Finally got to run the 4800 in my newly converted 1/8th to SC 4wd. This thing has power on both low and top ends and flat out hauls a$$. I'm running it with no timing on the motor or my Novak Havoc Pro X-drive esc. Even with my heavier 1/8th platform on 2S I can hang with anything on the track (except maybe 1/8th scale on 4s). Only limitation to faster lap times is my skill.
After a battery (6-8 minute run) motor temped at around 150* and esc at 117*. So temps are great. However, this motor draws major juice so better have good connectors and soldering as I noticed my wires got pretty warm as well.
On a note about temps. Originally mated this up to an MMP esc but it could not handle this motor. It would temp well past 125* after only 2 laps. I didn't want to push it so I swapped esc's.
This thing is a beast! Awesome motor.
