Would something like this work to keep the 540 motor cool? Any issues putting in motor coolers? Space?

I run a Murfdogg 5.5 2pole 540 motor and with the fan I have no temp issues. Start with low ESC timing and work your way up like with any set-up.

I have the "cheat" mode turned off in the MMP. No timing. No motor timing. I am not at my home pc, but I think there is punch or toque controls, right? Would I need to change those?

Cameron,
Which fan are you running? The one I linked?

Thinking off selling my SC10 4x4, I want to try a different class and can only afford one car at a time :cry:. Has the following:
Custom saddle pack conversion
Custom chassis brace
8mm mod
RCShox 2-stage pistons
RCshox V2 Center diff
Trackstar O-rings
Sway Bars
Aluminum hexes
RPM Front Arms
STRC Aluminum belt tensioners
A bunch of extras and brand new avid hub bearings.
Diffs correctly shimmed
2 sets of wheels
2 sets of mounted AKA city blocks (one 60%, the other brand new)
2 beat up bodies
2 slightly puffed (still balance and work perfectly) Gens Ace 6000mah 25C saddles

Any idea how much I could get?

Thanks! Hopefully I can stay but I want to try something else with a wing lol.

I run Tekin ESC. I run 30deg of ESC timing in Dual mode with -5 timing on the motor. Geared 16/93 can run a pack dead with temps under 150 with a fan.

Just want to make sure it's clear for those who try to emulate you; 30 degrees or the value of 30 on the timing advance slider?

would blue aluminum shock caps be needed for the sc10 4x4 truck?

While I was cleaning up my slipper, I noticed that where the belt cover goes into the tunnel shape, the belt is actually laying right on top of that at the bottom. There's some marks of it rubbing there too. It seems to be very close or even touching all along the belt tunnel. It doesn't seem to cause trouble, but that is unneeded drag.. however, there's nothing I can do to raise the belt at the bottom, or is there?

Nope. Haven't heard of anyone breaking the stock plastic ones ever.

In dual mode the timing value on the hotwire is set to 100 which is 30 total timing. In sensored mode it is totally different. The number on the slider is the actual timing and not a percentage of 30. TOTALLY CONFUSING I KNOW! :lol::lol::lol: Why Tekin did that way I will never know.

problem I have seen mounting the fan or fans like the picture shows is the chassis flexs then breaks the fun blades..

Not sure if you have tried yet , just wanted to share my experience when I mounted fans as shown ...

Mine doesn't flex, I have four screws holding it to the chassis. Fans been there for a year.

Awesome if you have enough rip to jump everything you want.

Did you ever run the motor timing any higher or lower?

Nope Murfdogg dyno's them I just run them. All motor manufactures have their own zero mark. With the low wind Murfdogg motors he set's mine at -5 for short course. I have not come up short yet on any jump combo or at least what is the fastest way around the track combo. :sneaky:
