Are you going to brace or support the motor to relieve some stress on the motor mount?
I wasn't planning on it, the motor mount is pretty robust.

FWIW, I run 20k/2000k/10k (F/C/R). Depending on how you use it, I'd expect the 300k CD is too light and will be running hot. Been thinking of upping my front and rear a bit (esp. the 10k rear, which is getting a bit leaky, which I suspect is because of the oil getting too hot) to something like 40k/20k (still "off-road-ish"), or 500k/40k (more "on-roadish"), but so far have been too lazy (I mean busy, obviously
) to get the diffs out.
Did you get the motor from the TP website? If so, then you can confirm whether the weight in their specs (think it's listed as 490 g or something, opposed to the ~586 g I got) is a typo or whether they changed something to the motor?
Or you just flash it with genuine Castle firmware,
thanks to Lizard / Rodizio.
Edit:
Here, I'll throw in this pic about diff fluids from Bill de Long out of the Hudy set-up guide, maybe it's useful:
Yup, big motor + lightweight platform = fun. I ordered it directly from TP Power and it weighs 585g.
Did you find it necessary to run a steel spur? I ordered one to have as a backup. What kind of gearing do you think is appropriate with no fan? I only have a 23T pinion at the moment.
Diff Ratio - 4.44
Spur - 44T
Motor KV - 1440 (or it could be closer to 1740 based on your findings)
Tire Diameter - 5.85"
Battery - 6S
So, when are you going to try the Lehner 2280 (44x120mm)?
