Hello,
I hope this is an alright place to post this.

I'm a newb at the electric scene, and I recently got the 4x4 kit. Built it finished, put all my electronics in and took it out and... Kinda pathetic performance. Yes, it's my fault, but I would like to confirm where I went wrong.

My setup,

Castle 1410 3800kv Motor
Castle Mamba Max Pro ESC
Reedy Wolfpack 3000mah 2S 25c packs.

16t pinion. 32 pitch. Stock 32 pitch spur, 62t I believe?

I believe that my problem is first that the batteries only supply 3 x 25 = 75 amps, not the 160 of the 1410.

Also, the 16t pinion is geared way high, I noticed this afterwards.

The motor also gets warm fast, this could be false since I just blasted around on tar,ad for about 2 minutes, but my velineon in my trades took much longer to heat up.

I find it strange that motor companies do not state amp draws or so, or am I missing something, cause I couldn't find any sort of ballpark amp draw spec for the 1410. I come from a electric flight background where motors give an amp rating, is this cause it's more constant with props than drive lines?

Either way, what do you think could be the reason for my bad performance, am I thinking right or am I thinking about things wrong.

Also, how does one go about figuring out what will work in a setup like this, cause how do you know what amps the motor will be drawing and what battery will be able to handle it. I know how to find the max discharge on a battery, but not entirely sure about motors.

Cheers
Ramon
