I run the t8 2650 with 40 timing and a 20t pinion on a indoor medium/high traction. I have had great success with this setup. There is actualy three of us at the track that run the 2650 with out a single hiccup. I tried a Novak 4.5 with 12t pinion stock timing and temps always hit 160 170. The 2650 stays in the 130's. This thing is an absolute beast of power. I like the motor for one main reason... No troubles... But you must use a good strong battery.

just ran my truck for the first time this past sunday.... awesome is all i can say but i do have a question.....
im running a tekin scx4 5.5 with a speed passion 2.1 on 2s 5000mah 35c ..... i didnt add any timing to either the motor or speedo but i did add in a bit of boost... motor temps were 170ish first run so i dropped a tooth and motor temps went to 180ish... but i noticed both runs about 3 mins in the power was starting to fade a bit... was it the battery not having the enough out put or the motor temps?
any one else run this setup?

If temps went up when you dropped a tooth you should go back, maybe add a tooth if you gear down too much it can raise temps. Dial back some timing on the motor if any is there now to reduce some heat 160 is on the hot side if you are not at summer temps already
If the battery wasn't enough you would see the same temps on either gearing.. really you should be temping the lipo's too see if the are staying under 130. If you want more punch especially later in the pack yes you need some nice 50c+ batteries..

After owning and racing the SCTE for over a month now, and still being undefeated, and talking to everyone on this forum I have an idea. I think the SCTE should come with a pre-painted body. It should be painted with a school bus theme......................................Ya know, since it takes all the other brands to school on a weekly basis..
Just a thought!

I run the Castle 2650, and Tekin 2650 in my SCTE and it's a great motor, fast powerful and good run times with no heat. I think I like the Tekin a bit better seems to be more controllable, Still need to get it on the track and do some time comparison with the Castle 1410 to see what is helping me turn faster times.
