I bought a S747e some weeks ago to run it besides my nitro S747 and to run it in times our track doesn't alow to run nitro.
Why a S747e in stead of a S411? I had already the spare parts, tires, bodys,...

I run a Tekin RX8 gen 2 with a LRP 4-pole 4800kV motor and LRP 3S lipo packs.
This works very well.

Id stick to 48dp gears as well as I'm not sure 64dp would handle the torque.
What spur/pinion combo would you suggest for a large outdoor nitro onroad track? I run the stock 72T spur and I tried pinions 20, 21 and 22T.
My motortemps are always around 75°C after a good 5 minutes of racing. I have a Castle creaction fan on the motor but I think this doesn't make a big difference. (I haven' tested without it)
