I'm not sure off hand if there are any 1410s out there, but there is at least one Novak 5.5, one Velineon, two or three LRP 5.5 550s and one or two 9.5-10.5 540s. Interesting to note: the guy who is consistently on top is running a 10.5 540.
What esc are you running with the motor and how do you have it programmed? I had mine geared at 16/62 but I was told with that gearing I would overheat the motor very quickly, this was on an indoor tight clay track..... So would it make a difference if i run it on an outdoor 1/8th scale size dirt track??
