My tt runs great with a 7 turn duo 3 and vxl on 2 cell. 540 motors seem fine for this truck, IMO.
Well I was thinking guys were running warm with 540s and 550 guys were getting out run by 540 guys. I seen it and was thinking the old 2 birds 1 stone you know. I can't afford an rx8, maybe a 150amp track star or something similar. If I can find some contact info on speed passions site and ask what how many amps it needs.
Thanks much for the info easyryder, can you tell me was your truck fast before your esc would thermal?
