ESC-Motor Combo
I'm considering the Tenshock 411 4000kv and a Hobbywing ESC. What do you think of this combo? Anyone running it? I have read the entire thread, but don't recall if this exact combo was being run. Didn't come up in a search.
Also, suggestion on one of the following Hobbywing ESC's?
I think this is the one Mantis was running.

I come off at 160F after 8min main.
If you run less timing you can run 62/16.
I suggest you run a Castle BEC to avoid brown outs on the MMP or go with the Tekin RX8.

Are you running a fan on your motor, and what type of track do you race on (small,medium etc)? I have the same motor and highest I've gone was 15 on the timing with the same gearing.........

When I say "on/off" switch I was speaking of the way that 4 pole motor just snaps right down when off the throttle. I thought I had drag or drag brake set at first. The magnets are so strong that the things just wants to lock soon as I get off the throttle. It can be overcome by staying slightly into the throttle most times when with the tekin pro4 4000 I can't actually hit neutral instead around a turn. I still think its a great motor.... Check out my sig tag, I'm running it.

I could push it harder, but it has all the torque and speed I can make use of.

ordered my saddles from Gens Ace, they had them shipped within an hour or tow it seems. 
I checked the tracking and even though I specified ground, they already made it from California to Jax, Fl already. 
The estimated delivery date is next week which means they are sitting in a warehouse. 
It would be sweet if I get them tomorrow. I could possibly test Saturday and go racing Sunday.
