Man, I'm glad you cleared that up, Chris. I thought I was gearing fairly tall (for rigorous offroad anyway) at 9.3 fdr in a 2wd. When folks started saying they were running 7 something in a 4wd, I...

I know the kv rating is close, but that's where it ends. Trust me, they are two very different animals. I can't tell you anything about the SW-SCT speed controller because I'm running the new motor...

I read the rc-monster thread you gave...very relative, even parallel, to this thread. It answered some of the questions I had.

Nice! Thanks for the info. This combo, and its price, has to be making some other manufacturers queasy.

Hey i-plnt,
I know you said for 3S you were on an 11t pinion, but do you know what your final drive ratio is? I'm not familiar with the 10sc, so I don't know what your fdr would be even if I knew...

And another thing...why would it show 100K rpm max, right on the motor, if running it up to 40K would not be appropriate?

It seems Patrick & Joe are having a gentlemen's disagreement about this. I couldn't get that link to open, but I'll try to get to it & have a read...thanks.

First off, let me just say that I have no experience w/the 550 brushless motors. I haven't even driven next to someone running it, let alone myself. This is the first BL motor I've had that sits...

8.55fdr in a Slash 4x4?! Man, no wonder my 1410 was barely getting warm on 9.3 in a 2wd. That seems to make the whole vxl-3500 comparison frivolous. There is no way I could gear my stock Slash 4wd...

I believe Rufus is correct. This 1410 is said to be 50% more torque than a typical 540, which would put it right in the middle of those & the Novak and Tekin 550's. Castle is, however, coming out...

Rufus,
My experience was that cogging was reduced w/the 4-pole. I specifically tested that, & found that cogging stopped @ about half the speed of the 2-pole.
As for the waterproofing of motors, I...

Yes, I do have experience with the vxl3500. I have a Slash 4x4 that comes with it and my buddy has the brushless Stampede. It was probably the best early out, and widely available, lower kv motors...

@Posvar

Yeah, this should work out great in your Hyper 10. Even in 4x4 SCT's it should work very well on 2S.

Dox,
I think there's little doubt that Castle's new system will easily outperform the VXL setup...and does so for less money. The question is, will the races you plan to enter w/the 4x4 allow a...

@Doggie

That's exactly what I was thinking for the SWSCT. 15 on 2s, hopefully get away with 11 or 12 on 3s.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. It aided my understanding a lot. The only part I didn't understand was your first sentence. I do believe you could have a 2-pole & a 4-pole, of the same size...

Do any of you know if a 4-pole motor inherently pulls more amperage than a 2-pole? I realize that this new 1410's rotor is supposed to be substantially larger than that of a cm36, even though the...

It's Friday, I didn't think we had to wait until noon?

I may try it. I just wanted to make sure that no component, upon seeing 12.6v, would decide to go into early retirement.

Well, that makes plenty of sense. I still wonder, though, if geared properly it would work out on 3S in a 4x4 SCT. One could gear down to a pretty small pinion w/this motor, unlike the Mamba...

I'm still not sure why Castle says it is only rated to a max of 2S, 8.4v(fully charged). This new Sidewinder SCT's power handling ability is rated "very near" the original Mamba Max. My Mamba Max...

The "blower" (motor fan) looks pretty light-duty. I thought the shroud would be connected to an aluminum mount/heat sink, but it is all plastic...it definitely...
