Just a little update on the Tekin 4.5 temps. Once I removed the bubble gum like grease and replaced it with 5-5-3 my temps went from 160-170 after 6 minutes to 135-140...WOW !! Gearing is 15/40. It seemed to free the truck up quite a bit. I'm running the RX8 ESC with current limiter @ 90 and timing @ 10 , no drag brake. I also took the stock shock pistions (rear) and made them 6 hole so all 6 are the same size with 27.5 wt oil. I think these changes made a huge difference and the truck feels very stable and smooth. Is it me but this truck doesn't feel like a 6.75lb truck when I drive it??

I got excited yesterday, I spoke w/ a castle tech yesterday and while he wouldn't confirm anything he did say they were discussing a run of 3800 rotors being made available w/ 5mm shafts. Also mentioned that a 5000kv version of the 1415 was being discussed, can you imagine a 4pole 550 motor at 5000kv w/ sensorless effeciency, nothing would touch it.

and its 4pole, ya its 4500kv but it whoops my ballistic 4.5 and also stays really cool running a 16 and 17t pinion its usually around 130s maybe 140s after 7min of running

Just picked up my SCTE. I was over electric after having 1/8 8ight 2.0 stuff.
What is a good motor/esc that people are running. Locals use a 2S for racing. Castle stuff was smoking up all the time 3 years ago. But they were the only good 1/8 scale player. What would you guys recommend?

On 3S the 1415 with a 12-13T pinion is about the same speed as the 1410 but has much more low end.
Both are good, both will work... I like the little one for 2S and the larger one for 3S.
