Thanks!
I've not used a Tekin Pro4 but I have used a Tenshock 550 size 3400KV on 2S and 3s and also 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 Novak 550 motors, but only on 2S. This is in 2WD slashes. The 4.5 is used with a Proline trans and I find it hard to keep the slipper tight enough. The Tenshock is used with a Robinson HD slipper with steel spur and I've stripped the spider gears inside the diff the one time I tried to run it on the street with 3S. 7.5 turn Novak or Tekin 550 2 pole motors would probably work well on 3S.
I might have a 3500Kv Pro4HD available if you'd like to try that.
