Im running a cc 2650kv in mine. I like to run the diffs as 7-10-3 or 7-7-5. I have a 19 tooth pinion thats perfect. I run it HARD
on 4s and temps stay around 150' to 160'.. I had to mess with the castle links toque settings to calm it down a little, and the punch control on the radio. Hope this helps..have fun
