I've done most of the mods on here with the exception of a saddle pack conversion. I know it's a 540 can vs a 550 so the torque will be a lot more in my current motor. Outdoor season is coming up and I'll be running on a large 1/8 scale track so I'm wondering if I would even use this SC4X motor.
Thoughts?
Maybe I am missing something but isn't the SC4X also a 550 motor like your Novak 550?
I think the rotor on Tekin is 12.5mm and the rotor on the stock Ballistic 550 is 12.3mm?
May see more torque with the Tekin. Could be more heat resistant too since its thicker, though on these SC104x4s may be a non-issue.
I liked mine but the 540 4 pole Tekin is definitely more powerful.
