You can put a battery as big as you like. I would put a big battery on the bed of the truck and i would do halls in the bed to pass the cables to the esc. Because is a custom work you will do halls and cuts and trimming with a dremel style tool. It's not difficult as it sounds. As long as you have the tools and the parts you can do a lot of things.
I am doing a similar upgrade, but i still want to be able to drive at low speed. Do you still have low speed throttle control with that ESC and motor? and what kv is the motor? Thanks
The motor is 5800kv it has link in the description. The size of the motor is 2430 surpass hobby and the esc is 25 amp. When you open the link you will see it in the store.

What battery did you end up going with? Bought the kit and put I all together not knowing I'd need to upgrade it
Hi, I use original 7.4v battery
@@jumpstar8064 what connector is used on the battery to connect to new esc?
Did you buy the motor with the pinion attached? Do you have a link to it?
For your reference:

I don't think the motor comes with the pinion. You should take out the pinion from the stock motor and put it in the new brushless motor.

do you have to change the remote?
Yes, the remote has changed to X6A Transmitter
which channel did you put the led?
Channel 3 or 4 also ok.
Would it fit in a wpl d42?
Should fit because it seems that the chassis is the same and the body is different.
