That's assuming he would be wide open non stop and even then I doubt it would ruin the motor, maybe the bearings would die but if temps were good it would be totally do able. Castle bearings can handle 60,000 rpm so your saying tekin motors have a lower quality bearings? I doubt that. Anyway 2s is just a reccomendation. 3s would be insane. I've been running a 2650kv tork on 6s for a long time and it's max is rated at 4s. You just can't live with the throttle wide open.

Most 4S-6500s that are on pre-order will get shipped out by the middle of next week if there is no issues with shipping/customs. We then expect more by the end of this month.
For the 4S-5100 they will be in by the middle of next week if there is no shipping/customs issue.

@Mullet1 Sorry the Solder job isn't the best, and that's liquid tape on the joints... I'll get better at it one of these days.. But that's what we are in the hobby for right? No one just shows up with an epic solder station and flawless joints right out the gate! But then again that's just me...
@timannnn6 Thanks for the info, and it's fixed now!
@mydudrevo Nope it's a 2s 6500, sorry for the confusion and the subsequent argument that almost was born because of it!
I almost thought about getting the 3k series HD motor just so I could have the option to run 3S but decided against it.. In the class I run, 3s isn't authorized in my old rig I had the castle 2400 and ran it a few times with the 3s on the track just for fun. But trying to get more competitive in the scene decided to get the 4300kv HD.

You can charge up to 6C and possibly higher but as I explained before most chargers will not give 100% charge when set to high. I believe 2 to 3C is the best combination between speed and a good charge. This means at 10 to 13 amps you should get good results.

They are coming in our next shipment which was due in early next week but this shipment is currently having an issue that I hope will be resolved by Monday. Seems like the company that brings the shipments from China to UPS in HK have misplaced/lost 2 boxes. It's been 3 days now and they still haven't figured out where the boxes are. As soon as I know the arrival date of this shipment I will post it.

Well Danny I got my new SMC packs today got them charged up and WOW what a EXPLOSIVE difference! I know i know 5000mah 40c VS 6500mah 70c should be a difference but I never thought it would be such a MASSIVE difference! So as long as they last as many cycles. Gens ace is OUT and SMC is IN!!!!! So i hope you get some more in with the deans plug so i can get some more!! I did finally get my standing back flip out of the savage to but i have to be careful not to do 1.5 back flips!! haha Stripped 3 wheels out to just on the first run and i run out of time to play with it before the packs was done!! i stopped at about 30 mins of run time! Packs are A bit warm tho. So is the motor and ESC so i may need to gear down just from a battery up grade!!
