Ran the Silver Arrow System last weekend with the Cirtix Slotless 2200KV motor.



Initial thoughts:
ESC is HUGE! But actually ran very cool to my surprise. I have to admit, i did not know what to expect from the Cirtix Slotless motor, but to my pleasant surprise, it was very torquey yet smooth.

Car:
Ofna Ultra GTP2E. The car is about 8 lbs so it is a beast. Ran the stock spur and a 17T pinion. (Stock was 14t)

Performance:
Previously, i had a Novak HV system with a 6.5 HV motor i borrowed from my E Revo. Although the HV system had much more torque off the line, the RIP from the Cirtix Slotless motor was very impressive. Infact, to my surprise, i ran out of GEAR! I could gear this system up probably another 4 teeth. I was temping at 109* all day. Driving against the other GT8 cars, with 2650kv motors with Tekin or mamba systems, the power was right there, just a little but lacking on the 170' straight. Nothing a few for teeth for gearing can fix.

Final Thoughts:
With the boom in 8th scale electric buggies hitting the offroad tracks in Socal, it is a no brainer it would eventually be hitting the Onroad scene as well. With the GT8 cars sprouting everywhere, the New Cirtix Slotless motors Hold their own. I will do another report on its performance in a couple of weeks when i run my GT8 car again at Surf City Raceway.
Thumbs up on Speedpassion's Big Bore motor and ESC. Definitely a goos system to go with.
