I am new so info would be great and sorry for the "dumb" questions.
I am about to get a Tekin 17.5 motor and a Speed Passion GT 2.1 ESC how well will these work together?
I will be running it in my Losi XXX-SCT RTR on a HobbyPeople 5000mAh 35c battery.

Hi!
I'm new to Citrix ESC. A local competition has specified this ESC to use with 13.5T motors and I was on a race on Monday and on the last final heat, the ESC stopped working after 1 minute of racing. I was using it with LRP ERASER stock spect 13.5T motor.
When I turn on the ESC, the light goes on, but BEC (power to reciever) is not working. The fan is not turning. The ESC did not overheat (after 1 minute of racing, the outside temp was 13deg C).
Any ideas what went wrong and what to do? I suppose this should be fixed under warranty?
Thanks,
Miha.

I am sure TEKIN is a good motor, but why not try the SPEED PASSION MMM 17.5 motor...? Multiple Europe Championships and 2X World Champion...can't go wrong with that.

At least you choose a good ESC, the GT2.1 ProStock is a great ESC.
We have couple SCT 17.5 setup on our website....take a look.

Not asking question before buying any of your gears, that is DUMB.

I haven't heard of any issues running the Tekin 17.5 motor. I actually ran a Tekin 17.5 if I recall correctly with the SP GT2.0 Pro back in the day on both 1S and 2S usage so I believe you should be fine.
If the MMM is too much money, there V3.0 motors are available for a good price new, I believe its like $60? The really nice thing about the motors in addition to how they perform is the fact that they have that plug setup. Really makes changing things out a snap.

I have recently purchased a SCT Master esc and Compv3 17.5 motor for my SC10FT and I have had no problems with the setup at all other than running about 150f-155f after 10 min main 28/75 gears (AE recommended gear). Should I drop a pinion or is it alright to run the SP v3 17.5 at those temps because I really need the top end for a jump at my local track. I want the motor to last for awhile but also need to get every bit of power to be competitive in the class. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! The only reason I haven't lowered my gearing yet is I have to compete with Tekin pro setups and LRP setups and need every bit of power/topend. I guess I have to or risk frying motor right? Thanks!

Just got my 2.0 pro today and I am a little confused with software firmware update.
I will be running this in a 4x4SC with a 4pole 4000KV motor.
I consider this a mod motor and I see all the warnings on Speed Passions site about using Stock Software with mod motors.
Do I want 110323 stock? That seems to be all that I can find and it does not say anything about no mod motors.

Mundy,
believe it or not, I run my Cirtix 4400kv in blinky mode on my 2.0 Carbon, geared 54-16 in my Supa Slash 4x4.
It is out of control-stupid fast if your run in 323, and just plain fast in 119. I would turn off all enhancements if you run in the 119 profile. Timing and boost off.
