I bought a Trinity Epic TEam DUO 3 8.5T sensored motor that i just put in and drove. Here is my issue. This motor is a 6000KV and it is not any faster than the 3500kv tacon. It might even be slower! WHat gives? I figured this thing would haul the mail with that motor. I also dropped it back to a 13T pinion.
The second motor that im waiting on is a LRP X11 6.5T motor.
I also have a 4300Kv Tacon i could put in it. WHy is it so slow???
Different motor brands have different ratings for example my hobbywing 5.5t motor is rated at 6000kv and it is quick and i use 13t pinion in my tt. The hobbywing 8.5t motor is rated at 4000kv. Therefore i think your team epic motor probably is really only about 4000kv which is why it isn't much quicker than your 3500kv tacon.
i hope that makes a bit of sense to you!
I have had a lrp 6.5t in mine and they are quick but just watch the temps
