I am not trashing the TC5 but this thing is really good!!!
Tomradio: Thanks I will do that and watch the belt tension also. I just do not understand it as I have been told by the person I get my motors from, and he is very reputable in RC, too gear it at 3.6. I guess it might have gotten too hot on the second run and hurt it, then running again it just toasted.
You have to take in consideration that 3.6 fdr was given by a guy most likely running a 2 belt car there is a little bit more drag with the E4. At my track I've been racing 13.5 rubber on carpet guys running the same motor and esc as I am are geared at 4.5/4.6 with 2 belt cars and I'm geared at 5.2 fdr. I tried runnung a 4.6 frd and my motor was 190 at 5.2 my motor comes off ay 155. Hope this helps
