I would say, just get the 120a Ezrun don't need a 150a one.
I will prolly be reassuring that it's a higher amp rating but unless you run a super hardcore heavy/large vehicle, a 120a is all you need.

A Losi SCTE/Tenshock combo routinely pulls more than 150 amps on 2s. Just sayin

which is probably why the 70A mamba max pro has difficulties with this motor...

I think the MMP is actually rated somewhere around 120 amps even though castle refuses to give exact specs. The main issues of the MMP isn't supplying the motor with power though, it's with supplying the esc and servo with power, and with it's actual firmware. The Tenshock isn't the only motor the MMP has issues with though, You can pretty much add any motor bigger than a 540 2 pole to that list when trying to run on 2s lipo

i agree though. i could never get my mmp with a BEC to NOT cog with a novak 4.5 550. it wasn't horrible cogging, but it cogged at WOT.

That chart is odd. It lists the MMP max input at 12 volts, but lists on their site as 6s compatible. They also taunted there old mamba max esc to be rated at 100 amps continuous. I have a feeling even castle themselves have no idea, lol.

I have a MMP I've been using in my 2wd sct to sell yet, and then I'll be completely free of castle products

sure it is. A turn is a turn, whether it's on a type of pavement or a type of dirt or clay. Every space between them is a drag race, that's why we're buying Castle 1410's and Tenshocks and Tekin 4 poles. Proline stuff works good out here at most of our tracks. In the morning you'll run an M3 compound, when it heats up mid day go to an M2, and when it cools off in the afternoon and the track is grooved up you run an M4. Just like in California most run the J Concepts stuff (I've been told) and run greens but when its really hot they put on the orange compound. We all want the most power and traction. Racing is racing and winning is winning. Power is nothing without control, and control comes from tires first, then setup. With these amazing motors you really notice a huge difference once you get it right. Thats why tire manufacturers put up charts with temperature ratings that tell what type of tire to run based on temps. Some tracks hold more heat than others. When it's 85 here the track temp can be as much as 110.

is it ok to run 3's on the ten shock 401 4000KV motor with a RX8 in a TEN 4X4 ?Thanks

Any suggestions for gearing a 4600 in a SCRT10?

the system can take it. i would just gear it really low, like 11T to start and watch temps.

Its a 780 burst amps and works perfect with any turn and any size motor.

What's has a 780 burst amp rating? If you are referring to the castle MMP, I highly disagree with it working perfectly for any motor. It hardly works for anything on 2s as it's internal BEC is beyond pathetic

However, if you are talking about the RX8, then I agree, it works great with everything I've tried.

I ran this motor this past weekend in 110 degree weather. I've read some people frying the bearing with just a few runs. I added some bearing oil to the bearing every few heats and had zero issues. Thanks for the tips.
