i guess we'll see...

Setting up a motor is all about the gearing & the expectations. You can push a 1/8 ebug with a 380 motor & not over heat. It won’t accelerate quickly at all & won’t be fast at all, but it will work. The same applies to a 1/10 truggy. If you want it to be the fastest thing on the track go ahead & put a 2600kv 1/8 motor in it & run it on an SMC 4300 4s with a tekin rx8. Will that be fast enough for you?
My personal expectation is a 10.5 with some timing & boost, & geared properly, will be fast enough to clear any big triples & not have any heat issues on 2s.
