay or will I just shred the gears from the 4x2?

I tried but they are trying to get $200 and it has no tires. Im not sure why people are trying to get $115 for a vorteks with no body, tires, electronics or gear case. The prices are ridiculousI recently did the the same thing to my Typhon mega. I'm not sure about the Vorteks 4x2 but I had to buy a spur gear case as the mega case would not work with the BLX motor, and while you are doing that make sure you upgrade to a metal spur gear the plastic will not last any time at all. You might want to look on ebay for a
4x4 Vorteks roller and see the price difference. Good luck with your endeavors.
I recently tried to price out a roller, it was over $200 and it was called a slider as it had no tires. So if I bought this “slider” I need tires, motor, esc, transmitter, receiver and servo. If I buy the 4x2 and blx parts I need from Jennys its about identical to the slider so I guess its no different than just buying a new 3s vorteks from Horizon. Now I see I can buy a granite 3s for only $259 so I think Im scrapping buying a third vorteks for nowI recently did the the same thing to my Typhon mega.
