I'm on my second motor with 4000mah 20c lipos, probably 30 to 40 runs at 15 to 20 minutes each run...

I got the same lipo in my slash, and get around 20min when racing on a medium to large sized track. The stock titan motors have been really good to me. As long as you don't over gear it and clean and lube the bushes regularly, it works great.

In almost a year's time, I've only used 2 motors. Both of them wore the front bushing out and that's why I replaced them. And I've been running lipos on them since I got the truck.

I just put a 10.5 novak brushless setup in it, and along with the added speed and power, my runtimes are actually better.

I have the same battery pack only 30c and I ran a 5700KV Castle motor and ran for 20 min no problem in a SC10. This is way more motor than you are running you will see 20 min easily just do not overheat it watch the brushes for color changes if they do it is getting hot and you may want to change gearing. Its a trade off heat, speed, more brushes, keep the comm freshly cut. I have not run this motor but I would think they have some long wearing brushes in it for a Short course truck

good luck
