Hi,friends,I come here to gather information.
how is the SC401 running right now? Do we need to improve somewhere?Thanks.

The motor is blisteringly fast in my lightened Losi SCTE, runs at reasonable temps and is smooth, and overall my favorite motor to date....but I can't have unreliability in a racing motor. This one DNF could potentially ruin any chances for a repeat as state champion.
I will reglue the rotor and see if it was just inferior sleeve retainer used, but if it acts up again, it's going to do like a lemming and jump off a cliff.

without me searching through this whole post, could someone shed some light on the 540 size 4 pole 5xxxkv motor and its power and mainly temperature in a car like the sc104x4..
it was this or a cc 540 or a novak 550.. i chose this as the price was decent..
anyone?/

If anyone else has an issue, Permatex sleeve retainer is the best substance on earth to attach the magnet group to the motor shaft. Much better than what Novak uses, as we've had plenty of those come unglued, and apparently better than what tenshock uses. Good for temps up to 400 degrees.
Super stoked my Tenshock appears reliable once again, as I love the power characteristics of this motor
I won yet another A main with it last saturday

Tenshock has the perfect opportunity to do this with their dovetailed magnets.....but then the dovetailed section is glued on. If they used a one piece motor shaft/magnet holder it would be the perfect settup but likely cost more. At any rate, my Novak 4.5 ballistic HV is for sale....I'm going to pick up a 4000kv Tenshock as my backup motor.

I still haven't had a chance to run my 4600kv in my SC10 4x4 yet. However, I ran it in a Hyper TT with the Hobbywing SC8. The motor ran killer with temps no greater than 110 degree's and a 14t pinion. The power and torque was great!
I'm very happy with this motor!

I'm running the 4000 in a Losi SCTE geared with a 13 pinion. I pull my friends Hyper 10SC set up with a Novak 4.5 geared 14t on the long back straight at our track by two truck lengths by the end.
Motor has been coming off our outdoor track after about 10 min runs around 135~145 with outside temps in the high 70's low 80's. That's with no heat sink. Temps here are going to be above 100 outside soon so I am curious to what you guys have found out works good for heat sinks. I was looking at Novaks 5412. Might be the way to go.
Super torque, great top end; so far so good on the reliability. Have about two dozen 6000mah packs through it with a Tekin RX8 esc. Rock solid and running the same it did out of the box new.
I have the 4600 version sitting in the box but haven't felt the need to use it yet. Kinda afraid it'll get hot in this tank of a SCT.

I have passed all your suggestions on to the MFR so we will see.

what speed control are yall using with these motors?
im planning on using a MMP with either the 4000kv or 4600kv.
are there any issues with using the max pro?
also, how is the 4000kv vs the castle 1410 3800kv ?

i know it's apples and oranges since the tenshock is much longer, but i dont want to get the 4600 and be unable to control it or get the 4000 and be dissapointed in top speed.
edit. this will be for a sc10 4x4.
