Cooling mod
Here is a mod I thought I would share. It's a 25mm muchmore fan with a traxxas suspension pin screwed into the fan, with a scrap piece of lexan used as a pinch bracket. It has brought my motor temps down 40 degrees from 190 to 150.

saw this ins the r1 works thread. interesting fan mount
So far I used the Jconcepts Silencer and Proline phantom and they fit without cutting out the body with ample room for the fan to operate. Sweep Racing muzzle body requires just a tiny bit of cutting. The sweep body fits the 10g thrust fan perfectly on the waterfall and has a scribed area on the body where you can cut out for fresh air flow.
I am really happy with this fan setup. I am coming off around 10-15* hotter then my 10gram thrust fan mounted on waterfall but motor is still well within safe operating temps. What's great about this setup is that you can use the battery brace and it only takes 1 screw to remove the mount.

Ya know what's really nice? Having a motor that is as fast as any, and on a 100 degree day, it will come off at about 145 degrees after running the battery down to the cut off. But, I am ONLY referring to 17.5 though...not modified of course. I even like some of of fan mods I have seen too, but I would like to hope the guys that are running them, actually need them.

ESC/Motor and Servo for Novice/Stock
Been out of the scene for awhile and picked up a B5M kit, Spektrum DX4R and now I need some input on ESC/Motor and Servo.
I was looking at LRP Flow Team w/17.5 motor and also the Tekin RS GEN2 w/17.5. Any suggestions there?
What about a servo? I was thinking SC1258TG from Savox but heard of problems with Spektrum receivers??
Thanks!

IMO, get a HW 3.1 stock spec esc and program box, then pick up a good motor. Motors are kinda flavor of the month, but I doubt anyone thinks the tekin motors are super fast. People on rcteck like tekin, but that is about where it ends. They never podium crap. For the motor the schuurspeed or reedy are good 17.5 choices. The trinity d4 is getting mixed reviews. I will skip all of the science behind it, but the math on the d4 is not great. Use more mah than others and lower bottom end. This is from dyno testing. Lots of locals use the turnigy red can 17.5 with good result. Good power and runs cool.

tekin and LRp are not what they used to be, much more so with novak.

I dont run stock but a lot of the fast stock guys locally run the hacker skalar 17.5! For a stock motor that thing is wicked quick but i have also heard they can be hard to come by.

Tekin not what it use to be? I'd love to fly out to some of these tracks and actually race with some of you guys and see what problems you guys experience. Maybe I could help get to the bottom of something you have an issue with. While the HW is a great speedo I have yet to lose a race because someone had a better speedo or motor. Every motor company you have mentioned has good motors. One isn't better than the other IMO. Winners of the Cactus, OCRC stock nats, and 2nd and 3rd in the pro class at the OCRC stock Nats run at my local track so it's always a nationals at club races.
