A question about my slash setup...
#2
youll cook that motor for sure... WAY too high of a KV motor... you need like a 3500kv motor for a slash....

you would have to gear it way down. the 6900kv motor, by my knowledge, is ment for crazy speed. if you put it in with stock pinion and spur gear, it would be working too hard to accelerate the car, and would overheat really fast. you would want a big spur gear and a small pinion to keep the motor doing what it does best, spin really fast. with the lower kv motor, you get more torque and less rpm, so you could still gear it to go fast, but it would not overheat as fast. correct me if im wrong

The motor won't cook If you stick with say 7 cell nimh or 2S Li-Po max and gear correctly. Just follow Castles gearing chart and run the largest spur gear possible and a pinion gear in the 15T-20T range. Keep motor temps under 190 and you should be good. I ran a 7700 in my old B4 buggy for a couple of years following the same general rules and never had any issues. But get ready cause your Slash is gonna move out pretty good. 45 MPH plus if you can keep it under control. If your looking for more of a bashing motor the 5700 or the 4600 are better choices.

Okay, that was crazy. half throttle, going uphill on our court, it was screaming. Any more and it would have flipped over! I put the motor in the for sale section
Also, the esc heatsink and motor were really hot after only two minutes. This was to be expected though, right?
