I'm running a 14t on a medium size indoor track,
most folks here run a 13 or 14 there.
I switch to a 15t when I run at a larger/faster indoor track.
I may try a 16 at a large outdoor track.
so far it never gets past 145 with any gearing I've tried

Glad the towers got there OK!

i also made my own number plates different shape from the stock ones, they have more contact from the air flowing over the cab

I run a 15t on a large indoor high bite track. It temps at 145 without a fan but my motor seems to run a bit hotter than other 1410's. I use to run it in my Slash 4x4 and it would always temp at 175 with a fan on it. I've got a lot of cycles on my Gens Ace 40c batts and am getting about 10 minutes run time now. In my Slash I would get 15-17.

On my Blitz, I thought I'd give them another shot, and bought another steering rack, and it sucked too...slopped out in short order, was poorly machined with poor tolerances for the stock inserts. I will not buy another STRC product

They are cheap...but for good reason.

I will agree on the steering rack!!!!

I have run both and firmly believe sensored is a waste unless you are rock crawling.
The sensor only works at take off from a dead stop and it is a fact that sensored is less efficient.

I'm surprised to find that the Novak's also don't support sensorless. That is just dumb. Hall sensors fail at times and sensor cables certainly do fail and get pulled out. My cheap hobbywing seems better and better all the time. I'm going to get another for backup.
