i am looking for a little pinion help i have been running my gpt with a 540xl7 for about a year now and finely the 6 cell lipo killed it. now it is has smoked i am going to get the castle 2200. i tried the 540xl with a 19 pinion it did hit 72 mph but heat was always a problem. with the new motor i want a good match of low heat and speed. what would be a good size to start with since the 2200 is a 4 pole and the 540xl was a 2 pole i not really sure where to start. just wondering what you guys are running


another thing, i have looked at this motor would you think it would be better for the price
60.00$
44mm round
55mm long
2400kv
My opinion is to go with good quality Brushless system, either the Castle or Tekin.
