I was about to pick up a 10.5 motor to go into my 2wd SC10. I already have a Tekin RX8 so I was thinking I would try the Redline 10.5. Anyone have any experience with this motor in a 2wd?
What do you think is the best setup?

I would go with the Tekin RS and the Redline 10.5 motor.

I run the Tekin RS and the Redline 10.5 system in my T4 and it is a rocketship. I just finished building my FT SC10 and was going to either run the 10.5 or the 8.5 redline in it.

I dont want to have to buy an RS when I already have an RX8. What do you think??

That's big esc for a 10th scale.

not sure that is a legal speed control for 1/10 scale if your racing?

They let them in the 4wd class.....I have the 2050 RX8 combo on the way for
a 4wd Slash. I do run the RS w/ Novak 10.5 and 13mm ht rotor in my 2wd Slash and it 's a handfull

I replaced this RX8 in my 1/8th buggy and went to a MMP. Lots of my buddies run MMP's in thier 1/10 so whats the difference?

So pretty sure an 8.5 motor on a tight track is not an option?

I would say maybe with the 14mm HT rotor and a mild throttle curve.
I like the ht rotor's in high kv motor's. Since the bigger rotor lose's some
rpm , but run's so much cooler.


I have a 8.5ss 5800kv that I put my 13mm rotor in for bashing around. It
will pull the wheel's up on a 2s w/ the RS in sensord mode.

throttle control would have to come into play I know alot of the guys a race at run 8.5 and 9.5 mainly because the 10.5 are getting hot from gearing them to much?

+1 to getting hot w/ 10.5 in a sensored set-up..once I ran mine in
Dual mode I was running 15 minutes hard and still at 130 deg

ya everything I run seems to get hot. I play with gearing and if its not the motor its the esc. I suppose an 8.5 wouldn't really have this issue if you set it up mild.

The one question I get asked is do u get marshalled often? If u do gear down if You don't gear to the moon
