Also what are the sizes of a 540 and 550 motor? Most of the motors I look at dont state 540 or 550. Thanks for the info guys!
550 is basically the same diameter of a 540 just longer the 1/8 scale motors ie castle 1515,1517 and tekin 1/8 motors are bigger in both diameter and length
people with a rx8 at my track run it with either a 550 novak ballistic or 550tekin sc motor....regardless of what motor u get u will have to get another motor for an 1/8th scale.
i use a novak gtb and either a 550 or 540 motor the 550 runs A LOT!!! cooler idk what anyone says..550has more rpm tho so it's a choice/depends on what track u run issue.
the only negative issue is that the rx8 is real big for the tt..will not fit under the body unless you move the battery tray fwd and mount it behind the battery.
