A friend of mine is one of the first guys that jumped to the 4-pole motor and is sponsored by Tekin. He is planning to get the Pro2 motor for his 2wd SCT. Since these trucks are based on the real LOORS and TORC series I don't see any reason these new 4-pole motors would not be cool to run. It would make the Mod SCT 2wd class run more like the real thing. 900HP in a 2wd truck is crazy!!

So as I start to plan my new SC10.2 kit I want to get this new Tekin Pro2 motor. I am used to the 8.5/7.5 Ballistic motor up to now. I don't want to get the top Kv motor so I think I will get the 5100Kv Pro2 motor to start. Gearing should be similar to an 8.5t then right or can the 4-Pole use a taller gearing?
|
The tekin motor is at least sensored. That would make it a lot easier to drive. I still think its way too much motor. please dont compare 5100kv 4 pole to a 8.5 motor, lol it is a LOT more motor than an 8.5. I would treat it more like a 5.5 or 6.5. who knows, maybe the next big thing will be 4 pole in 2wd buggy.
|
My bother drives a buggy with a 4pole in it, and it's insane fast!!!
|
I have seen the people running 4 poles in 2wd sc, and yes they are fast. The funny thing is when I stay my lines and lap them a time or two. What really pisses me off is coming off the straight when they go kamakazi and rip the rear of your truck off (basically happened last week)

See that pisses me off too, I've never had anything break my buggy truck just flips. And its annoying. I put a 4 pole motor in my 2wd scb and I love it. Quick as he** and always fun to pull wheelies. |
Does any one know the correct weight of this part GHEA2060 Front bulk head brass.
AMain says 30grams and GHEA's site says 20 grams |

I had that happen last weeks race, I lapped the 7th place driver, and as I tried passing him he plowed me in the side and took off a turnbuckle, I lost 2 positions cause of it, funny thin is, he was setup right next to me on the pit area, and whn i got off the track he could see I was pissed and he was like I'm sorry man it was an accident....I didn't say anything hahaha

I had to put in my ol 1406 castle 5700, had a main bearing fail in my 7.5. I forgot how awesome 4 poles are, I can run 20 mins strait in practice and the motor is 115, Speedo cool,and battery cool. Front wheels stay about a half inch off the ground the entire strait. :)
I can't imagine I would be a good idea with less traction though. |
