    The Titan 775 does not enjoy being geared up too much the Big tires make it Overwork. Dewalt motor about 30 bucks gives you a bit more speed fair bit more torque and can be geared up

    the Dewalt part is:
    14.4 volt P/N 396505-21

    It is a brushed motor with replaceable brushes. Search the threads, there are several great step-step procedures. Read them to be sure it's within your capabilities. It's not a direct bolt in, but it's not too complicated either.

    BTW nice place to crawl

    Good luck, The Kid

    I know they're having their break there by your brake drums. No, you're not invited.
