I raced my SCTE at the Ontario RC-Pro round 1 race at Average Joe's/Vineland Speedway this past weekend. Had a terrible qualifying and ended up somewhere in the B. Won the B by a rather large margin and bumped to the A. Started from the back in the A and won the A by again, a rather large margin.
It's cool that shortcourse doesn't blow anymore.
My truck is totally stock, slightly bent shocktowers, busted rear bumper, etc. - Running an RX8 and Novak 5.5t sc motor. Proline Sniper SC tires are dialed.

Anyone running the 1410 outdoors on a medium size 1/8 scale track? It was almost 90* out Sunday and my motor temps went up from 140* to 160*. Would a 20* increase in ambient temp equal the same increase in motor temp? What is the max temp these motors can run at? Thanks.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a quality fan for my Neu motor? I purchased a Castle fan and ran it for about a month before it died. It isn't overheating in the SCTE without it but I would rather it be a little cooler.

I just want to comment that many have done really well with the stock weight car. Like I commented most of the stuff I did to lighten my car was to add strength or tunability to my car. No need to hack it all to pieces to get it to handle better. Just want to put that out there.

I finally got a more firm date on when the springs would ship and it is the middle of June. Which means we will have them by the end of June.
When shipments come in, as I've explained a few times, its a first come first served basis, no special treatment. So, whoever placed the orders first, get the first products.
I can attest to this as well.

As for max temps it should be listed in the booklet that came with the motor or on Castles site. If it's like the rest of the brushless motor, I'm gonna say that 170-180 is starting to get too hot, and I blieve that 190-215 is the area that could cause damage if see's that range too many time.

Too slow? Dang man how fast do you need to go? It keeps up with everything out there. I had zero issues with speed issues.
As far as cogging goes....you would have to check your esc settings. There is a setting that you can change that has start power or something like that.
I experience no cogging whatsoever. It has more power than is needed.
I've had guys that run the 2650 and were very impressed with the motor.
I run 2s 40c 5000mah venom's and am very pleased with the batteries.

Bro the 1415 on 2s is deffinitly more sluggish than the 1410 on 2s. I think its slow also on 2s. Its been talked about before and even Salad said the 1415 with a 18 tooth pinion on 3s is the same speed as the 1410 on 2s with the same gearing. If you have the 1415 3s is when it comes alive.
..A decent c rating lipo also helps imo..

Yea being hot outside would probably make the motor temps rise, are you running the fan on the motor???

You could spend a fortune on Ti hardware if you replaced all of it. The biggest bang for the buck is to replace the 14 large 8-32x1/2" chassis screws with AE aluminum screws, the 4 large 8-32x1/2" button head screws in the front arms with lunsford titanium, and to replace all the 5-40 locknuts(24 I believe) with aluminum ones. Couple that with Ti hingepins, and Ti turnbuckles, and thats about a 2.5~3 ounce savings in total. After that, you are down to replacing 5-40 screws of various lengths....so your return on investment will diminish drastically.
