I don't have any info for you on the 5.5 or 6.5, but I have the HV 4.5 in my truck. It's the dead of winter here where I live so the only running I have done is on a small tight twisty indoor track. The 4.5 is serious overkill for this track but will be a blast come spring on the big outdoor tracks. I am anxiously awaiting a stretch of mild sunny weather so the ice and snow will clear off the roads around my house and I can turn it loose on the black top and break in the tires better and let it wind out a little.

I read that Chad Bradley is running the 4.5HV in his car. Looked pretty good in the vid they shot at the race at Hot Rod Hobbies.

i havent measured yet, but it fits an ip 2s 5000 30c w/ alittle room. i also ran a max amps 2s 6500 30c but its tight you have to jam it in there. both have i foam spacer pad clearance in front, but the max amps you have a hell of a thime getting out. hope that helps some.

What specifically?

I took the KO BMC1 out of my touring car and directly installed it in my SCRT10 with an HV5.5, geared it appropriately and it's been running great!

Motor temps at 150*, ESC temps at 130* 2s 40C LiPo's temping at 100* after a 5 minute run with warm up.

Something went wrong in assembly. Did you remember the bladders? Did you over tighten the top caps and damage the bladders? The stock shocks on the crt.5 are the most reliable shocks I've ever used. Even better than any 1/8 scale. I'd go weeks w/o having to top them off, and when I'd check they'd be completely full.

I have an HV6.5 and a MMpro waiting to drop in. On my TP 40c 2s 5000 lipos what should I gear it with and what speeds can I expect?

i think the slash front offsets are the way to go. i mounted some up last night @ the track they filled out an sc10 body perfect. i have m3 bowties on hyper 10 wheels now and its still alittle narrow. i was traction rolling @ the end of our strait. i think the front slash will be the hot setup. ill keep you posted when i get some beadlocks mounted up in that offset.

So what other 8th scale motor setups will work with this truck? Is there another motor equivelent to the hv 4.5? Tekin, castle maube?

Resinrider

Thanks, I was thinking of picking up some of the new Hyperion G3's. Not sure if they will fit, but I can always mod the tray if needed.

Not really. Those are all too low KV. You need at least 3500 KV to run on 2s preferably in the 4000-5000kv range. If you run lower KV you will have to run at least a 3s battery. I generally shoot for 30-40K rpm (KV times voltage input).

proline tires and stock body = no problem!

Just got my SCRT10 and fitted up some proline beadlocks with proline bowtie sc tires and they fit with the stock body no problem!!!! just pull the hex of and you are good to go!


wheel part number is proline 2717-04

So then even the novak 5.5 hv is pushin the lower end of the kv range correct? thats all i can find around here since the 4.5 is discontinued, all im able to find are the 5.5 and 6.5 motors

That's correct but the 5.5 is adequate. 3700KV(still high compared to other 1/8 motors) will produce 27,380 rpm which should be fine. You can also gear it up a tad to get more top end if needed. I know some guys are running the 5.5hv with good results.
