I'll try to shoot some video and get it online this evening. I think I can gear it to be just as fast as the 5200, but be a little more conservative on power... at least that is what I am hoping.
I know exactly what you're talking about. My tenshock sc401 4600 is a power hungry beast that makes it impossible to run for more than 8-9 mins. Since the turnigy is a vented can, i can see myself having problems with it on a dusty track. Sure you can blow it off after each race, but bearings will still go out faster, and more binding throughout the whole motor. I'm sticking with my decision of going with the hobbywing 4700 sct motor. If turnigy offers a 4 pole sealed can 550, then i might give it a shot.
